Hope you enjoy and consider subscribing. It's true, there is definitely a difference between a goal and resolution. My main point is just to make sure they are actually taking you towards the life you really want. Cameron @Steve,

I think that there's an important distinction between a goal and a resolution. I can set a goal of losing 10lbs, and then it's done, by whatever means. Or I can resolve to eat healthily, and that happens each and every day. Of course, being a human being, I fail all the time, and that's another difference. If I get on the scales and I've gained 2lbs, it's easy for me to say I'll never reach my goal and give up, but if I have made a resolution to eat healthily and I eat a Big Mac and fries, then I just have to get back on track and keep going.

That is the first description that I've heard that makes priorities so vividly clear! You are on to something with this! (This is yet another reason why we are naming our son after you...) =) I love that bit about finding out where you are irreplaceable.

I believe that goals are set to keep us directed in our lives. These are the things that we want to attain to gain personal satisfaction and happiness. Working for the our goals are just right. For these goals will keep us motivated and determined to succeed. However we should know which goal to prioritize. Work for what will make us truly happy. We should remember that the standards that we set for ourselves can somehow make us "unhappy" in the end. So we must learn to determine which goal should we start working at and goals to set aside.
