When You Run It Becomes Clear

I was jogging along last night as one does (except in my case slowly) when it hit me.  No not the car or bus but one of those thoughts.  It had been one of those normal unexceptional days in work and I had been wondering about priorities and goal setting (which I do more than actually setting goals) when I realised some simple facts.  One was that you don’t have to have lots of goals; just a few will do.  Hit them hard and try and make them work.  If you only have two or three achievable goals then that is cool. 

Mine are as try and run regularly and slowly.  Eat reasonably.  Have a good family life and become a better employee.

Now to be honest these aren’t goals as they aren’t measurable but at least they are targets.  As ran along in the cool evening and my mind became clearer and my shirt sweatier I became even more philosophical.  My second follow on thought was that nothing else other than the goals should matter,  or if it does matter it should be really secondary (as in way back in the back of the stand).

What is this guy meandering about?

An example may help (it always does for me…)

Lets say you are in a bar and you have had a couple of beers and a few slices of Pizza, if your goal is fitness and health you should bail out after that and go home and go for a short walk rather than having more beer and pizza.  Nobody really cares which choice you make as I am sure that you realise that other people have their own goals and plans in life.

Deep maybe but I may expand in my next leather couch session.
