Goal Setting Changed My Life

As I embark upon this 30 day challenge which deals with mindset and taking daily action. I discover more and more of my purpose. Which is to help others believe in the unseen God, experience His awesomeness and get to know themselves along the journey.
Out of repetition, people tend to do the same thing over and over again. Sinking corporations often die because of “This is the way we’ve always done it” mentality. Being innovative and vanguard are things we must allow from ourselves.
As adults, we must give ourselves permission to be like a child. Christ said, “In order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, we must be like children.” I want you to stop and think… What attributes can you name of a child?
– Children let their imaginations run loose
– They say what’s on their mind
– They almost always live in the now (you know the “I want it now” mode)
– They love unconditionally
– They forgive easily
– They’re not confined by time
When you think about it, time tends to not have an importance to them unless their goals depend on it (i.e. a parent says, “You can have it tomorrow”) Then they expect it. They always live their life with expectations. As should we.
What they don’t know is, they’re living life pure. Just the way it was intended to be lived.
I’m currently in a 30 day challenge. It’s 30 days of believing (it’s actually a practice). Intentionally setting my goal before me every single morning, every single night and several times throughout the day. The last time I set a goal like this was 3 months ago. The goal was to bring in an additional 10k. Within a week, I received an unexpected phone call from someone wanting my services. They had a situation arise that led them to need my assistance.
And guess what. The amount totaled 10k!
The way it came was totally unexpected. I mean it was expected for the 10k to come, but not in the vehicle that it arrived in. I couldn’t have guessed this person would’ve been the vehicle. In our MyBizMyWay.net community, we have a training session on goal setting. And believe it or not, there is an art to setting goals (if you really want to achieve). I am a firm believer in the power of goal setting! It has been one of the most powerful techniques that myself and anyone else that is successful in their business has used.
So how do you know you’ve arrived? If you’ve never identified where you were going?
Answer: You don’t. That’s why goal setting is a MUST.
On a personal note: Here’s another example of how goal setting has given me a desired result.
Last month I decided that I wanted to take my health and wellness more serious. I signed up for a diet challenge at DietBet.com. Within 21 days, I had melted away 10 lbs of fat. My success was contributed to and in direct correlation to my goal. The next contribution was community. I knew daily exercise and meal planning hadn’t been a strength of mine. I hadn’t quite mastered it, so it was critical that I joined forces with others who would inspire, motivate and even challenge me to reach my goal. And I did! I reached my goal. And I won money doing it. Since then, my confidence has soared and now I’m ready to do it again.
Did it cost me?
Yes. But most importantly, I’m worth it. This is my life. I’m only given one. So what’s an investment of $50, $100 or even more to actually get results?
I learned something. You give in order to get. And most of the time, it’s money. You see, you’re receiving is in direct proportion to your giving. Whether it’s time, energy, skill, money, etc.
Since we (adults) need to be reprogrammed, this can be a difficult practice. You hear it in church. Give and it shall be given unto you. Money is usually one of the hardest things for us to part with. But trust yourself. Love yourself. Invest in You. Then you will be invested in.
Love you always, Bee-utiful!
