Do You Set Challenging Goals For Yourself?

[JohnXDoe]

And do you achieve them? Not things you have to do....but things you want to do? Or are compelled to do. Things that are hard or challenging? Short term goals, I guess you could say.

I never have, and realized that the other day. And I am wondering if others do, and how they accomplish them? I was talking casually with my therapist and told her I wanted to lose 10lbs. I have b4, but I gain the same 10lbs back. She asked how I lost weight, and I told her I just ate less and worked out more. Don't even think about it. She said I needed to keep it off, and for that I need to set up a routine to do so that I practice everyday. Beyond working out. I needed to keep setting and reaching goals.

This troubled me, because I don't want to that. I just want to live life casually and not have to think about anything but what I have to do everyday to get by.

So, do you set goals for yourself? Challenge yourself on a day to day basis to achieve them? What do you have in front of you right now you are doing? How will you make it? Big or small...

Its something I just can't grasp :(

[Meatplow]

I always do things by routine, and set myself goals, but being a bipolar insomniac does not help my cause

[Zakath]

I don't set goals for myself, I am just so awesome I accomplish **** without thinking about it.

One day I would like to have a large pile of gold.

Then I will continue having said pile.

Forever.

She had no idea her gold was worth so much money

She had no idea.. that sentence would be so hard to say

[huxtaposition]

sure if theyre easy theyre not worth anything upon achieving

One day I hope to make a goal so challenging for myself that I can't even make it, I can only try.

My most challenging goal at my age is getting out of bed in the morning. The rest is gravy.

I don't really sit down and write out goals and challenges. I don't find it works. I suppose I have goals in my head, but not really concrete ones.

[ToxicVenom]

no i dont set goals maybe i should

[bradc1988]

I set goals but they're rarely, if ever, achieved

I've set a goal of attaining my pilot's license. I'm heading up to Fairbanks April 6-7th and staying up there until I get it. I have $14,000 to coast on.

My challenging goal right now is to keep my company growing. Really hard in this economy.
