Of course not.  There are things on my journey that need to be achieved yet.

Get my life back on financial track.
Graduate College.
Get a new Job where no one knows of my past.
SRS.

And these are just a few of the major ones.

I've achieved the goal of escaping my mother's house, finishing my first novel (and almost the second), and graduating high school.

I'm still working on graduating college, becoming financially independent, traveling abroad, and working as a writer.

I'm getting there.

Yup, both of them.  Still, I need a nap.

Some. But with every completed goal there is a new one to add to the list. Today's goal is to fuse 3 layers of glass in various colors without trapping too many bubbles to produce a reasonable facimile of a humming bird in flight.

The kiln is cycling through the annealing cycle right now.

See I tried to avoid that, it become the never ending chase.  I choose a few huge ones, that were hard and important and figured everything else on down the line would take care of itself.

Well there you go.  I'd quit now while I was ahead.

Everyone will reach the goal of death so just enjoy the ride and hope you never get there.

Death is not a goal, its a destination.  In the meantime, staying alive is just part of the mission.

Unfortunately, it's only a temporary destination. Remember the good and forgive the bad or you'll go crazy after a few lifetimes.

I'm one of those keep adding to the list kind of people. Maybe my next goal should be to quit adding goals to my list.

Hi Audry hon, nice to hear you are doing well. Will continue sending prayers that all will continue to go well.

As for me, My biggest goal was accomplished when I transitioned to be me, the woman I have known I always was, and now the balance of my journey has only begun.

I look at the mountain with anxiousness and pondering excitedly as to what may lie on the other side for me to explore.

Ive achieved most of my major goals, GRS & career wise.  Now I break personal long range goals into simpler short term goals . This way Im able to achieve these short term ones , one by one , and go forward.
