Day 76

          Goal are an important part of life, but letting them control you life isn't a good idea. There has to be a fluidity to life, and only staying within one's plan to achieve a goal can be a hindrance rather than a help. I think life gives us situations that allow us to grow. It is up to us to do the growing, though. We are the ones that have to make the effort. Though it is difficult, that growth often gets us closer goals even if we don't see it right away. Despite all the pain I have faced in my life, I have grown exponentially as a person, far beyond my dreams. Actually, I'm nowhere near where I had dreamed I'd be when I was young, but I am by far much happier than I ever believed I could be.

Lessons:

Learn the lessons life gives you on you way to your goal, after all, it's the journey that counts.
