I wonder how many people would identify with you in just wanting it to be "better than it is now". Thanks for that great insight and joining the conversation. BTW I love the design of your website. :grin: Hi LaurenMarie,

Really great to have you drop in. I wonder how many people would identify with you in just wanting it to be “better than it is now”. Thanks for that great insight and joining the conversation.

I think for a long time I never realized that my goals were merely "better than it is now." But that's not quantifiable. You can never reach a goal like that and have the opportunity to <em>be</em> satisfied. Having SMART goals with me in them will make not only my life more enjoyable and meaningful, but it will affect my attitude and that in turn has an effect on those around me, especially those that love me.

Really glad you dropped in. Way to go!! Making some room for your future is really important. My wife and I made the decision when our kids were born that she would be a stay at home mom. Now that the kids are older she is pursuing her career and I couldn't be happier. You'll always be a mom, but it won't always take all your time. :smile: Renee… first off welcome!

And honestly, for the longest time, I didn't leave a place in my LIFE for myself, let alone in my goals. I've been turning that around though and I'm making a point to have room for me, and remember who I am outside of being mom. So the reminder to include me in my goals is timely and perfect. Thank you. -Renee wear the law of attraction http://www.manifes-t.com I’m a mostly stay at home mom.

It's really good. I guess I was just trying to make sure that our goals were personal as well. You know.... some of our own emotion and feeling in them. Not just static, dry SMART goals. Vivienne.. sure appreciate your thoughtful comments here. Thanks :smile: Yeah I’ve used the SMART acronym before. It’s really good.

How true. How tough. I set goals to achieve something I want. May or may not be my goal or something I need or I like. It could be something I just got to get done. I do get satisfaction for meeting the goals but I may not be happy. Happiness and meeting goals can be completely different issues.
