The status quo has got to go

The status quo has got to go January 9, 2011
This time of year, most of us have a few goals in mind. And why not? There’s no time like now to reassess our financial, career, family and spiritual direction.
I have a few myself. I’ve written them down with some steps to get to each of them. There’s much to be said for having some structure to help catapult me toward a destination.
Bradley Moore at Shrinking the Camel wrote a challenging post calling “Are you planning to grow?”  He challenges the assumption of achievement and encourages us to focus on growth instead.
“Growth is more of a lifelong process, a journey,” he reasons.  Especially when “Compared to the relative ease of checking off a short-term result.”
He asks, “Are your goals generating a richer meaning in your life?”
He has some great suggestions like
  • Do something that terrifies you
  •  Put yourself in a situation where you are over your head
  •  Try something you’ve never done before
What’s the most challenging goal you have this year? Comment here.
