Every new year, I revisit my goals setting folder to renew them, to give them more life, more energy, and to give me that boost to another 12 months of life changing activities. 

What change over the years, how I look at my life goals. As I mature in age and gained some insight, I focused on the experiences and how my goals setting would make me feel. Also, I work on the requirements of those experiences and compare them with my existing capability, work on a plan on how to achieve it. To make the goal enthusiastic, I also think of how this experience or goal adds value to my loved ones and other people or beings.

Have you thought about your goals lately? What’s your dream? Is there anything that you did something about it? Have you started working on it?

They say that you have all the time in the world, But I’ve heard this statement from many people. But the truth is we have limited time with unlimited resources. I know some of you are raising eyebrows. But I am not trying to influence you, please read through and have your own conclusion.

Do you want to give your goals another jumpstarts the way I, do it? Here is what you need to do – write down your goals and use these questions to speed up the manifestation of your dream.

  • What’s your highest priority in this lifetime?

What’s the most important for you to experience, discover or embrace in this lifetime? As much as you wanted to do so many things, you will be limited by time. So, use your time wisely.

Again, what is it that you want to experience, discover, or embrace in this lifetime? Until you answer this question, your life goals will be off purpose. Maybe Unaligned with your inner passion, your intentions will lack the power to attract the people and situations necessary to become a reality.

Get clued into your true joy. Only happiness is the way. But Your emotion of true joy tells you that you are on the right path. The way you define your happiness has always been there from the moment you were born until you get acquainted and adjusted with this world. Let me ask you, what activities did you enjoy as a child? What are your hobbies now? When your goals are aligned with your soul, synchronicity kicks in to guide you in achieving them.

  • Is this your dream, or someone else’s?

Are your goals your own choice, or you let others thinks what you should strive for? Do you want to look back 20 years from now and wish you had followed your passion?

Will you regret having “played it safe?”

Is it selfish to go after your own dream? What joy can you give to others if you haven’t given it to yourself first? 

Simply ask this question – Who is your boss in terms on your life experiences? And who should feel happy or sad or elated for your life – is it you or someone else?

If this life is only about experiencing (because you can’t really carry the material possession to death) – you experience love by loving the person you want to be with and not the one chosen by your parents or whoever has the capacity to do that decision for you.

You experience kindness from those times when you did not have much, in this case you also need to learn how to ask. You experience clarity in breakthroughs. These are examples of life experiences that will help you grow within.

  • Are you settling for less?

Patience does not to equal tolerance. However patience has the love aspect, you do it out of love. Although Tolerance is leniency or acceptance, you do it to keep the peace even though you are not entirety happy about it.  Are you designed to accepting less than your full share of love, health, and accomplishment in this lifetime? Have you been tolerant of others while you compromised and sacrificed your dream?

Anything short of living your true passions will never make you happy.

  • What will you feel like when you reach your dream?

Your passion fuels your vision. What will you feel like when you reach your dream? Imagine being there 3 or 5 years from now? I want you to dive into the thrill and exhilaration of the feeling of living your dream. Do you remember the happiness in the face of a child when they play “make believe”? I really hope you’ve seen one, if you haven’t or if you’ve forgotten, please search it on YouTube or Google, and I want you to close your eyes and play the game of make believe. What do you see? Can you feel it? What do you hear? Do you hear laughter? Does it smell good? Taste good? Allow yourself to be carried away by your senses, they are gifts.

The Hawaiian Kahuna say, “Where your creative attention flows, so flows your life.” What are you waiting for?

  • What steps can you take today toward your dream?

Don’t defer your dream. Set up supports and create a system around you to instantly translate your intentions into action. 

Are there smaller projects that lead to your larger dream? If the goal is to run a marathon, train for a local fun-run first. And find a way to measure your progress. Track those little wins-by writing in a journal or get an accountable partner or friend to help you.

Get that capability that you need for your goal, schedule your appointment with the coach, record your actions in your calendar.  Jump on every opportunity that is in line with your purpose and vision. Also learn to say “No” to activities that are not aligned to your goals.

  • Are you telling yourself: “I can’t have my dream?”

Most people don’t believe they can live their dream. There are only two scenarios for this: 

1) Either their belief system has them believing they can’t make a living doing what they love, or 

2) they feel they don’t deserve their dream. 

“It’s too good to be true.” And to avoid the pain of feeling they can’t have their dream; people often keep their dream so buried they can’t remember they ever had a dream. What a waste of life! If a baby stop trying to walk from the first time they got hurt, then they will not be able to run, ride a bike and live a normal life.

You can have the life that you want, all the experiences you want, and all your goals achieved. 

Everyone has a dream! And everyone is destined to fulfill that purpose. Do it now. Why wait?

Let’s Get Started!

Create a list of possible goals for yourself. They don’t have to be accomplishable in year, or even in your lifetime. What I want you to do is to let your imagination loose, remove the judgment of realistic or unrealistic, or specific, or any other goal rule you know. Make a list of as many things are you think of in all areas of your life in the following criteria:

  • Must Have Goals
  • Step-up Goals
  • Ultimatum Goals
  • Inheritance Goals
  • Deep Desires
  • Magical Goals
  • Happy Wants
  • Naughty Wants
  • Super Wants

The purpose of this exercise is to awaken the life in you. In my next article, I’ll help you organize these goals, prioritize, and create action plans. Now I just want you to list down all the possible goals you want to have.

Must Have Goals

These are goals that you want to pursue. Goals that will make you a better person if you pursue them. What should you pursue this year? 

Step-up Goals

These are goals that you’ve been working on, a progression or advancement that would take the goal to a next level. What do you feel the next reasonable step to accomplish to step-up?

Ultimatum Goals

Ultimatum goals are that you swore to do but never did. Think of this goal and ask yourself, If I don’t do it this year, I’m never going to it. This year I am finally going to do it, or there will be negative repercussion. 

Inheritance Goals

These are  genuine goals that your parents, grandparents or loved ones want you to do. Remember those “expectations” set on you or handed to you because they care about you? The objective of you writing this down is to understand “whose dreams is it that you are working on.”

Deep Desires

These are the life goals that you want more than anything in the world. The goal that are prominent in your daydreams.

Magical Goals

These are you wish goals, what would you wish for if the ‘genie’ appears in front of you right now and gives you three wishes.

Happiness Goals

If your happiness wasn’t dependent on getting what you wanted, then what would you want? Or What would you do ‘now’ to make you happy? Do you have any short term or long term plan for this?

Naughty Wants

Firstly what if you have a different life? secondly what are those “never be able” to do from your current life that is achievable if you have a different life? Moreover what would you do if you are the only child of the most influential man in the universe?

Super Goals

What would you love to have more in your life? What are your big grin goals?

In my next blog I will help you prioritize your goals and ultimately find your true goals, the ones that will make your heart jump with joy.
