Category: Goal Setting On Purpose

It’s too easy to get distracted now days, we live in an ADD world where something or someone is always demanding our attention.

It’s too easy to lose focus on your goals and forget them for a little while, next thing you know a week passes by a month a year and you never looked at your goals or made sure you were on a path to achieving it.

Energy is the only thing that you have, and it is the thing that connects us all and to everything we do. If your energy is spent elsewhere you won’t reach your goal.

Have you ever noticed that when an idea is new it lights you up and you get excited by it? And the longer you have the idea but never do anything with it, it seems to lose steam, it slowly burns out and isn’t as exciting anymore.

Once you have the dream, the goal, the spark, and small flame you need to feed the fire and keep fueling it.

What idea, what dream, what goal have you had for quite some time and just never seem to accomplish it. Think about that for a second, is there a book you have wanted to write, a business you wanted to start, a job you wanted to quit, a language you wanted to learn, maybe it’s losing weight or just becoming the best version of you?

Its starts with the desire and grows into a goal. Most people do this around new years or big birthdays when they are reminded to look at the clock and calendar.

The big challenge is that we typically over-estimate what we can do in a week or a month and severely underestimate what we can do in a few weeks or a few months of concentrated work.

Imagine that goal that you really wanted if you really stayed committed to working on it every day. Just doing one little thing that moved you a tiny bit closer every day simply because you rewrote that goal every day, feed it energy and kept the idea / dream / goal burning bright every day.

What would it look like when you actually reached your goal? How amazing would you feel? Close your eyes and imagine that for a minute, you finally reached that goal that you may have been striving for the past month, or year, or 5 years.

Now imagine that your goal became a reality simply because you stayed focused on your goal by writing it every day. Wouldn’t it be worth a try?

Try it out, every morning before you get into the “Morning Race” the race to get to the kids ready for school, and you get to work, take just a minute or two to write your goals out.

Start taking refocusing on you by building a morning routine that sets you up for success.

Start by writing your goals every day.
