You can dream of things out of your reach, but can you aim your goals? There is a time when reality hits and separates your dreams from your goals. Don’t live life in a dream, you will waist what is in front of you!

A friend of mine told me about a funeral he just went to. A life cut short at 29. It just makes reality seem a little closer. We look at life in a whole different way.

Aiming Forward

What is a goal and how does it fit with dreams and reality? A goal is something we want to achieve, accomplish and be satisfied with. Reality is what is all around us, It comes from our surroundings. To move we need direction, which is where aiming comes from.

Do we aim forward? Is forward a direction or a path? I bet you didn’t think of that before.

Aiming towards a goal sometimes even makes you take a few steps backwards. That is a dance they call the cha cha! Two steps back one step forward. Try it sometimes you might be surprised how far you get.

Aiming High

You might call this shooting the stars or reaching for the moon. Reaching past and out of your boundaries to find new things. Changing reality for different or difficult ways to get to another step.

Goals need to bring you up above where you are to reach new heights and depths in your thinking. Aiming high will give you that lift.

You need to aim your goals in order to have a direction. Just like putting GPS in your phone to guide you. Finding your way and seeing the sights from here to there will give you so much. Aim high and forward to see the right path.
