How Do You Feel When You Achieve The Little Goals Along The Way In Life?

Congratulations on both accounts. You wanted to live close to the ocean and I do not see that as a small goal but a big achievement. I am glad that you are happy. Congratulations on your 5000 post.

yes life is wholly about expectations and in order to achieve them fixing a goal really helps. when i was a student i wanted to be professional and want to become an engineer and at the end of my studies and i did it and i am an engineer now. yes it is not the only one in this way i had more goals to be done and i had reached a few and a few yet to reach and i really happy for the one i had already reached and i am looking forward and waiting for the one yet to reach. wish me good luck for those yet to reach and good luck to you too for the one even you want to reach.

[i]Hi ellie, Wow...that was cool for you! Congratulations! I know how it feels! In my case, I posted last week about too late for my goal and luckily I was close to my payout last month so I am thinking I can make more than that if my mood will not change for the remaining days..LOL! I can't believed it really that I was able to make more than $2 for the past few days...hahaha... ANyway, achieving little goals means so much to me...it makes me so inspired and makes my day! LOL![/i]

wowwwwwww congratulations Ellie can we exchange the points in mylot?hmmmm 5000.hehehe just kidding dear.well i know its great feeling.i have reach also some goals this month that i will get my second pay out.

I want to congratulate you for the acheivement you had in your life. It is really nice to acheive something like this. Acheivement always has meanings whether it is small or big. I have also set up goals for my life and I hope I will be able to acheive it in life. I have just started to work towards my life and lets see how long does it take to get fulfill.

Hi ya ellie333 Well I tend to set my self small goals like on mylot. I have in mind a target I want to reach for my earings for this month and I should do it although there are only two days or so left. As I am an at home mum on my own I don't have the time to do courses but I will be as soon as it is possible and then I guess I will be setting myself a goal in the job area!

Congratulations on reaching some of your (life) goals Ellie, I'm glad to hear so. Currently I reached the goal of getting a part-time job in child day care and getting permission from my college to do my studies in a part-time variant. These were my two goals to avoid a big loan to get me through college. I passed both my schooltests, so that's another goal archieved! Another goal was to take more time to relax and I have been able to do that a bit more often aswell, even though it's something I need to keep paying attention to. My next goal is saving up to do something nice with my fosterbrother, taking him to a toddlers theaterperformance or a themepark. I spend more time with him now as I take more time to myself, but now I have more funds so I would like to take him somewhere too . I guess this will become a new years resolution for me... I hate those, promised myself never to make those as they are only broken and there are lots of other good moments to make resolutions. Oh well... lol

Living by the sea is an awesome goal. I'm happy for you that you were able to do it. There is something truly special about living by the sea. I agree that the smaller goals along the way make the difference. Sometimes I even set teeny tiny little goals just to have a success at achieving something. Hee.

hi there.. i feel good if i achieve little goals. i had decided middle of the year to set midyear resolutions and one by one i am tryign to achieve it... to make my life better... and be happier... i choose to make my life interesting even just a bit. one of those goals was to go out of the country and i did. i went to hong kong recently and had fun. i am hoping for another vacation soon. that is why i am mylotting alot... or trying too.. which is another goal. happy mylotting.

Congratulations Ellie!! Being honest though I haven't acheived anything of late apart from going to a workshop run by David Wells and two ladys that were also tutors that was about the Quabbala which was very interesting..maybe I should start setting some 'goals' myself!.Huggles littleowl

Hi Ellie, All my life I dream of owning a house in the country and now I have even though the hose is not far from the town centre but a few yards down the road I can go into the thich woods and lose myself to be alone when I want to, secondly I wnated to become a healer and now I am my, then I wanted to learn how to use the computer and now I have, I wanted to reached 4000 before I reach my payout date and it looks like I'm going to, so I have achived most things in life but the one thing that I couln't acchive was having children while most women has without thinking about it.

Wow,we are both the same.I love living along the beach too.I really love the peaceful and calm ocean every night.I feel relax everytime i stay overnight in the beach.Anyway,my goal in life was to have a happy family which i had achieved last year.Now,i am looking forward to see my daughter achieving a career and have a stable living before my life ends.In connection with this goal i hope to see my grandchildren playing around with me.

I feel great, little goals are my special things. Nobody knows but me when I reach one but I give myself a pat on the back each time. This helps me have a positive out look. After all I can't control the big things but as long as I pay attention I can the little ones.

I haven't really had that many big goals in life so far, obviously there was passing exams and school and passing my driving test etc. My main goal at the moment is to finish my training, i think that will feel amazing!! I can remember when i was trying to lose weight achieving my goal at the end of two months of dieting, that was a really good feeling, i rewarded myself with a new outfit (although what i really wanted was a greasy pizza!! lol) xxxx

Ellie CONGRATUATIONS on your 5000! I knew you could make it before the month end. Achieving goals an setting targets, eve if its a small one is very important to make our living very satisfying. I do set targets like finishing my chores, wrap up with the deadlines and go shopping with mom and help her with stuffs. It feels like achieving something. My current goal is to wrap up settling our house before the main festival on us Bengalees. Its Durga Puja which is next week and I must finish off my deadlines. Hoping to have a blast with the old friends coming over and nothing like a get together. You have a great time! Huggles.

Heheeheh great!! Don't we always feel great when we do what we promised ourselves to do. Achieving a goal is actually keeping a promise we made to ourselves. So, if we achieve a goal it simply means we honor our own word. Only then we become capable of achieving more. Cheers and happy mylotting

Thinking about what I wanted to do as a child was to work with children, I have got my qualification and worked in a restaurant in the child play area for just over 2 years and then moved onto a nursery and was there about 4 years so I feel that I have accomplished my goal. Now that I am settled where I am now my goal is to start a family an go back into working in childcare

Congrats on both. I set small goals for myself because unless I'm moving forward I'm just coasting backward, when you coast you can only go in two directions. I make daily lists so I complete small goals along the way but its important to post your goals so you have a visual that can be turned into a mental. I guess the last goal I acheived was finishing some writting that I had put off. Now I'm going to add some more acheivable goals to my list.

I always feel good about reaching any goals, large or small. I had a lifetime goal of living in the country with enough land to grow most of the fruits, vegetables and nuts that I eat. It took me 55 years, but I finally made it last year. Once we settled in and most things were unpacked and in their proper places, I felt "home". It was, and still is, a very good feeling. Some days my goal is simply to get to the grocery store to buy something that is needed. If the day is a hectic one and I manage to squeeze in enough time to get the grocery shopping done, I'm happy. I've had goals here in myLot that I've met; reaching 100 posts, then 200 posts, then, finally, 500 posts. Now that I have all of the 'goodies' that myLot offers upon reaching those goals, I don't count my posts anymore. One goal I've had for most of my life was to help at least one person every day, even if it was just to put a smile on their face. I'm able to accomplish that goal here in myLot. I'm not able to get out of the house every day because of my physical problems but, since I found myLot, I've been able to at least try to make at least one person feel better every day. That makes me happy. I think everyone, no matter how 'tough' or emotionless they seem, feels good about reaching personal goals, even if they don't show it. Personally, I'm such a loudmouth that everyone knows how happy I am when I reach a goal I've set.

Congratulations! A very great humanitarian once said... and I quote-"There are those who have goals and think about doing something about them and don't. And there are those who have dreams and do nothing about them. And then there are those who dream to achieve their goals and do." And this is what makes all the difference in the kind of person we strive to be. Good for you!
