What Makes a goal
Goal: the end toward which effort is directed. 🏹
What makes for a true goal?
You Want It With All Your Heart 💚
When you think about your goal, you feel an emotional charge. Before any doubtful thoughts creep in, you feel excited, enthusiastic, hopeful, clear, sure-footed and alive when you think about it. There’s no “meh” feeling. The vision of your goal has a direct line to your heart which means it incites passion within you!
You’ve Never Done It Before 🤔
If you have a goal of getting a new job but it’s really the same job with the same tasks at a similar company company (but with a different name), that’s not a true goal. A goal means growth. It doesn’t constitute evolution which is what you are going for. Your goal should bring more of you to the surface. Going after something you've already done doesn't require much of your incredible human abilities (will, intuition, etc) and drawing from that infinity pool of abilities is what makes life magical.
You Don’t Know How To Do It 🧐
If your big goal is so big (to you) and you have NO clue how it’s going to happen, take heart, that’s exactly what you want! If you knew how to get to where you really want to go, there wouldn’t be any emotional engagement. You would be bored and boredom means you’re becoming stagnant. You figure out the how as you’re moving towards your goal. The steps will reveal themselves along the path, not at the start. As much as we humans want all the answers at the start of a path, it’s not how this existence works. The fun and expansion happen as you allow the universe to surprise you with the directions right as they are needed. You will be amazed at how beautifully the steps are orchestrated. So beautiful that you could’ve never imagined up the steps yourself. As Steve Jobs said, “You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.”
This is just a sample of what you will dig into while working with me as your coach. Are you ready to get crystal clear on your big, soaring goals and commit to them with the best tools and support you need to succeed? Remember, you being you with your unique desires is exactly what the world needs. Your goals are sacred.
