Miss the target, but still win.

Have you hit the target on everything you hoped to change or accomplish this year?

Me either. Not even close. Few are or ever will. There’s just so much stuff that sounds great that doesn’t seem reasonable given all the other things in our lives.

But here’s the bigger question. What ARE you aiming for and taking steps to accomplish that is important to you?

Zig Ziglar, the famous motivational speaker, has always said “If you aim at nothing, you’ll hit it every time.”

Comment by Jen McDonough "The Iron Jen" on October 10, 2012 at 4:03am: Nice goal setting here Jeff! It REALLY does make a huge difference when we aim at goals versus just trying to "improve" something. Running is also a great example for me. I find my excuses for not running come quickly if I am not training for anything. Yet when I have a upcoming race - it is a no brainer to get out there and train. This is true for any aspect in our lives.

Live Beyond Awesome.

Man I've a couple big ones that I really missed this year. I'm scratching my head right now trying to figure out where I dropped the ball. And that makes me excited about the changes I'm already making for 2013. Going to be a spectacular year!
