Weekly sharing of Goals! Week #21 2024 (Monday 05/20/24 - Sunday 05/26/24)
I welcome anyone to commit to a goal here today.
But importantly, talk about getting it done..... or why it didn't happen yet.
To praise each other for our efforts and wins.
While supporting each other through trials and setbacks.
And to continue trying and not give up.
Remember:
Every Goal should be considered "Worthy".
Never belittle your achievements and be proud of yourself for your daily accomplishments!
Whether they be Complex or Simple.
Getting out of bed is a good day..... Good job I say!
Share your goals today, for support and encouragement.

@IsayUncle haaaaaappppyyyy mondayyyy uncle and everyone ❤❤❤ suggested topics🤔🤔 perhaps a challenge.. This week do something spontaneous, or do something new!
@Tinywhisper11 ok so I did my spontaneous thing for this week... I tried😮😮😮 cheesecake😱 it was disgusting, but at least it didn't taste of cheese😝😝😝😝😝
@IsayUncle so my carer has a daughter who is about to turn 19 and she gave me this huge form board, and a list of cartoons her daughter here up with. So today I made a start at drawing characters and painting them from the list of cartoons she gave me😁 it's was lots of fun. But it's so hot here, ice had to stop for today ❤ how's your Monday going??
@Tinywhisper11 huge cork* board.
@Tinywhisper11 grew* up with
Don't worry I can spell😁
@Tinywhisper11
You are such an amazing artist. Just looking at some of your pictures fills my heart with feelings. Your art touches me deeply. I would love to see a picture of that corkboard after you got a bunch of pictures posted to it as your projects progress. That would be cool.
Your carer's daughter will be getting a real prize. You are so awesome. 💕
Your suggestion this week about doing something spontaneous or something new was a great subject matter. Sorry I didn't have time to come back and talk more about that but the week's not over yet and that would be great to hear about some spontaneous stuff.
I don't really have any goals for this week. I got my last assignment done and I need to see what my next course will be. Have to get caught up at work which isn't exactly a goal, it's something that has to be done.
Um, I'd like to say not wake up tired but when a pet jumps up on you at midnight and your alarm is set for 3:45, that's hard to achieve...
@Enthenia
Congratulations on finishing up your 4th assignment. That is so very cool. struggle through you third assignment and but you got that done now you're done with your 4th. That is so freaking awesome. You deserve to take a little bit of a break.
Even with your work obligations and getting caught up there, plus dealing with attention hungry dog 3:45 AM, perhaps you can still find some time to relax instead of working on school projects.
You've been doing great and maybe you should take @Tinywhisper11 suggestion and do something spontaneous this week. 🤪😁😲🤣

