I do indeed have goals, but have found I am now in a third phase of my life where my goals are not as obvious as they used to be. Why is that? That of course is rhetorical question. When I was 21, I decided to join the Marine Corps, get married, complete a tour of duty, and get a job in the civilian sector. I had just about reached my 10 year plan goals - and understood the various steps on how to get there. Now I have a whole new mess of competing interests as well as the ability to sit back and enjoy some of the fruits of my labor. My goals are not as clear as they once were, and I think it is because I do not circle my wagons as often as I once did. Sure I'm driven, and get a lot of "stuff" done. But is it in support of my goals? Good post, and thank you for sharing your observations. Very good thoughts.
