Goal Is Not A Four Letter Word

I’ve had lots of interesting conversations this week with girlfriends and clients about some really deep stuff.

Here is just a sample of the questions that were put on the table:

• What if I don’t know who I’m supposed to be?
• How do I break free of other people’s expectations?
• Why can’t I seem to get past my story?
• Why do the people around me have trouble excepting that I am changing?

Each question could be a series of blog posts on it’s own (and might be at some point), but here is the question/theme that seemed to come up over and over this week:

Why Can’t I Reach My Goals?

It’s a common frustration for many people and one I often find myself coaching clients on.

Here are the juicy goods:

The process of a setting a GOAL is not really understood

The process of getting a GOAL is not really understood

The GOAL is not really your goal

The GOAL doesn’t match your values

The mindset around a GOAL may be one of deprivation rather than abundance

The GOAL isn’t really something you care about achieving

What’s a not-too-big not-too-small GOAL…in other words a GOAL that is jussst right

We’re afraid to fail

We’re afraid to succeed

Listen up gorgeous…goals are NOT bad things

They are not restrictive, rigid, or designed to deprive

Goals, in their true sense are supposed to be expansive,

To fill you with a sense of purpose, possibility, and fulfillment

To have you FEEL the way you want to feel…that’s the power and beauty of goals

And doesn’t that sound so much more fun?
