Being a creative and busy person can often lead to unfinished projects and every so often I find myself feeling rather uninspired.
I just caught myself last week realizing a dream + goal I had nearly a year ago had not come into any type of fruition. I got distracted, I was stressed – I actually changed jobs and started working for myself. Things happen and your goals don’t necessarily happen as soon as you would like them to. They can’t be forced and I don’t really think that any good idea should be forced into completion prematurely. I feel good about the path I am now – I just had to slow down, re-group, re-inspire myself and find my creative footing for this special project.
We all have big goals and we all know that doing everything all at once is impossible. It is not about when you get your personal goals or projects done, it is how about how you get there and the quality effort you put into it.

Maybe the hardest thing for all of us to remember is that the journey matters as much as the end point?
I’ve found I make a monster goals list at the beginning of each year, and then refresh by making miniature goals at the beginning of each month. Things have a way of eventually finding their way into your life if you think about them long enough. And some don’t ever come to fruition! It adds to the fun.
Really enjoying the blog
That is a great way to keep yourself in check and then realize what is most important to at that point. Otherwise you end up disappointed in yourself by the end of the year.
Thanks for reading, Stephanie! I just love the polkadot illustration you did on the getdown.ca – I need that outfit!!!
hey kait! that image is from glamour italy, july 2012. google reverse image search is awesome.
I think one of the downsides of being super goal oriented is just having too many goals..more goals than are reasonable to complete. I definitely make one or two goals too many for myself each year. It’s awesome that you are re-grouping and going after a goal that has fallen to the wayside
