Targets

You must do the things you think you cannot do.

― Eleanor Roosevelt

The usual sources don’t turn up any known etymology for the word “goal”. Etymonline.com presumes it is most likely related to the Old English *gol, *gal, or gælan, meaning obstacle, barrier, or hindrance. Goals carry some inherently bad mojo. But a “target” is a different matter. Targets are designed to be hit. They derive from the Old French “targe”, literally meaning “light shield”. It is not enough to set goals. We define targets, carry them in our consciousness always, and never miss our mark.
