Insatiable Hunger

I'm always craving more from life, not necessarily for my stomach. Not because I'm in a constant state of need or want, but because I enjoy the challenge of setting a goal for myself;  facing the obstacles, putting forth the effort, and the sheer will it takes to accomplish one. Whether it be a small feat for a day, or a long term goal that takes some serious dedication and focus to work toward. 

I'm not sure when setting goals became something so essential in my life; perhaps it was something instilled in me. It gives me a sense of purpose, a path to follow, if even just a jump to a new stepping stone across the pond. 

There's something refreshing about the new view it reveals and brushing your hands together to step back and look at the progress you've made. Sometimes, it's kind of like a drawn out game of checkers;w hen you only have one king left that you just keep moving back and forth between two spots. But sometimes, it's just creating that initial motion, and rebuilding a sense of self worth and accomplishment, that's enough to get some real momentum going. 


Just enough that when the dust does settle, you're not surprised at what is revealed.
