Goal Setting — an exercise by a Faust

 

Goal Setting

An exercise by a Faust

Setting up benchmarks, measuring well,

judging effects in the light of their causes:

From details in records you'll easily tell,

reviewing events, successes from pauses.

Keep up with it daily, keep time like the sky

to regularly assess how steady your state;

In thornier patches change the 'how' for a 'why,'

& always remember to forget to berate.

That last you may find hardest, & by you I here mean me,

taught as I was by fear of rod, & shame, & guilt,

but once our Spirit gets but just a taste of living truly free

the whole of Law may not impossibly fit into what thou wilt.

Accounting makes for trust when you’re the one investing

So keeping record makes for faith surviving any testing
