Arrows and Blogging?

Something has been gnawing at the back of my mind.  I couldn't figure it out.  I knew it was something I didn't do.  What was it?

I went through the week and then the weekend thinking it would pop into my mind.  Nothing came to me then this morning I was reading a few blogs and it hit me:  I didn't blog last week.  At that moment this morning, I knew that I had created a habit.  Habits become second nature and sure there are times you forget or consciously decide not to do something.  But it is a habit.

I am trying to form more habits in my life that make me more fulfilled and get rid of habits that are not good for me.  Both can be very difficult as they each present their own challenges.

For me blogging has become, what I like to think of as my guidance system for my arrow.  When you shoot an arrow it travels forward of you but not necessarily at your target.  Blogging is the minor course corrections that directs the arrow at the target.  With enough blogging and writing about my goals, my arrow will hit its target.
