Good to set goals

You know those deals you make with yourself? Not even deals really cause they are out of your control, they are meaningless -- like horoscopes or fortune tellers -- in fact even more meaningless.  Here's an example: You are riding your bike and coming up to a light, you see the countdown on the walk signal and say to yourself 'If I can make this light, then that person I want will call me' (or text, or fb message or email or maybe comment on your status). Now, this is just an example remember. You usually know you can meet this goal or otherwise, you would not tell yourself this. Now, if you fail somehow you can blame your lonely nights -- watching reruns and eating chocolate -- on the traffic, or a bumpy road, it has nothing to do with you. And again, this is just an example.
