missed lecture : Goals

I came home to Bonney Lake, Washington early and was not able to make it to the lecture on Monday, which is lame because I think I could have really benefited from this lesson. I remember in middle school we would always set and plan goals we wanted to achieve. I thought these goal plans were pretty useless because I always had the same goal, do better in math, and I was not really passionate about achieving that goals, so I never succeeded  as much as I had wanted to. Now that I graduated high school, I have begun to make decisions that will impact the rest of my life. The first being to attend Brigham Young University, which is the best decision I have made in my life thus far. Now I need to start setting goals in order to receive a degree in whatever I specifically decide to major in, and eventually what career I wish to pursue. Without knowing what I want to do, its hard to have a plan in achieving a goal, with no goal in sight yet. I guess that it what I will have to work on first, then set goals which will allow me to achieve my final goal. What is most important in goal setting, in my opinion, is passion. Without passion, all is lost. Without passion there is not lust to achieve, no drive, and no determination. Without passion there is no success, for if you set a goal that you don't really care about, you will not achieve that goal, for why would you work hard at something that you don't really want?

I can use goal setting in my leadership role in BYUSA by setting a manageable schedule with daily task that I need to do, in order to achieve the final goal of putting on Freeze Fest, and bringing the BYU student body together to let off some steam, meet new people, and enjoy the festivities of the season. I need to have passion in my work, and really put in my all in order to have the successful event I wish to have.
