Reassessing Goals



The show “Revenge”, always had me sitting on the edge of my seat wondering what was about to happen next as I gasped with each scandalous ordeal.
Finding out the show is about to be no more, each episode somehow managed to get more dramatic and leaving me with a sense of sorrow.
The main character becomes fixated on making it her lifelong goal to clear her father’s name of any wrong doing, and punishing those who played a part in her father being falsely accused and wrongly imprisoned.
Her goal of clearing her father’s name becomes an obsessive need, which causes her to go about inflicting pain and problems on those who did her father wrong.
When she finally reaches her goal to clear her father’s name, she realizes she has become so obsessed with clearing her father’s name that she destroyed so many lives in the process that she only has blood on her hands – when she is finally on top of the mountain of success, she can’t help but sigh with regret, wondering if all her time, energy, and effort was worth it all and for what.
She showed me the importance of chasing after your goals, like a dog running after a bone, but knowing the fine between desire and sheer insanity.
While I can’t stop emphasizing the importance of goal setting and planning, I also can’t stop emphasizing the importance of reassessing goals.

The Pinnacle of Success


https://creatinggrowthwithifrah.wordpress.com/2015/05/03/the-pinnacle-of-success/



Sometimes when you hit the peak of success, you cringe in fear thinking that your growth will soon be halting as you have plateaued out.

The fear of what is next can often consume you, as the fear of the unknown and unanswered questions start accumulating.  

The journey to find the height of success is often associated with growing pains, as most people are aware of the turbulent ups and downs they have to endure with tenacity to reach their goals.

But what happens when you successfully reach your long term goals.
There comes a time in your life though, when you are at the pinnacle of your success, by having achieved your goals whether it is work, school, family, and/or friends related– and as you stand on the mountain top, you can’t help but look down and scream in fear.

At the age of 24, where I have earned my MBA, and have successfully helped launch a locally owned family run restaurant through my marketing and advertising efforts – I am at the pinnacle of success by having climbed to the mountain top.  

Instead of looking down from the mountain top, with fear consuming me to wonder what next awaits me, I find excitement knowing that life will still provide me endless opportunities – even if I don’t have it all planned out to perfection.


Accomplishing the goals you had penned out in your agenda, and one day waking up to find that you have successfully fulfilled the goal requirements, sometimes gives birth to both shock and an identity crisis – where you feel that you are no longer waking up with a sense of purpose, where you feel void of a sense of direction.

Even though it is difficult, coming to terms that you have successfully accomplished the entirety of your goals you had set in the past, it is exciting to realize that this creates an exciting opportunity to set more long term goals for the potential to reassess your current life and what you want your life to be in the future.

I am a firm believer that you have to have faith in the future, knowing that the best is yet to come.
