Spurred by some current reading about leadership and management, I have come to ask the question tonight of myself: What is my goal? I am not enough of a simpleton to believe that everything about a person's life can be condensed into a single statement, not should we try to do this. I am however feeling that most areas of my life are being over-managed and under-led. Meaning that although I work on things and am becoming more efficient all the time at doing them, what good is this really doing me? Where am I really trying to go? What is my end-goal? It seems that it will be much easier to stop running around aimlessly if I have some definable goal that I always have in mind. So how does this relate to prosperity? Well, prosperity is all about setting goals. Power of attraction is about setting goals. Perhaps I am not getting any where in my visualizations because I am not consistant about what I am wanting in the end. After all the universe matches what we are thinking about but if we aren't consistent, we won't get consistent results. That said, I would like to set a few goals for myself.
1. Financially:
To make money. This means doing things with disposable income that will lead to more income (not more things in my closest). Along with this comes the great things that we all think about with the 1000 experiment: traveling, new furniture, designer clothes, luxury vehicles,... But first I need to remember that the goal, for me, is not to have lots of nice stuff, the goal is to have lots of money.
2. Health:
To be healthy enough to meet my other goals. Being healthy and active is something I struggle with. From eating foods that are better for me to making it to the gym more than once a month, I have troubles staying focused. But I know the huge benefits I get in other areas of my life when I am consistent in my eating habits and my exercising. And although I would like to be able to say that I ran a 5K, that is not the final goal, just a milestone along the way.
3. Relationships with others
I need some time on this one. I know that I want to have deeper more meaningful realationships. I also want to get our more and expose myself to more experiences and new people.
4. Career goals
Not sure here either. I know that a goal is to make money to invest to make more money, but if that is the case then there is no real need to advance apart from earning a higher salary, and really no need to get an MBA (which is an incredibly large investment with questionable ROI). I will need to give this more thought. Is it really a sound career goal to say that I want a job I enjoy while in the back of my mind I am really thinking that I would rather have passive income so that I don't have to work? And having daydreams about owning my own business?
5. Spiritual/creatvity
Another area I will have to work on setting my direction.
