I have been there and done that now what?

@allknowing Very true, or else there is no point in setting goals in the first place !

Setting a goal is not bad but one must have a cut off time for them.

External forces play a vibrant role in fulfilling our goals and when they refuse to co-operate that is when one has to discard them.

@allknowing Planning is all about taking external elements into account.. you also make a provision for the things you can do nothing about.

@sofssu Let me give you an example. I was planning on setting up homes for seniors and had involved a builder but that builder had to leave the country because of some issues. Who could have thought he would do that. A good guy but circumstances were such he had no other alternative.

To each their own. Yes. Setting goals gives meaning to one's life. I wish you the best in your efforts and success thereof. I have had goals set and saw to their successful reach.

No thank you. I have a spring in my step carrying out what my completed goals have lined up for me. They are a handful. To give you an example my goal was to design my own home and garden. I have done that and today that completed goal has lined up so many activities that I have no time to breathe.

@allknowing You know we did exactly that ! Bought an old house and garden , inspite of having other people advise us against i,t and then got it renovated and added on and spruced up the garden, am quite happy with the result !That is the picture of my garden and the pit has been dug for planting a coconut sapling !

@kiran8 When my husband bought me this property ever since then I have been designing, and designing and designing and finally when the time arrived I put my goal in place and today that goal having been reached I have enough on my hands that this goal has lined up for me.
