Goal Oriented

Someone once told me that if you don’t write down a goal, then it isn’t really a goal. I don’t know if I subscribe to that or not. All I know is that when you focus on what you want and you get there, it feels pretty darn good.
I’ve got these ideas in my head that never made it to paper (or computer), but *I* know what they are. Call them “goals” or “thoughts”…or whatever. I have things in my mind for long term, and I have things in mind for the very near short term. I had a set back with one that was due to circumstances beyond my control, but I’m still gaining ground on it.
Currently, I’ve got some primary objectives to attain by the end of this month (May). So far, one down and two to go. I don’t know if not writing them down is screwing me over or not, but part of me just doesn’t feel comfortable doing that. It makes for a very peculiar feeling… being able to feel uninhibited about writing my opinions or beliefs down and plunking them on a page in cyberspace for everyone to see, yet not being able to write a personal ambition in a notebook on my own desk at home. What’s up with that?
