The Goal Post


The purpose in soccer or football is to make a goal. Every field has a goal post with all players working together to make a score. When that happens there is cheering & high fives. In life it is the same. We all want to succeed, but need help & a team effort to get there. I'm here to challenge you to be on the Schmidt family team.

Many of us set goals every year. Some refuse to, but along the way decide to change something & there you have it, a goal achieved. They say if you write a goal down for others to see, you are more likely to succeed at them.

Why not ‘Do it!’ Just choose a few to work on. Don’t make it a big deal. You never know what can be accomplished. For instance, last year Aaron beat caffeine, Mauri changed jobs, Alicia got Sarah into a preschool, Jory became an intern, Allan learned taxidermy & so on. It is better to move forward in life than to stand still.

For 2009 I will: Work on writing my life history & organize my cupboards. There I did it. Is that so hard? What 2 or more things do you want to change, see happen or just attempt???? I'm taking a goal poll & all those that respond with a goal post gets a treat.

We will try to read our scriptures at least once a week as a family, triple taxidermy work intake, and the constant New Years Resolution EXERCISE!
