Words of Wisdom

I want to share these words of wisdom someone shared with me, and they seem to be something that others are gaining from as well:

"The difference between a dream and a goal is a deadline."

He said put little stickies on your wall for each week, and put down what your goal is for that week, to make your dreams and aspirations start moving somewhere. (Gerry learnt this from DA)

Of course we can only make goals for ourselves, and our choices of action, not someone else's...like a parent can't make a goal to have their child start being conscientious about doing their homework, they can instead make a goal for starting to set limits or to educate the child, but they can't ultimately make the choice to change. (this last part was seen on something written by Dr. Phil.) :)

May we all come closer to our goals, on this fast day. May we all be drawn towards teshuvah (return) to closeness with our Creator.
