As a Goal
The design of most sporting events is to succeed by achieving a goal. Basketball, footfall, hockey, soccer, baseball, rugby, even ice curling . . . all have their respective goals, end-zones, or home plates. The struggle to reach a goal is, in itself, the endeavor.
Contemplating a year ahead, we have our various goals in mind. Some of these are so minuscule as to remain unnoticed or unappreciated, while others bear a greater weight in our struggles and work and focus. Some might be relational, others personal, some financial. We might even have goals that are so extreme, so large, that it will take years to achieve them.
There are 365 days, each a small goal in itself, and we are promised none of them. So what we do with a day, or in a day, makes a marked difference in the total of the year.
Setting goals is important. And from time to time, when we succeed, it's good to run out into the street and shout: Ggggoooooooaaaaaaalllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!
