Why goal setting fails, and what you can do about it!
Every new beginning is full of opportunities and uncertainties, as they go hand-in-hand.
What do you dream about achieving? What is your greatest aspiration?
Dreaming in the form of intending what you want to manifest in your life is a good thing, as it primes your consciousness to better identify and utilise both your internal and external resources.
Wishing for a more fulfilling relationship, better job, new car, healthy body, or anything else that you think will make you happy is a delusion. You’re bound to be disappointed if your aim is to acquire something in order to feel a certain way.
Dreaming is an inside-out approach that creates success momentum. Delusion is an outside-in approach that eventually results in stress and burnout.
Inside-out means knowing what you want and how it feels to be the person who has already achieved your desired result, then allowing your thoughts, feelings and actions to be inspired by your End State Energy!
Outside-in means chasing a goal in hope that the achievement of that goal will bring for you the experience that you would like to have. This approach, at best, gets short-term results, but usually at a high cost because of the amount of energy that its pursuit consumes.
Choose to dream big, and allow those big feelings to guide you toward the experiences that enliven you. In this way you get what you want through being who you are.
When your dreams are enlivened by your End State Energy and when they are ecological — beneficial for you, others, and the world (win-win-win), that’s the winning formula!
Identifying and utilizing your End State Energy is the theme of my seven part article called “The Next Step!“
