Fail to Plan and Plan to Fail

I was looking at things today I had written in the past and I came across a sentence which I must confess made me ask myself “did I write that?”
The gist of it was “I re-order my life to accommodate my focus.”  Those words were true when I wrote them and are still true today.  And what I maintain is, it is never too late to start.  Starting matters more then when I start.
I like to ponder deep and meaningful things but if I am honest with myself this day of the week is the one where it is most likely to happen.  Today I have been reconsidering “what do I really want?”  As is so often said “the world is your oyster.”  Though I do maintain that age lessens the possibilities, they are still incredibly numerous.  To me, it is impossible to run out of worthwhile things to do.
I try to maintain things to do that align with my focus.  Things that help me get to where I am going.  Sometimes that means making commitments.  One part of me says I could do without them.  But I know myself.  Without commitments I am so inclined to lethargy and drifting.  Although sometimes I feel I could do without them, I know they are good for me.
I don’t want to be one that regrets not having done something.  It matters less to me that I give it a go and fail, rather than not giving it a go at all.  I remember someone saying life is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration.  My goals need to remain front and centre or for sure I will be one that has goal related regrets down the track.
My goals and desires need to be good ones.  I read an inspirational book and the guy wrote another book saying the goals needed to be good ones.  He decided he needed to make that clear when he heard about someone who had been inspired by his book to break out of a physical prison.
I need to decide what the best goal I can pursue is.  Once decided upon it seems everything needs to be secondary to that.  My goals involve people.  People form a big part of what I aspire to.  I have heaps of goals, but one is my primary goal and everything else is secondary.  Everything I give 100% to, but they are all subservient to the primary goal.  It seems to me everyone has legitimate goals many of which differ to mine, but every one needs a primary goal.
I know I need to be careful I am not distracted.  There seems to be so much vying for my attention at the moment.  And I need to be careful that just because something is legitimate that I do not fall into the trap of thinking it is therefore my responsibly to pursue it.
I reckon my responsibility is pursue what is legitimate for me.  That is a live and learn thing.  I may not always get it right, but I am working on it.
