Thanks for sharing and I appreciate you taking the time to read the post and I hope you continue to give my blog a read. @Ava Semerau: Thanks for stopping by and participating in the discussion. I am a Christian myself and completely agree with you. I believe that all gifts are from God and that we should never hold onto them as if they were more precious than the giver Himself. But I don't think this changes the premise of the post. Whether we are Christians or not, I believe we are always better off making the most of everyday, doing the best we can and pursuing the positive goals we have set before us. @Loring Parks: I completely understand.

Hopefully this doesn't sound like a blatant pitch, but you might be interested in my latest book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=and+god+was+pleased&x=0&y=0" rel="nofollow">And God Was Pleased: Biblical Principles for Creating Christian Success</a>.

I've been burned one too many times by trolls who make it their life mission to make sure my carrots go - er uneaten? lol ok so the analogies start to fall apart, but I'm sure you get my meaning. Great post tho - thanks!

I love it! I have to keep myself on task when I work on my blog so I don't spend all my time tweaking a specific shade of color or blend of pixels, etc... I'm glad you'll be regularly reading. I'll have to keep an eye on your posts as I get back on my bike. @Sandy Naidu: I agree that sharing these things with the wrong person could be a bad thing. But I think you had it at the end; letting the World know can be a great way to stay motivated to meet your goals. @Bryan: Don’t you just love playing around with all the graphics and design and stuff?

It will also give you that 'extra' accountability as well. I do think though that we just need to be careful and only share our goals with our 'supportive' friends and not everyone. However sharing a goal on a blog post works wonders for me...There you go I kind of contradicted myself - about sharing with 'everyone'.
