If you had told me one year ago when my life was perfect that I would be divorced, become a single mother and have to start dating again, I would’ve re-thought the whole thing.
Even if I saw it coming, I found myself unprepared for the sudden impact of my divorce. Getting a divorce can feel a lot like having a giant wrecking ball slammed into my life. Things that I took for granted yesterday no longer apply to my life today. Everything is changing at a rapid pace. Many of my dreams and plans for the future, as well as my day-to-day existence, suddenly became unrecognizable bits and pieces. Things became stressful for me and I gained a lot more responsibilities. Not only was stress involved but also being divorced created a financial problem for me.

Goals give you a purpose in life, things to work for and achieve. Goals can make you feel independent and provide a sense of structure and direction to life. Having goals can give you something to strive for. By having something to strive for the feeling of accomplishment and having someone to share it with is a good feeling.
