That's highly possible.
I think I did feel a little like my own goals were being called crappy, and perhaps that was my own judgment of them?
I want a new place to live that is my own apartment...as I've been unwilling to work 40 hours a week to be able to afford to live on my own since I was 20...that's what I wanted . To have my own place as a base, so I could travel.
As I'm very sensitive, I didn't think that I could handle, and didn't want to work 5 days a week from 9-5, as I'm sure you understand. So I have had to compromise and live with so many different people over the years, some stable, others not so stable...all to be able to get to a point where I could manage to get my own place...which is only now beginning to seem like it's possible to me.
So yeah, it did seem a bit harsh to me that you would call it a crappy boring thing...though maybe it is? I don't feel particularly excited about having my own place anymore. I used to when I was younger, and now I'm just sort of accepting that I have to live with people the rest of my life or until I can get some sort of business going to make enough.
I want to travel all over the world, and that is slowly becoming a reality for me...but I feel like I do need a base to start from. Maybe not a house as such, but somewhere I can come back to when I'm done wandering. Not forever, just in between. I feel like I want to experience this.
I don't want a mortgage, and I've been working on myself for years to train my mind and whatnot...ala LOA to remain open to the universe helping me find a place just for me...as I'm not the sort of person who likes sharehousing...but have had to settle for it due to finances.
I did write down before though an old creative intention of mine, which was to write a script for a play, which made me feel energized, though I have no idea what it will be about. Writing and scriptwriting and painting is pretty much where my passions lie.
I suppose I have been judging my goals.

For example, you asked for an example of an awesome goal for me, which was pretty plainly given in the article.
So for whatever reason, the issue of crappy vs. awesome goals does seem to be a very big deal to you. Your posts suggest you're struggling to come to terms with the fact that your own goals are crappier than you'd like them to be. I figure that's why you're projecting an air of judgment coming from me, which I didn't put into the article. The article was intended to challenge you to make sure your goals are AWESOME for YOU.
You're giving us every indication that your current goals are not awesome, not by my standards but by your own. That's why people are calling you on things you've said that don't add up. This is a pattern I've seen hundreds of times before. It's a good thing because it means you're close to a breakthrough. I know it can feel uncomfortable at first, and it may feel like you're being judged, but you're reaching the point where you're going to raise your standards for yourself soon.
If you have awesome goals, you won't feel judged by me. It's when you don't fully believe your goals are awesome that you'll imagine there's judgment coming from me. |
