Revising Goals

Over a month ago I posted about trusting God's plans, especially in light of starting college. I think it's time for an update. So far, things have been going really well. Of course, juggling high school and college work has taken some getting used to, but my parents have given me much-needed advice and correction along the way. On the first day, I didn't go to the wrong classroom, but I did fall up the stairs. Yes, you read that right. Up the stairs. I have some strange skills, apparently. Thankfully, nobody saw me! 

One thing I have learned in the past month is that every decision you make to do something is a decision to not do other things. And so, I have decided to not complete the reading challenge. I knew when I started the challenge that I might not finish it. At this point, I think I would lose more than I would gain by trying to finish. I started it with two goals in mind: to read more, and to read more widely. I have read over 48 books this year, many of which I would not have read on my own, so I will count this a success. I would rather try and fail than not even attempt a difficult goal. 

What do you think are some good reasons to change a goal? How can we know when  to push on, or when to reevaluate? I'd love to hear from you in the comments!

Glad your classes are going well! Wait, up?? Talk about skills! And I fell down a flight of steps in front of half my family once, so... yeah. At least no one saw you! :)
I think it's good you know your limits, and you're okay with making your own definition of success.

Thanks for the encouragement, Hanna! And as a side note... I'm glad someone appreciates my anti-gravity skills. :D
