Goose Your Goal!

I have a (big) goal, and some smaller goals I need to achieve in order to reach the bigger one.

Like most people, I work toward these goals as much as I can and get discouraged when they aren't reached as fast as I would have hoped.

However. I realized something late Friday night, when I was pondering the weeks and months ahead:

When I look right at my goal and head straight for it, it gets panicked and runs away. It sees me coming.

I'm going to sneak around the side this time, come up on it when it's not paying attention, and grab it by the backside so it can't get away!

We'll see if goosing my goal works better than trying to run headlong toward it.

Anyone else want to sneak around the side and goose their own goals on this cheery Monday morning?
