Enjoy the view from the top of the mountain. Gaze across the vista knowing you have achieved your goals and dreams. The climb, like childbirth, is worth every minute of the struggle when you inhale the sweet scent of achievement and hold the result in your heart.
Entire sections of libraries are dedicated to goal setting. 99% of Americans make a New Years resolution and break it by January 30 or even January 3. Some may hold on until February or March. Check the “for sale” columns and e-Bay for all the weight equipment advertised for sale in February and March. All of the “highly enthused” purchasers of a home gym at Christmas have given up in 2 or 3 months. Why? You write down what you think you should do instead of what you passionately commit to do.
Do you even know your most profound passionate desires? Have you buried them so deeply in your subconscious that it requires a jackhammer to extract them?
In order to determine the best idea for you, drill down into your soul to discover your passion.
Determine what it is that makes your blood boil with passion. What is so important to you that you are willing to stand up to your mother-in-law and declare it? Well, maybe that’s unrealistic, but be willing to use it as an example for your kids. What do you want to leave as part of your legacy?
Every choice you make either takes you closer to your goals or further away. How can you answer that thought and direct your efforts unless you are crystal clear on your target?
Why do you even bother setting goals? Why invest the time and effort? Flying by the seat of your pants is similar to a child “doing what feels good at the moment” rather than a mature adult carefully executing a well organized game plan.
Why don’t more people set goals? Some, myself included, grew up without ever hearing about goals until we left home. Other people fear criticism from friends, family or co-workers. It is easier for most people to drag the Joneses down to their level than try to reach up to the Jones higher standard.
People frequently fear success even more than failure. Failure is more familiar. Success means they will have to change their associations, maybe even where they live or the social memberships they currently enjoy. It is not goal setting some fear as much as goal achieving.
As for tomorrow…..Day 6 – “Specific Exercise to Determine Your Passionate Goals”
