Ideals

One of my favorite quotes ever, that I re-read again this week:

"Ideals are stars to steer by, not sticks to beat ourselves with."
    - Barbara B. Smith

I feel like I often use my goals to beat up on myself instead of using them as inspiration to reach higher.  Just today, I realized that one of my happiness goals for the year is to learn to bake different kinds of bread, and I haven't even started on that.  Yeah, and 1/6 of the year has already passed!  Ok, time to re-calibrate and realize that I still have plenty of time in 2013 for figuring out what makes me happy and how to find time to do it!
