Made To Move (my goals for 2007)


I just came from the Made to Move training promo of Pilipinas Shell. The first training activity consisted of us stating our goals for the station and ourselves. As expected most of the stated goals for the stations were increase in profits. But what this blog is really all about is the stated personal goals the dealers and team leaders had.
I am no saint and to tell the truth I leave the church every Sunday feeling depressed than blessed. I don't know if its a matter of attitude or lifestyle. I feel rebuked because there is a lot about me to be rebuked.... But that is straying from the subject. What really made me write this blog is my surprised and honestly my "embarrassment" at my stated personal goal.
As my personal goal I stated that I wanted to incorporate God more in every aspect of my life. Whether it be in my relationships, in business and in life in general. I guess it was too personal of a goal for me to have said... considering that the stated goals of my colleagues were shopping in Hong Kong and Singapore, getting new cars, living life luxuriously, getting richer, and worse... no goals at all. I was, in all honesty, embarrassed but appalled at the same time.
I was embarrassed because I felt that I had opened myself to people I were not close to, and because I felt different. I was appalled because people seemed to have their spiritual lives at the bottom of their goals. Should I feel any consolation knowing that my spirituality is the same as every other guy in the street? Does my church family go through the same struggles that I do, or am I just made of a weaker material? Are we really too preoccupied with getting richer that we have forgotten to incorporate God in our lives?
