Reminder to
self: Goals that depend on others are not goals, but wishes.
Up to me:
*Write regularly
*Meet creative output goals
*Do not shortchange non-writerly
cares
*Meet obligations to critique
partners
*Meet professional communication goals
*Be kind and responsible to all
souls in my sphere, human and feline
*Vacuum occasionally, mop often J
Not up to me:
*Get pat-on-back for writing
*Get pat-on-back for output
*Get appreciation for my cooking etc.
*Have critics like my output
*Have critics like my output
*Get prompt responses
*Have kindnesses come back to me,
human or feline
*Get a good housekeeping award
True statement. Goals are things only you can control.
ReplyDeleteThat's key. :=)
DeleteMy husband will repeatedly tell me about the yard work he did until he gets his pat on the back, so I sometimes tell him when I do the dishes or vacuum just so he can see how it feels to have to give that praise. ;)
ReplyDelete:D
DeleteWell said. And you didn't even ask for that. :)

DeleteA good distinction! Thank you, Mirka.
ReplyDeleteGood list of goals (I prefer mopping to vacuuming, too). In fact, I'll give you two pats on the back for such a great post!
