So when does a goal become an obsession One man’s goal is another man’s obsession.
Here’s a video of Rich Simpson’s “obsession” with Action Directe 9a. Rich shows amazing focus, determination, drive, etc. to get his goal. Great stuff!
When I started here at SP my obsessed-goal was to day hike all the CA 14ers. That took me ~2 years to complete (2005-2007). I know this is several orders of magnitude below Rich Simpson’s “obsession”, but still I remember pouring over maps, Secor’s book, SP trip reports, etc. and I was pretty obsessed about my goal.
My current obsessed-goal is to lead several different 5.11 routes. I know, I know; don’t chase the grade. But I don’t care, I *want* to get these done. Gotta have them goals…….or obsessions
What’s your obsessed-goal
