Having Goals in Life

I thought that this was worthy of a blog post so here you go. I believe that everyone needs to have some goals in life. Everyone is different and some people overplan their lives down to the smallest detail. Other people have no goals whatsoever, living life off the cuff.

For a long time, I was firmly in the second group. I was happy but I never pushed myself beyond the bare minimum. It drove my wife crazy. She has to have a plan for everything and she always strives for more and better things. She has forced me to strive for more than the bare minimum and I think that is a good thing.

My goals now, may seem simple but they are important to me. I want to regain my balance, stability and mobility. I also want to beat this facial paralysis and improve my speech. I want to regain my independence and sense of spontaneity. I also want to be the best father, husband and friend of that I can be. I don't want to get lazy again and wallow in self pity. I don't want to be a burden to to those around me. I want to be an active participant in this life even with my disabilities. I want people to feel like I add value to their lives.

Well that about wraps up my overall goals. I have not achieved them all yet. However, I am confident that I will, sooner or later.

Til next time, Tyler
