Shot Glass Thought: Setting Goals, Doing Something

Setting goals is important when it comes to getting something done. Making a plan and doing your best to stick to it is important as well. But the most important thing is actually doing shit. I can plan on being the president of the United States but if I never leave the mountains of North Carolina, then my plan isn't worth a fuck when you're alone. I mean, you won't be fucking anyone if you're alone. I think that makes sense. 

When I set a plan, and I've found that mental plans are better than written ones. If I write it down, then it's only to remember it as a mental plan later. But if the plan stays mental the whole time, then I can always be adjusting and working in other factors that perhaps where not a part of the equation before. This is how it is helpful for me.

There one thing that I've been doing that has made me feel better and is also kind of related to this topic. It's laying on my bed and doing deep breathing and then just imagining something really great happening for someone else. I see their reaction and the joy that they experience and it makes me feel good too. This is kind of like keeping a plan mental. I don't need to email my imagined scenario to the person I was thinking of so that we can iron out the details of how they will get to that joy. I can just feel good for a bit and then go back to life. If nothing else happens, then me feeling good for a bit is good enough for me.
