Change is Not Easily Measured

Change is subjective unless you have an objective that can be measured. For example, if I make a goal to lose 10 lbs I can measure that change objectively by stepping on a scale and measuring progress based on a number. However, if I desire to have better self-esteem about my weight that is subjective and cannot be as easily measured in time and space.

We often want to change based on a objective, weight lose is visible. Rarely do we desire to do the hard work that cannot be as easily seen, subjective. Or should I say we desire to change, but often times we are confused by defining subjective change.

So how do we measure subjective change? 

Can we measure change by a list of goals? Sure. I have my 2010 goals on my night stand right now.

If it is simply a list of goals, do we miss the overarching narrative of the story we are living and creating?

To some degree, if we are striving towards objectives that are easily measured the subjective nature of our inner being will slowly change, right?

Not sure, but what are your thoughts on change? Subjective and Objective change how do you measure it?
