Be a goal-getter! Your accomplishments will amaze you. Instead of go, go, go-ing into each new day, steer towards something that’s important to you and to your family. Our lives can certainly stay busy, but we can feel better about how our hours and days are spent when there are tangible priorities and goals on the horizon. Now that we’re in January, consider all the fresh opportunities to set new and long-term goals for the year. – Complete a project at work that I’ve been procrastinating over – Explore another form of exercise and discover something I might really enjoy – Replace soda with more nutritious drinks – Pack my lunch a few times this week instead of going out to lunch – Mindfully relax for at least 10 minutes each day – Prepare a meal at home tonight and sit down as a family to enjoy it – Spend 2 hours more each week with my family members Take a look at these short-term goals and think about which ones you’d like to see happen in your life more often: If we all took a moment to establish a few specific goals each day, week, month, or year, and went after them with purpose, our lives might feel more rewarding and less chaotic. Imagine how your life would change if you knew exactly where you were going. In life, we’re all about the go, go, go, spinning in circles but not always making measurable progress toward an objective. If you really think about it, the go in “go-getter” is a directionless word, absent a destination. I started to consider what this term actually means. One day I really started to examine the way of life of a go-getter. This outlook probably evolved because we value hard work, and we want to be seen as tireless go-getters who do everything we can for our families. In this country, we show off our busy lives like a badge, telling anyone who will listen how busy we are.

Whenever I hear someone call a person a “go-getter,”I know the words are meant to show admiration for a person’s ambition and energy.
