I want to write today about goal setting and more importantly, how to successfully achieve those goals. Goals can seem overwhelming at times. We might think, “How am I going to get from the point I am at now (point a) all the friggin way to where I want to be (point b or point c).
The one thing that we must remember in relation to this is…. The most important step you can take to realise your goals is the VERY FIRST STEP. All we need to be able to do is identify what the first step is and take it! This can be scary, but you need to simply trust in the process and trust that if you are willing to take that initial step, the universe will recognise this and help you in your cause! Meet the universe half-way. Things will start to flow; things will start to unfold. But ONLY if you are brave enough to take that first step. From then on, its little steps and little steps and little steps.
For instance, at the moment, I have set a goal to complete a health science degree in Chinese medicine and acupuncture. This is a HUGE goal and is going to involve 4 years minimum of hard work and commitment. I could get very overwhelmed by this. But I took the first step which was to enrol in the course. From here on in I am going to take little steps and focus on each step as I take it. I will also trust that the universe will conspire to help me in my cause, and provide me with what I need, whether that be a new job that works around my study schedule, more time in general to study, or the money I need for text books. The point is I could sit and stress about all the intricacies involved in setting a goal of such magnitude, but that is pointless. Again, having that trust in the universe is KEY for setting and achieving goals. Remember its not just in your scope of control, but that the universe is also on your side, as long as you do your bit and take part in the process of moving forward.
The same goes for any goal, of any size. Once you can identify what it is that you truly want to create or achieve or manifest, have the courage to take that initial step. It’s so powerful. Remember that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. You want a different outcome in your life? Do something different! Be brave! It ALWAYS pays off.
Sometimes you need to forgo thinking about all the nitty gritty details of goal setting, and just take powerful action steps and then trust the process! If you follow suit with this kind of thinking, you truly can achieve any goal. The problem is most goal setting and going after your goals, involves an element of stepping out of your comfort zone… which a lot of people are unwilling to experience. Are you ready to make a change and follow what your heart truly desires? I AM.
