Posts Tagged ‘choosing goal’

It’s not hard to get caught up in acquiring a skill or pursuing some goal, and forget the real reason that we want to do something.

Sometimes we get locked into a particular way of manifesting our goal, but have completely forgotten about the real reason. There are many detriments to this…

  • We lack the emotional strength of the original, real, true, deeper, inspiring goal
  • When we finish, we may find the accomplishment empty and wonder why we really bothered with that goal
  • We close ourselves off to better ways of accomplishing our goal
  • If we never really touch the deeper goal, we may be mistaken and be focusing on something totally off! Only upon further investigating and delving in, we can find what we really care about.
  • When we find the real deeper drive, new ideas and ways to pursue the desired feeling become evident.

I strongly encourage you to take a moment – or several – and look at your current goal, what you are focusing on, writing a Pray Rain Journal on, or anything similar – and ask: “What’s the purpose? What does accomplishing this give me? Then, what does THAT give me?”

I did this a few days ago with someone, and kept asking the same question about 5-6 times and got to peace. The “goals behind the goals” (as Jamie Smart says) are things like freedom, peace, tranquility, happiness, fulfillment, and love.

Don’t get stuck on a means goal, when the real emotional experience that you want is really up the chain – you want x, because you want y, because y gets you z. When you focus on the real end goal, you get the better feeling vibration, and maintain the motvation for your real goal.

If you try to learn google adwords marketing, so that you can make an income by making a list and selling affiliate products, so that you can then quit your job, so that you can then enjoy time with your family or focus on your passion- but you focus only on “it feels good to know I can do google adwords marketing” all you may feel is “so what?”

Allow yourself to choose a goal you are focusing on. Ask yourself what accomplishing it gets for you. Ask what that gets for you. Now, you can focus the real desired feeling and goal and watch it manifest much faster and more enjoyably!
