Greetings Tribe!
For a few years now I have made it a practise to review and create goals on new years eve/day. Resolutions are too easy to ditch, but goals can be powerful. It can take an hour or a lifetime to achieve a goal.
The past two years, I have been unable to create any new goals and my old ones I have already achieved. So, I\'ve been on a quest to find new goals…what do I want to be? Where do I want my life to go?
Tonight, I\'m sitting quietly just watching some TV and the ultimate goal hit me. My number one goal for my life…and it\'s so simple yet so complex. It isn\'t something I can give myself but something others are already providing.
GOAL: To be loved, truely loved.
Considering this most ultimate goal, I realized that I already have it…but have not seen it. I am loved by those who know me on AT. I am loved by those who know me in life. Considering it, I\'m surrounded by love.
Let\'s get a little deeper on this one though. Let\'s define the most basic form of love. To me, the most basic form is someone who misses you, who is glad to see you, who knows that their life is better because you exist and are a part of their life.
By that definition, I am loved by:
- My friend
- Some co-workers
- Some A.T. folks
- My old friends
- Even my dog!
This in-site has lead me to ponder the human race as a whole and what we all need. In the grand picture, isn\'t it that we all need to be loved? Following the simple definition, isn\'t there at least one person you can think of that loves you or has loved you? Someone who misses you. Someone who\'s life was impacted for the better because of YOU…? Many of us, I think, would say yes. Anyone out there saying no, you\'re not looking in the right area I suspect.
If your answer is still no, stay tuned for my next blog…humanity. In that, you will find that at least one person loves you.
