Goals are one thing, but setting ones that are in line with what *I* need are another entirely. <em>Linda R.

LoL As you said, my to-do list is ever-growing, so it's not like I can ever finish it, or determine a percentage complete. I rarely feel like I'm making progress and am often frustrated by how much didn't get done. At the end of the day, it will be truer to my goals to measure how fulfilled I feel about what did get done than to count the tasks that got completed---or the tasks that didn't. Big thanks! I'm breathing easier...

Let me chew on that one ... @Catherine - Thanks for taking the time to comment. :-) @Kate - Sounds like you're striving for the right things! @Ulla - That's a great way to reframe things. "want" is a powerful word. @Daniel - Preparation pays off, doesn't it? How many readers are you up to? @Brett -

And who’s the bigger fool – the fool, or the fool who follows him? :-)

@Michael –
Dread sucks.

@Betsy -
That’s a great point, and maybe it’s better to refer to it that way. Let me chew on that one …

@Catherine -
Thanks for taking the time to comment. :-)

@Kate -
Sounds like you’re striving for the right things!

@Ulla –

One of the things that I had done prior to starting the blog that I am working on with my friends is that I went on to ask my peers various questions that got them thinking and challenging them to take a step out of their comfort zones and doing something worthwhile. It's after 2 months and talking to 40 over people that I had decided to bring the reach to a wider audience on a step by step basis, and bang: now it's growing. :) No way to becoming a "good dawg". It's better to be greeted with a "good day" rather than something else that points us to be only like animals.
