First step is to write goals down
- Benefits of writing down goals
- You become creator
- You get clear on how to make your goals happen
- Purpose is stronger than outcome
This is the power of goal setting and we don’t understand how it works. There’s something beyond just what we understand of writing something down. Something happens. You become a creator when you write down goals and you get clear as to how you make them happen.
Purpose is stronger than outcome. What do I mean? Well I think that the purpose of goals is not so you get things; the purpose of any goal – the real reason to set goals is what they will make of you as a person. Have purpose for your goals – know why you’re setting each one.
Before we get into actually writing your goals I need you to do a little homework.
What I’d like you to do is, I want you to write down two things.
- Write down areas of your life you’re dissatisfied with
- Write down what kind of beliefs would you need to have to change that dissatisfaction to satisfaction
1) What are some of the areas of your life you are dissatisfied with?
Now I don’t want you to feel bad or real negative about it, but just be honest with yourself. What are some of the areas of your life that are not enough? It’s not good enough; it’s not what you deserve it to be. It’s not where you’ve committed having to be. Take a look at yourself physically, emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, financially, in your relationships, in your business, at work. So the question I want you to ask yourself is, “What’s not good in my life? What am I not satisfied with? And get inspired as you write it down because whatever you write down, you’re going to be able to change and that’s number one and make a good list of things you’re dissatisfied with. That will create some pressure inside of you to create some powerful new goals.
2) Write down what kind of beliefs would I have to have?
What are a couple additional beliefs – we went over a couple of them in “Why my style of goal setting works”. What are two or three other beliefs that you would probably need to have in order to really set goals and achieve them? What are two or three new beliefs you would need to live by in order to really start achieving your goals?
That’s your simple assignment for today. Just leave today with a focus on getting big enough whys. The power of why is the power to achieve all your wants and desires.
