A multi-layered Goal

When I was a baby I suppose my goal was to learn how to talk , I don’t remember actually having a goal to achieve it , I think it just happened. Does that count? It really was a momentous achievement for me.

The closest thing to feeling that way today personally ,is learning a new language and the goal is for me to become multi-lingual.

I’m working on it .

It’s a amazing feeling, mastering the element of language and honestly a real benefit to my mental health.

It’s something for me and it’s something that over time throws challenges of understanding and memorising that are multi-layered as well as well actually being quite straight forward(life is not always so complicated, sometimes we just need to ask a stranger the time, or how to find the museum).

Simple phrases have the benefit of making me feel connected to a bigger world; recognising, being polite and kind to each other is a part of language that we can all relate to and do more of.

” Hello, how are you? “

Or the commonality of saying.

“The traffic is very busy”

It helps me think like a child again, and stops me obsessing about things, that actually we all face, and just have to be deal with. It takes me back to a time when I didn’t even know what a goal was.

This goal truly is a Eureka moment for me and also is something I will have with me for the rest of my life

It ‘s a very tough goal , but also the most rewarding.

Namaste
