Tapping Into The Goldmine Of Goal Setting

We all say that we want abundance, wealth, and prosperity, but what are we actually doing to create and allow for the manifestation of these powerful and beautiful gifts that are our birthright? What most of us have consistently done is to drift, to just get by. We fall into jobs we feel passion-less about. We accept our current unfulfilling lifestyle. We become resigned to a life of struggling to make ends meet. We watch as things happen to us. As a result, it's no surprise that we experience such high levels of dissatisfaction by living on auto pilot in this manner and forfeiting our right to create our lives on purpose, with purpose, and positive intentions.

Actualizing our dreams and achieving our goals requires focus, clear direction, and empowered effort. It involves establishing effective habits that result in successful outcomes. The definition of insanity is repeating the same behavior and patterns and expecting a different result. Are you ready to shift into a world conscious living and soul-full sanity?

The first step to changing old, limiting habits of drifting or remaining stagnant is really quite simple: Get out a pen, a pencil, a magic marker, a crayon, anything -- or just turn on your computer and open up a new word document and being to type! Write down or type out your goals. Clearly define the things you most deeply desire. Then, establish the steps you need to acquire what you desire.

Does writing down your goals really make that much of a difference? In one word -- YES!

When studying the influence of goal-setting, researchers have found that only 3% of the population writes down their goals. Are you one of the individuals in the 3% or are you in the 97% category? The motivated minority those who made a practice of goal-setting were wealthier and more successful than the rest of the 97%. Clearly, success lies in joining that 3% and actively designing our lives purposefully, deliberately, and passionately.

Why should you even bother with setting goals?

Goals are the roadmap of dreams specific action plans for achieving the success you want. Create your own yellow brick road and take the first step by sitting down and getting real clear about what you really want you life to look like. Most people don't spend a lot of time setting goals because it feels like a waste of time. They think, "Why not just get going?"

We’ve all traveled without directions. For instance, say you want to try to find a restaurant you’ve heard your friends raving about. You know the general area of the city in which it's located, you know which street it is near, but you don't know the exact address. You might find the place with no trouble, but more than likely, you end up driving around -- and around getting close, perhaps even getting lost. You may happen to bump into the place after riding in circles and wasting your time, wasting gas, and testing your patience. You may need to stop and ask for directions. If your search is frustrating enough, you may even decide to eat somewhere or go home. What's the point I'm getting at? Poor planning can easily result in disappointing outcomes. The bottom line is that we can afford to wing it when it comes to whims. Dreams are another matter! They are important enough to warrant a roadmap, wouldn't you say? They require clear goal-setting and a commitment to daily action steps that pave the way for the success we desire.

When we choose to concentrate our energy, direct our focus like a laser beam towards the manifestation of our dreams, and decide to make the invisible visible, we will set ourselves on the fast track to living a life of joy, fulfillment, and phenomenal success. I speak from personal experience when I tell you that setting goals was and continues to be a necessary component to my success. Without clearly establishing my goal to run my own companies, become a bestselling author, publish five books, become a broadcaster, a radio show host, and taking daily action steps toward those goals, I wouldn't have made that a reality for myself. I continue to create new, grander, more detailed goals, dreams, and visions once I manifest the ones I previously set for myself.

I choose to think bigger, dream larger, and expect grander results from my efforts. Is this pattern worthwhile? ABSOLUTELY! I feel more fulfilled than I ever have in my life because I've discovered firsthand that I have the absolute, ever-present option and potential to create my life in whatever way I want it to be. It's a very empowering way to live, and I encourage you to try it. I always say, you have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

Tap into that limitless goldmine of wealth that you deserve. Begin right now by setting some new, passion-filled goals for yourself that fill you with enthusiasm and make you feel alive again! Take that first step. Commit to creating a successful, fulfilling life for yourself. Your spirit will shine like never before as you tap into your full potential and awaken to the reason you're alive. I'll leave you with this, CARPE MOMENTO!
