We've done it! The joy of goals...

I'm sitting next to a large tower of hot-off-the-press test copies of Will It Make the Boat Go Faster? 
How am I feeling?

Nervous - that I'll spill a cup of tea over them and Ben will kill me, and anxious that when the book is properly printed and launched on 1st June that people won't love it. BUT, in the main, chuffed to bits. 

One of my key learns from writing the book is the huge satisfaction that comes not just from achieving a goal, but also pursuing it. I've always wondered what Ben would have been like if he hadn't got Gold, would he be bitter and twisted and resentful? (I'll ask him and post his reply), but my experience from writing the book is that I would have been even more bitter and twisted if I hadn't tried.

This isn't becuase I'm a addicted to following goals for the sake of goals, it's mainly becuase the goal was very aligned with my values and interests. When have you felt 'in the zone', 'firing on all cylinders'? I wonder what values and skills were showing up then and I wonder what goal would help you to feel like that more often?...

Right...off to move that dangerously placed cup of tea
