Personal Goals

It's that time of the year again – time for fresh beginnings, and of course new goals.  However, the latter is what I hate the most.  The New Year is a time to think about what we wish to accomplish, and with that comes what we didn't accomplish the previous year.  I mean, what happened to my weekly exercise plan?  Building muscle definition?  Or even, finishing this course early?  I am disappointed in myself, to say the least.  I guess I decided to place my goals on a rocket ship destined for the outer edges of the universe, instead of confronting them like a man.  The only problem is no matter how far I send the rocket ship; it always finds a way to return the next year, forcing me to either deal with it or get rid of it.  It is really a tough dilemma with all the distractions – video games, friends, etc.  But, there must be some underlying force driving this sad situation.  I think a good word for it is procrastination.  This year I am going to test my limits by doing what no ordinary man has ever done before.  I am going to battle the evil forces of procrastination head on (seriously).  I will renew those goals from last year like the exercise (ugh), building muscle definition (I'm crying now), and finishing this course early (this one may still be possible).  But, I am going in with a fresh mindset that will officially destroy procrastination.  As you can tell, exercise is my weak point.  I am lazy, and I love making excuses to convince myself to set it aside (procrastination at work).  This will change.  My motivation will be the health benefits as well as the thought of a longer and happier life.  Now, I have had enough fun writing this post, and it's time for my jog.  But, I guess there is always next week, right?  It is pouring rain, and I haven't touched my Playstation in a while.  I guess my jog will have to wait.
