We all have people and things that come against us reaching our goals.  In my goal setting workshops and in my life change seminar I cover some ways to increase your odds of success.  One of those ways is to seek accountability.  That is why I post this each week.  So that you can see my progress and boo or cheer me depending on what I am doing.  More importantly I do not wish to disappoint, so I push myself to meet or exceed my own standards.
I long to live heroically.  I read a book this week called the Butterfly Effect.  It essentially points out that doing little things can cause huge chain reactions to the future that may very well change the world.  The other book that I read this week The Resolution for Men, is simply refocusing me toward becoming the man that I want to be.
The other push this week was having a semi informal marriage counseling session.  I long to be a heroic husband and father.  This desire often serves against me as my own disappointments can prevent others from being totally honest with me.  Basically, I am falling short but nobody tells me so I think that I am doing great!  How sad.  I long to be open, transparent and continue on with my drive to live heroically in all areas of my life.
Next week will be very busy. I pray that I will be able to push through the challanges and meet my own standards head on.
