Happiness / Peace of Mind
If I achieved all my life's goals how would I feel? How can you feel that along the way?
It's really difficult for me to even fathom achieve ALL my life's goals. I can definitely fathom achieve the "lion's share" of my life's goals (typically the bigger, longer term goals). But to answer the question I guess to achieve all my life's goals would be a surreal feeling; probably like reaching the summit of Mt. Everest, or winning a Superbowl / World Series / NBA Championship / FIFA World Cup. Such a small population of people, in the history of the world, have ever accomplished these feats that they seem almost impossible. And for most of us those feats are probably impossible because we are trained to take on the riggers that come with the journey that accomplishing those feats will take you down. So that begs the question: Have I trained myself to be able to walk down the path that will lead me to accomplishing ALL my life's goals? Hmmm, I think I'm still in training...LOL.
How can I experience that surreal feeling along the way? (These are some monstrously thought provoking questions) Well I guess if I apply the way I do my warm-up runs before workouts I that could give me a good base. Let me explain about 3 or 4 months ago I started working out regularly again, and before I workout I run approximately 2 miles around my neighborhood. Well recently I changed my route and now I have an uphill run on the side of this monstrous hill, at the midway point of my run. I don't like to stop on my run so as I go up mini Mt. Everest I pick landmarks about 10 - 15 yards in front of my and once I reach the landmark I repeat the process to I make it to the summit, and my body goes back into cruise control. Hitting each landmark is an exhilarating experience for me and gets me excited about hit the next landmark, and now that I think about I am just as excited about hitting my landmarks as I am about beating my personal best times on my runs. How about that never realized that before. Therefore, if I apply this strategy to achieving all my smaller goals in life, I can obtain that surreal feeling all the way to accomplishing all my life's goals. It's probably easier said than done but it's definitely worth a shot.
