Permission to Elevate: Why Long-term Goals Are Important
Have you thought about your life’s goals lately?
Goals are simpler while you’re in school, at least for a little while.
The first is the program choice. Then which classes to take. Next is participating in each class with the goal of passing. And finally, graduation. This fits whether at college or high school.
As it gets closer to graduation, a goal might be more schooling. Or perhaps the focus is a job type or industry.
What happens when you are on that path (school or otherwise) and something pulls you away?
Maybe you still finish the first part, such as graduation. The next part, though, gets put on hold and that could be indefinitely.
I am working on redefining that goal which ended up on hold.
The Backstory
After graduation two years ago (second bachelor’s degree), my original intention had been more schooling. In the end, I decided not to apply. Too many things felt off, including the closeness of the deadlines.
