Personal Goals

Personal goals are at the heart of each individual’s motivation. Without these goals, where would motivation come from? There are varying levels of goals we each set for ourselves or that are even set for us by our parents, family members, friends, and society. Accomplishing these personal goals gives us a sense of satisfaction and satisfaction is what I believe everyone is searching for in life.

For some people their personal goals are too personal to share with many others, if any other. Many of my goals aren’t of that nature and I will list a few of them below:

1.      Finish the first revision of my first novel

2.      Complete my secret project within a year’s time

3.      Help people to help other people ( www.myneedynation.com )

4.      Create a very active tight-knit community online that carries over into real life

In number four above I say “into real life” as though the internet isn’t part of reality when, in fact, it is. The internet is a huge part of real, everyday life. Even so, it seems that there is a disconnect between many who are friends online when it comes to the physical world. I would like to create a community that transcends this invisible barrier. However, creating that community is the challenge. What is the key to making people feel as though they are a valued member of a community? How do you let them know that they are an important piece to the puzzle?

There comes a point when the community grows and responding to each individual is virtually impossible. I suppose at this point there would need to be several crawlers (moderators) who are active members of the community and who are willing to reply to the comments left by the other members. Perhaps one day I will achieve this goal along with the other members. Perhaps you will be a part of this if this is the sort of community you think you would like to be a part of.
