Goal setting

I am in the midst of penning my work goals for financial year 2009. Its quite hard to do so since everything must be aligned with a corporate goal. Obviously. This excercise has got me thinking about how as a much MUCH younger person, I used to plan my life in the way one would strategy plan for a corporation - with short, medium and long term goals.

I used to have this list of major goals that I needed to achieve by the ripe old age of 30. The age has been reached, but not the goals. In fact only 1 out of the 3 goals can be crossed off.

You know what they say, want to make God laugh? Tell Him your plans. I did and hmmm He decided another path was better suited for me. I'm trusting that He's right.

I am trying to learn how to 'let go' my life and not mini-ochestrate every minute of my day. Its hard. The control freak in me fights daily to get out, often rearing its head in the wee hours of the morning when all is quiet and dark.

I still plan and hope that some of my goals are reached, but I am now more accepting when they don't happen.
