One of my favourite conversations starts with a question to ask people, ‘What are your goals?’ The answer you get can tell a great deal about someone. Nearly, everytime, there's common among those who feel sad in their current situation, are unhappy most of their lives, and who feel as though they are going nowhere: they have no goals.
In some cases, it is simply a case of not understanding the power and presence that goals provide (and in these cases, simple introduction is the answer.) Goal setting is easy once you understand how to do it. With other falls, they may understand the power of goals, but they simply haven’t taken the time or effort to set any (or to update their last batch of goals.) It is important to set new goals as soon as you achieve your car lies over, otherwise your car loses momentum. Others claim to be “going with the flow” (which often means drifting not going nowhere) and waiting for inspiration to strike.)
A person without a vision is like a ship afloat on the water. Surely, it might be a fun ride, you may get to relax a bit, but next thing you know, a couple of months have gone off and you will run out of rations, clean water, sunscreen and sanity. (The essentials) But a ship with a destination in mind travels with passion and purpose, and continues progress. When you have clear, concise goals, the universe delivers the exact clues you require to follow your course and reach your destination.
Do not wait for inspiration because inspiration is waiting on you, right now at this very moment. Create a vision. Involve your passion, as for a sign. You will get one. But if you do not select a destination, do not be surprised if you just keep drifting in limbo. You have no right to whine about how “nothing is happening” because that part was ultimately up to you and you never lose a destination! Be brave, be daring, be confident and have faith in you, whatever you ask for, you can have. Go for it!
