I like this. I don't think changing your goals and intentions is being too lenient on yourself. Life changes constantly, the flow of time never stops. There are certain things that we can control, but a lot of things we also can't, so we adapt. I think changing is good; we're always growing and trying to better ourselves and sometimes we just see that what we thought we need maybe isn't what we actually need and we find a new way to get to what we do need.
