So Much For Setting Goals

I just signed in after a busy holiday season, and read my last post. I FAILED! I set a goal to write about goal setting the last few weeks of 2008, AND I DIDN'T DO IT! What could this mean? Am I a failure? Should I just throw in the towel and forget all about this goal setting stuff...which I apparently know nothing about? Was this just an object lesson for all to see that a Life Coach who specializes in goal setting failed to meet the goal, but can pick up where she left off and go forward? I am not a failure because I failed to meet the goal...I won't throw in the towel because I do know how to set a goal and put into place the necessary tools in order to achieve the goal. And no, it wasn't an object lesson. It just happened. Life happened. The holidays happened and I neglected to follow through with the goal I set. Perhaps it was because I DIDN'T make it a priority. And if the truth be told, I didn't really set the goal. It was more of a thought, along with good intentions to write. A goal is like a living document, meant to live, breathe and move, which allows me, in fact, gives me permission to not only not meet the goal but to change it as change becomes necessay in order TO meet the goal.
I missed the last weeks in 2008 but so what? Now I have the motivation I need to write the goal down and dig out those tools to go along with the goal. Here's to 2009 and goals met.
