watched the conclusion to the Men’s Decathlon tonight, and I guess what I heard them saying tonight is that he gets the unofficial title of the world’s Greatest athlete. What if I decided tonight that I was going to compete in that event next Olympics and my goal was to win the gold medal. Upon hearing of my decision you would probably make disparaging remarks about my sanity. But pretending that I have made that an official goal of mine, a BHAG of the BHAG’s, (big hairy audacious goal) what would I do in the morning? The size of that goal would control most of my thinking, my time, even my money. Most people never set a goal so big that it controls most of who they are and what they will become. I always set at least one like that, i’s crazy, impractical, but so much fun. August 27th is the official starting date of writing my goals for the next year and October 27th is the official day I start after my new goals ( my birthday). The two months that I spend writing my goals are a lot of fun as I imagine, and think about what the desires of my heart are.

Efforts toward a supreme goals are most often launched after having reached a long progressive series of other high goals. For example we reach the goal of completing each grade in elementary school, then eventually go to High Schools and are awarded a High School Diploma. Next attend College with the goal of earning a Bachelor’s degree. After reaching the goal of College graduation, we might set the goal of a Masters, then later perhaps a Doctorate. So we progress in our goals line upon line and precept upon precept.
