INFP Goals

First and foremost, I want to survive the class schedule and prove to everyone else that it is NOT impossible.

My goals last year were honestly to just to LIVE and deal with all the social shit going on in my life. People can be so stupid in high school.

What are you striving to achieve in your life right now?

I want a great life. I currently have a good life, but I want to get to "the next level" whatever that may be. I've been reading a ton of books outside the traditional self-help genre, like Good To Great (business book), E-Myth Revisited (business book), Outliers (explains why the Beatles and Bill Gates success was due more to luck than talent and how success happens). All of which is I'm finally absorbing in order to figure out how to apply the concepts to personal development. I need to find a different approach that works for my personality and temperament since:

1. I get bored after 4 years and then change focus to my next "passion". Which means I never get great at anything.
2. I want growth to be more organic and less focused on goal completion.

What was it you wanted to achieve 6 months/1 year ago? Did you achieve that?

1. In May I decided I wanted to lose 26 lbs in order to do a 3-day bike race with my sister next year. I'm down 16lbs to 150. I hope to be down to 140 in a month or two. Losing weight isn't really the goal. The goal is do the 3 -day ride with my sister next year. It will be a great bonding experience.

2. Get closer to financial freedom. That's such a vague goal. But my goal since I read CashFlow Quadrant in 2000 was to move away from earned income (ie job or self-employment). We sold one of our property that I held onto way too long (emotional attachment is the downfall to INFPs investing) and then refinanced our current home. That improved our monthly cashflow by $500/month. It's a tiny step closer, but a step nonetheless.

3. I wanted to double my traffic on my INFP Blog. In January, I got 656 Unique Visitors and 2800 Pageviews. In August, I'm at 1559 Unique Visitors and 6800 PageViews.


And how do I feel about accomplishing those goals. Meh. Which is the entire problem. I really wanted to do those things when I set the goals. But then I just kind of grow bored of the goals and by the time I get them done, it's like "now what?"

So that's where the " striving to achieve" question comes in. I'm pretty annoyed with my cycle of set goal, grow bored with goal, accomplish goal and try to figure out why I even bothered.
