Beth, you’re welcome. I’ve no doubt that you’ll be able to do whatever you want. What’s the book? Can you say?

This is a great posting, Josh. I have a book I’m writing, and it can get discouraging because I have all these self-doubts. One of my other goals, to resume running, has been so hard to attain since my very complicated surgery three years ago.

I work really hard at striving to achieve my dreams, so I keep plugging away. You are right about having our behaviors match our goals. I’m happy to report that I am getting up in the morning to write and trying to run. Ran a fifth of a mile recently, which is good for me nowadays. I get frustrated because pre-surgery, I could do a 5K. But I have to accept the new me and do what I can to stay in shape.

I really needed to hear your words of inspiration and encouragement.

Thanks!!

I have an accountability buddy that I check in with weekly. We have similar goals so each week, we discuss what we’re out to accomplish and we continuously push ourselves to get there and to meet our weekly goals.

This is a fabulous post! I love your suggestion to synch up your habits with your goals. A simple statement with profound implications. This one’s going on the fridge for daily consideration. Glad to hear the class is going well and is enjoyable.

“Don’t get too comfortable. You’ll regret it.”

Boy, don’t I feel that (after 4 years of living “comfortably”, I’m taking a plunge next year). Comfortable is a polite word for “rut”.

Curse you and your challenges to help me become a better person. I’ve been setting very achievable goals and feeling good achieving them. I don’t stretch nearly as much I as should. Thanks.

Great post. I’ll start by thanking you for your guest post on my blog this week. The points you made here came at a very good time in my life. I’m ready to make the changes in my life today that help me really achieve my goals and stop talking about what I need to do.
