I’m not going to begrudge myself my natural bias towards numbers, and towards reality. Numbers help, they tell the story. Goals are made up of numbers, and a lot of goals are measurable. If something matters to you–really matters–you’ll wind up doing more of it. If going to church is important to you, go to church, if exercise is important to you, do more. It makes sense–to break a lot of life down into measurable chuncks, and work with it that way.
Goals, I believe in, and will continue to believe in.
But–for my entire life–I’ve gravely undervalued friendships and relationships. I’ve undervalued how it is to be able to have conversations with people.
I think it’s true–nobody wants to see their academic rewards on their deathbed. They want their kids and grandkids to be around them.
So, moving forward, I’m going to have relationship goals, and try and build my life more around those ideas…helping benefit people.
