Lies – A micro story

‘So what is your dreams’, the boy asked her. She thought for a while, looked at him deep into his eyes wondering whether she should tell the truth or the lie. A deep breath and ‘ I want to die’ said she. He was transfixed, could not move, did not understand. It seemed the wind was blowing her hair for no reason, felt that such a beauty of hers is wasted. He felt the smell of hers deep down in his throat, his mind screaming the question ‘WHY?’, but he was not wanting to ask it. Strange, why, why had he become such a hard cold being, though such beauty existed, physically, in their friendship, in their love??

a while passed till he brought his thoughts back to where they were, standing in the middle of the road, waiting to cross to the other side, waiting for life to go green. It did finally turn green, both of them stepped down, and a big red bus swerved and hit him, leaving his body mangled under it’s enormous tires.

She broke down looking at him, and she screaming, ‘ I was lying, I was Lying’

Goals

What kind of Goals do we have? Sometimes I wonder if we are not disciplined enough to put down a goal and try to reach it. It is going to be like walking in a misty morning on an unknown path, groping and hoping we are going in the right direction.

So what are goals? I mean not the dictionary definition, but more what do we feel what goals are? In my view goals are desires, are dreams, are wants that pull us every step further to reaching it.
Types of Goals? Well we could classify them into Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Professional, Creative and Social.

Some examples from my goal list are
Spiritual

•  Learn to meditate and calm myself, be more disciplined in doing so.
• Cut down on wants and needs as I travel along the path of life.

Physical

• Run the half marathon
• 100 burpees
• Yoga

Intellectual

• Meet people from other areas of life
• Read more

Emotional

• Spend more time with my daughter and wife

Professional

• Make a revenue line product for my company
• Get more customers onboard
• Build a superpower team

Creative

• Paint a painting(one of the toughest)
• Build more Lego models
• Practice more calligraphy and juggling

Social

• Give back more than what I get to animals/trees/humans.
• Generate business out of non-profit activities for people to sustain the eco-business growth
• Generate business models for the lower income groups, which will sustain them

So this is my list, what is yours do share. Also I seek advice from people who have already been sucessful in doing things on this list, please help.
