Halfway Point

As of today, we have reached the halfway point of 2021.

You are either excited or exhausted after reading that opening line. I will let your emotions decide. But it is day 183 of 2021 and it marks the beginning of Q3. Last year I wrote about Day 220 while we were in the middle of COVID. But this year I’m giving you more time to pump that motivation motor inside of you.

As an encourager, I have these words for you:

“Go back & check your goals for this year. Put a plan in place to fulfill at least one plan by year end. You can do it! I believe in you!”

And as a goal oriented person, I like to measure where I stand against myself. The true nerd in me has a goal tracker spreadsheet and I keep track of percentages based on completion rates I set. And of course I have categories to bucket all of my goals. But please do not be intimidated by my overly excessive engineer brain (YES! I have taken SMART goals to the extreme). 

Now you may have goals sitting deep within your heart or you may have written them down in your journal. However you have made note of your goal or goals, I challenge you to make it your mission to see it initiated or fulfilled by the end of 2021. 

Dust off the cobwebs of 2020 & early 2021. 

Employers are hiring. 

The digital market is booming. 

People are safe again.

Connect with a friend and ask them to hold you accountable in a goal area. 

Your goal(s) do not have to be elaborate and grand at all. It can be…

to read a chapter a month, 

to call your mom every week, 

to learn how to trade stocks, 

to save for a personal development course, 

to commit to writing a stage play, 

to consistently support a charity, 

to volunteer in your local community, 

or WHATEVER your goal is.

Last year the entire world did not know how we were going to make it through, but as Nelson Mandela once stated, “It always seems impossible until it’s done.”

So tell me! What goals would you like to reach by year end?
