Goals into Realites

When ever I think of goals, my mind always wanders to sport related goals. It is easy for me to see myself playing basketball because I have been playing for the majority of my life, so it is fairly easy to come up with basketball related goals. When it comes to making personal and life goals, it is a little more difficult because I don't like looking deep into my life. In order to make a life related goal, that means I have to critically look at my life choices in order to make a good goal. For basketball, my goals are to work hard, get stronger & more disciplined, and to work my way up to a starting position this season. As for my life goals, I want to do my laundry this week, eat healthier, pray every night, and be a little smarter about my decision making. For basketball I knew my goals and did not have to think about them before I wrote them down. As for my life goals, I had to think a little harder, but in the end they are all things that I wish to accomplish in both the short run and the long run. For basketball, I know I have a ways to go and I know that I have to work harder than I am now to accomplish theses goals. My life goals will be somewhat of a challenge. Doing my laundry on a weekly basis and eating healthier are the easier of my two short-term goals and should be done with ease. As for praying and making smarter decisions, I need to start doing theses on a daily basis and work hard to keep up the good habits & lose the bad habits. By no means would I consider myself a religious person, but I believe that praying is a good habit to maintain and is something that I feel is important to my life& is lacking in my life currently. My smarter decisions will come along with the praying and with a stronger mental game. In order for me to make smarted decisions, I need to be more disciplined mentally. With all of my goals, my mental toughness comes in to play; the tougher I am the more my goals will become successful realities in the near future.
