Remember Your True Goals

My bell pepper plants
are being decimated
by slugs.

When this started happening,
I almost sprayed
the plants
with poison.
This would have killed
the slugs.

Which would have
also killed
one of my true goals
for the garden
– to provide ‘food’
for insects
and other tiny wildlife
…like slugs.

Sometimes we get so focused
on intermediate goals
we lose sight
of our true end goal.

We focus
so much,
for example,
on going viral
on social media
that we post things
that wouldn’t interest
or,
worse,
upset
prospects
for our products.

Review your true goals
regularly.
Ensure your actions
move you
closer to achieving them.
