There are goals that I had set out for myself as an artist. I have accomplished some of them - becoming accepted all over the world - however, other parts of my goals have not been completed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As an artist in the 21st century, my two goals are to make the best work that I can, improve as much as I can, and to distribute that work as far as I can.
If you are not making the progress that you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined.
Even though I am extremely blessed to have accomplished many of my goals at such a young age, I am still reaching, still striving.
Some goals are not going to fulfill you. Choose goals that you value and care about.
My goals for myself have changed as my career has evolved and as I've grown as a writer.
Some goals you just never really think about trying to achieve because they just seem so out of reach.
I've reached most my goals and when my career is over I will have many other things to do.
My goals have changed throughout my life. At one time it was winning awards, selling out concert dates, selling more albums than anyone else. Now, my goals are to see my grandchildren grown, live a long and healthy life with my family and friends and travel the world.
Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you'll be doing when you've reached your goal.
As for goals, I don't set myself those anymore. I'm not one of these 'I must have achieved this and that by next year' kind of writers. I take things as they come and find that patience and persistence tend to win out in the end.
