Have you ever set out to accomplish something only to find yourself wondering if you are even going in the right directions? Or are you like your kids? Am I there yet? Some people say “Success is a state of mind.” Is it? What is a state of mind really?

I read a blog lately regarding journals and how important they are. You can find it at http://www.attractingyourgoal.com. It was a good article. I mentioned that I have six journals. Some people have asked why so many? The reason why, I thought might make a good article.

Goals are not a destination. Is anything really in this life a destination? You’re probably wondering what is this woman talking about. Let me give you an example. Can you touch a rainbow? If you saw one, can you go over and touch it? If you are sailing or driving towards the horizon, can you reach it? Can you touch the horizon?

We know that we can’t touch a rainbow or the horizon. With each step we take towards it, the horizon especially moves away from us. Our goal and successful can work the same way. If you want to see your successes, then you must look stop and look backwards. You need to look back and see what you have accomplished. Journals help you do that very thing. They build self-love and worth.

I keep six journals that cover different aspects of my life. So I can go back see my growths and changes. We are always evolving even if we chose to hibernate and hide from the world. If nothing else, we are getting older and we can’t stop it.

The greatest secret of a journal, it builds self-love and worth. If you keep one, you’ll learn to appreciate you. It helps to go back and see the growth. How you got through a dark or a joyous time. What you learned? You can see how it changed you. Journals give you an opportunity to express yourself and guess what? Someone is truly listening. In the process, you might find yourself and learn how wonderful and unique you truly are. Have fun with your journal!
