Wanted to catch your eye on this one.
As I tick off goal after goal after goal as ‘complete,’ many people have asked if I’m excited or how I feel?
Really, I feel no different than any other day.
The process required to achieve a goal takes time and diligence. Overcoming the ‘bumps in the road’ and reaching mini-milestones is the ‘journey.’ You’ve heard “it’s the journey, not the outcome” I’m sure.
I finally get what is meant by that statement.
The purpose of a goal is to have us grow in conscious awareness as we jump those hurdles, large and small. When we increase our awareness, we become a ‘match’ for the goal we are after. We are ‘ready’ for it, if you will.
Take lottery winners for example. They have not jumped the hurdles, done the work nor paid the price for those winnings and are not aware of how to manage themselves or great volumes of money. The result in so many cases is bankruptcy and occasional suicide.
I simply keep my head down, stay focused and always ask ‘will this activity take me toward my goal?’ If yes, I move. If not, I do not.
When people and events begin to ’show up’ that align with fulfilling the goal, I simply smile and keep on trucking. I am acutely aware that when we are very focused and persistent and patient, everything we need shows up in our path to help us reach our goals. [It's already there of course, but now I'm aware of it!]
I always thought it was ‘reaching the goal and getting the thing I wanted.’
Now I know it’s the growth required to be a match to the big things I want that has me simply smile as I check off one more dream come true.
