"Does not all our work always remain incomplete? What the verse means to communicate is: rest on the Sabbath as if all your work were done." Abraham Joshua Heschel

Sabbath was (and is) a time to cease all activity in which one was gainfuly employed and simply acknowledge the goodness of creation and life...It is an opportunty to affim and enjoy what is....A time to enjoy God...

The basic premise behind the Concrete Goal Tracker goal setting methodology is this:
1. Identify your goals, whatever they are.
2. Create the things that are directly related to achieving your goal.
3. Take the things you created and use them in the actual world. That's what really counts!
4. If you do this continuously, you can't help but make progress.

...Step 3: Now that I've created these things, it's not enough to just let them rot on my hard drive. I need to use them in the world. That could mean showing them to a friend, posting them on my website, or doing the design for a client. I need to get off my butt and make an effort to show the world what I'm doing. Only then, will the world respond. And that's how we know things are changing.
