Taking Time to Reflect: What’s Your Goal?

Today’s Reflection,

Saturday, at my part-time job, I had a conversation with a client in the waiting area. She was telling me about a dance class she had recently started. Despite having taken other dance classes before and catching on quickly, this particular one had her stumped.

Although I didn’t know her well, I found myself reassuring her. “You’re probably doing better than you think,” I said, encouraging her to keep going. We continued talking, and at one point, she asked if I worked there every day. I explained that it was just a part-time job, and, through the natural flow of our conversation, I shared that I had graduated last year, started a blog, and was working toward launching a side hustle.

Then she asked me something that caught me off guard. “What’s the goal?”

I must have looked confused because she repeated the question. Still unsure, I asked for clarification. She then said, “What are you trying to obtain by working two jobs and starting this side hustle?”

So, I told her.

And in that moment, it all clicked. My plans, my efforts—everything I’m working toward—is driven by the choices I’m making. Deep down, I already knew this, but saying it out loud, hearing myself articulate it, brought everything into perspective.

So, let me ask you—what’s your goal? Are you making moves in your life with intention?
