Growing a better me
I enjoy the goal setting and visualisation process, sometimes more than working towards my goals. When I am not seeing a great deal of change, but feel the tension growing between where I am and where I want to be. The experience can be disconcerting, but is perfectly natural, in fact, it is necessary. I focus on keeping the picture of where I want to be growing ever stronger, and my behaviour smehow seems to drive me subconciously towards my goals.
One important part of goal setting is the quality of the goals you set. If you are setting goals for enormous financial gain, power, or the run up the corporate ladder, that’s OK – if that’s the end you want. However, the real point of setting these goals, and affirming their achievement, is to unlock those skills and talents that have been lying dormant inside you. All that potential that is inside each of us is wasted if it is ignored, or left unfulfilled, and the world will be a poorer place because of it.
When you honestly work at building a better you, you are positively influencing those around you. You are becoming a better spouse, parent or grandparent; a better brother or sister or child. This influence begins to extend out to your neighborhood and community, to your city or town, and to your nation – and we all begin to build a better world.
Wonderful things can some from this simple, “selfish” act of setting goals. What can you see?
let your life speak when your dreams become reality.
