Brother T recommends writing what you don't want to happen to remove the negativity that stands in the way of your goals. So then, what are my anti-Goals? Certainly they must have changed as I have matured/gotten older.

I don't want...

~ to not be able to participate in combat because I have let my physical readiness go kaput.

~ to be a bad example of how to live your life

~ to let my myriad of injuries and chronic pain keep me from enjoying life

~ to let my friends down

~ to let myself down

~ to give up before its done

~ to do the same old thing I've always done

~ to fail to appreciate every breath, every ray of sunshine, every drop of rain, every step into the woods

Well, I don't know if that's going to help my goals, but as I write I can feel the heaviness of the negativity o these things. They are my dragons and they must be slain. How shall I slay them? These then must be my goals.

To the slaying of dragons:

~ I shall plan a program for physical training and execute it weekly. It will include cardio and strength training. It will be fun and it will challenge me. This I will complete by Friday.

~ I shall continue this journal, that it may keep me on track, and by the telling of my deeds they might become more than they would be otherwise. This I will do at least three times weekly.

~ I shall meditate and ruminate and postulate and germinate on Three Rules to Live my Life, that I might do it well, & live the way that is right for me. This will have to come in its own time.

and I shall hope that this is enough to slay the dragons.