@IsayUncle I'm not really a spontaneous person though.
@Enthenia
That's OK. That just means you have to "PLAN" a spontaneous activity. 😁 LOL. (just kidding)
Sometimes staying focused on something that's very important does not leave any room for spontaneity and that's perfectly fine because staying on track is what's important at the moment.
Just remember to rest body and mind as time allows.
@Enthenia I'm really proud of you ❤❤ completing your 4th finals ❤ you did awsome ❤
@Tinywhisper11 4 th assignment*
@Tinywhisper11 thanks! The next class is going to be hard. Nine assignments. Most classes have just 5.
@Enthenia wow! Ok just take it one assignment at a time. Don't get stressed about the bigger picture ❤❤ can I ask what your studying??
@Tinywhisper11 I thinks it's called Software Architecture and User Experience. I looked at the introduction yesterday. I have to pick a company, find an aspect of it that needs to be improved like products on an online website or chatting options on a forum. I have to get demographics and a lot of other things. The preface I guess was quite involved and I really don't know where to start.
@Enthenia wow! That sounds complicated. You must be so brainy ❤
@Tinywhisper11 I don't know about brainy but the instructions are worded very academically. I think it'll be a little like the project management class I took. That didn't make sense at first either but I got through it and passed. I don't really know how though...
@Enthenia well I think your very clever ❤❤
@Tinywhisper11 thanks!
Hi Everyone, I'm kinda late, back to the party but Happy Thursday and I hope things have been going well. The good news for me is that I'm getting lots of jobs lined up and it's keeping me very busy.
(I posted the following sentiments on a different thread but wanted to share it with you all here.)
I'm having a horrible time trying to figure out how to forgive. I've had an issue for about 2 1/2 - three years now and have chosen not to address it until recently.
I knew restructuring my life environment did not leave room to address the issue properly so I was waiting until I got my feet planted on the ground solid. I figured it would take about a year but it took a little bit longer than that. I tried approaching the issue the other day and got a passive and neutral response with a negative air leaving no approach for healing.
I have several interconnected and colliding emotions leaving me very confused and unsure about myself and how to approach this.
Almost all the negative energy that was placed on my shoulders could easily be perceived as to be my fault but I feel like that is so far from the truth. The ability for people to lie in a sociable manner with strong convincing powers, corrupts the truth as I see it.
Trying to share my version comes out as weak, annoying, cowardice etc..... Leaving no one, that I've trusted in the past to talk to.
I would like to forgive. I don't know if you can forgive somebody that don't think they did anything wrong or wont admit it. That's the edge of the iceberg as I approach the subject of forgiveness. I can forgive myself and choose to isolate myself from the problem but that's not what I wanna do. I want to forgive and they also want to be forgiven But it can't just be one or the other right now.
Over these past few years I asked myself, "why do I wanna go through the trouble of approaching forgiveness?" and I came up with a significant answer.
Answer: I cannot do anything good or beneficial for all involved with this cloud hanging over my entire family environment. I've always wanted to be an asset to those that I care about.
Balancing my ego with the truths is proving to be very difficult.
If anyone is interested in walking with me through this journey, I would be very glad to come back to this thread and add more to the story for context, reality and hopefully possible resolution. That would be nice. That is one of my goals for this year.

@IsayUncle In this next week I WILL NOT MASTRUBATE FOR AT LEAST 3 DAYS
@optimisticZebra9752
Alrighty then, If that's what you need to do you make sure you do it.
I see that you are a teenager. Do you consider yourself sexually dysfunctional and, if you think you are have you spoken to anyone about it? There is so much crazy stuff going on at your age so I hope you're probably OK.
@IsayUncle yo bro I did it I completed 3 days and now on 4th
@IsayUncle I been doing good bro just needa focus up and quit this
@optimisticZebra9752
Cool man, stay focused.... Ur alright, you got it.
@IsayUncle yo bro i got to 5 days but messed up on the 6th needa focus up tmmrw how you being doing man
@optimisticZebra9752
It sounds like you did really well. I'm not familiar with any form of sexual addiction but I am familiar with addictions and hardships.
Your first entry said you wanted to go 3 days and you went five days. You should feel good about that, right?
You probably felt pretty good about it and thought you could go on and on but that's not how addictions work. It's baby steps. It's not about stopping your addiction, it's about living without your addiction. That's a big difference.
So, I think you did really well and now, you have reset your guidelines to do it again. That's good. Is it going to be 3 days again?
@IsayUncle, Sorry I dont check this often, its been a really long time happy new year i guess. I am still addicted and this addiction has been worsening, I think I am (on the edge of) having ED. What did you mean living without my addiction? And how can I do it?
@optimisticZebra9752
I'm sorry to hear you feel like your addiction is worsening in addition to the fear of possible ED. But it's still good, you're here asking questions and trying to work your way through it.
Stopping an addiction versus Living without an addiction.
The best way that I can explain the difference is with a metaphor. AND NO... it is not an easy concept. 😥.
For some reason you choose not to use your left arm no more. You keep it taped to your chest and you learn how to go through your day without ever using your left arm. That would be hard to do and you can do it. That would be considered, "stopping" the use of your left arm.
If for some reason you lost your left arm in an accident or something, then that would be considered, "living" without your left arm.
Consider all the hardships without the use of your left arm.
Now, consider all the hardships of your addiction.
Ask yourself, do you wanna try to stop your addiction? Or do you wanna live without it. Do you want to live without your addiction?
If the answer is yes, then the first step is to continue working on stopping your addiction until you learn how to function through the daily hours without giving into it. After you do that for a very very long time, you may start to appreciate living without your addiction.
Start practicing living without your addiction... just try .... little bits, you can do it.
