Nike: Just do it

I've been thinking about goals a lot recently. All the goals I've made and all the goals I haven't finished. All the goals I currently have, and what must be done to get there. I think people, including myself, mistake goals for wishes or dreams. I think we all want more--whether it's more health, more knowledge, more money, more spirituality, or more improvement overall. I know for me, I figure out what I want to get more of, and I may come up with a plan to get there. But a lot of times it stops there.

Most of us have heard of making "SMART" goals: Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Time-managed goals. I have used this method of setting goals many times. I write specific details of my goals and what I want to achieve. So why, then, are there so many goals that have gone unreached? I don't do the work. My desire may be there, but my willingness to sacrifice what is necessary is not there. Isn't that dumb? haha it's kind of ridiculous to think about--I could be so much farther in all aspects of life if I would just work. I feel like we should expand the way of making "smart" goals to making "SMART NIKE" goals and add to the end of everything: JUST DO IT!

I tend to think too much about the past and all the things I have and haven't done, but today I am going to move forward. I am taking my goals and running with them. With my Nike mindset and shoes.
