ONE GOAL

I normally have 5 or more current goals written down where I will see them every day, and I eventually reach every goal that is truly important to me. However, some of the goals I set for myself are eventually dropped from my list because I realize they aren’t really important to me after all.

Buying a motorhome was one of those goals. When the idea came to me, I was all gung-ho to get one and start traveling. But after a few months I realized I didn’t really want a motorhome and all the work and expenses that go along with it, so I dropped it from my list.

Anyway, I’m telling you this as a precursor to a different approach to goals. I know from experience that anybody with normal mental capacity can have different goals in different areas of life and achieve each one, such as:

A PROMOTION AT WORK
BUY A NEW CAR
HELP YOUR CHILD IMPROVE AT READING
TAKE YOUR FAMILY ON A CRUISE

But think about this-- What would happen if you only had ONE GOAL at a time. You would put the others on a separate list to deal with later. Then you would be free to focus all of your energy and attention on that ONE GOAL. Success would be an absolute certainty! Not only would you be focusing on ONE GOAL like a laser beam, but there would be no question that this is truly something you want.

Try it and let me know your results.

Now go take on the day!

Peace, out.

  1. An interesting idea!
    Th hard bit would be deciding what your top goal was.
    At the moment mine is 'enlightenment/Dialogue with God'.
    That's a bit of a problem, as it might take a lifetime to achieve!
    Writing it down and keeping it in view will at least remind me of the goal though :-)

  3. Here are my goals:

    1. Go to Disneyland this year.

    2. Go to Disneyland this year.

    3. Go to Disneyland this year.

    4. Go to Disneyland this year.

    5. Go to Disneyland this year.

    But I now realize that these goals are a little lofty for ME, so I have decided to drop number 5, at least for now.

    Happy New Year....
