Sometimes, we just don't know enough about what we are trying to achieve. Stuart Wilde
If I had a penny for each time clients ask the question....
How can I get my goals achieved?
Get Clear, Get Clear, Get Clear... Crystal Clear about what you want to achieve. This step is often the one that most prospective clients think they have mastered but really have not. When they arrive at my office, they are surprised to find out that in fact they weren't clear at all about what they want to achieve.
Yes, but how do you know if you are clear?
If you can convince yourself of what achieving the particular goal means to you, then you've done it.
Ask yourself not only what you want (this is definitely a good place to start) but why you want this. What about getting this goal is important to you?
The all time favorite goal that a lot of people have is to be rich. Excellent. What is rich to you? Is it having $10,000, $1,000,000 or $100,000,000? Or maybe it is being able to take 3 holidays a year in 5 star hotels. Or traveling the world.
Great, now that you know what you want, answer why you want it? If you do want a particular sum of money ask yourself what the money's exchange power means to you. What will you do with your new found fortunes? Will you attend more family gatherings, go to more plays, spend more time with your loved ones?
You've asked yourself the what and why questions and you are ready for the next step....
Once you determine exactly why you want to achieve your goal, establish how achieving this goal makes you feel. This part is always very enlightening. Ask yourself what your life will be like. Picture it if you are visual, feel it if you are sensory, or think it if you have a more cognitive nature. The point is get to the essence of why you want what you want.
What Do I mean by Essence?
Essence is the intrinsic properties that serve to characterize something. Achieving the particular goal that you want gives you security, happiness, joy or confidence. Take the time to identify the intrinsic properties of your goal achieved.
You know that doing what you've always done gets you more o what you already have...undesirable result.
Don't hesitate. You are almost there. This time pledge to understand
1) What you want, exactly
2) Achieve this goal because...?
3) How you feel now that you've got it -- the essence please!
Invest the time and get clear about what you want up front. Remember that, sooner or later, you will need to do this anyway.
Live with Passion!
