Much later in life...40+....I decided that even though my life took crazy turns, I would fulfill my dream of going to graduate school and I enrolled, went and finished about a year ago. It was hard, but very fulfilling/rewarding.
Surely, having goals is very motivational.
Today, I'm trying to set some new goals and actually right this second am a little confused as to what they might be.
Very generally, I know that I would like to be a helpful (but not intrusive) wife, mother, friend and eventually grandmother.
But, I certainly feel like I need more goals and I'm workig on them.
I do agree with the other poster about the importance of paying attention to oneself....I'm working on that as well!!!
