Knowing what you want out of life is certainly a key component to live the life of your dreams. Take out a piece of paper and write the date on the top of the page. We are embarking on a goal setting exercise. Across the top of the paper make three columns using the headings listed below.
1. Personal Goals
2. Material and Fun Goals
3. Financial Goals
Let your imagination soar. Write down what you would like out of life. What would you love to do, be or have? Where would you love to travel? What interest would you love to pursue? How much money would you love to have? Dream big!!! Don't let that little voice in the back of your head discourage you. Don't listen to the "That's impossible" or "I'll never be able to achieve that". Give yourself about 10 minutes; keep writing things down. Take more time if your imagination is expansive.
By now you might be nodding your head and beginning to smile....good.
Before you begin I want you to read this quote that is attributed to either Marianne Williamson or Nelson Mandela. Make sure you are sitting down. This is my favorite quote of all time.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone! And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Read that quote again.
Now you can begin to write down your goals.
Come back again for more on goal setting.
