Yesterday, I hit 4,000 miles on my motorcycle.
Hitting that mileage was a big deal for me. The number isn’t arbitrary, but rather signifies a rider’s transition from beginner to intermediate. And it was part of my Five Things to Achieve in 2011 post last year.
Culminated with what I learned as outlined in my Shipping post, it appears an outline to achieving goals is pretty simple:
- Envision a goal.
- Work through a process to achieve that goal.
- Achieve the goal.
The trick is, that second step is the hard one. Riding 4,000 on a motorcycle in Kansas? You’re going to deal with seasons that change like a teenager’s moods. There was a lot of  butt-in-seat time to make that happen. And it was totally worth it.
But there’s three months left to go of this year, and I still have about 50 percent of my list left to go.
Here’s to process!
I am nearing 400 miles on my bicycle, commuting. Talk to me again in 3 more years. I should be an intermediate by then. 🙂
