Before You Set Any Goal . . .

Before You Set Any Goal Question Everything
By Oliver Fix

If there was a way to have everything you want and need, effortlessly and gracefully and you could indeed be happy and satisfied every moment of your journey, would that be worth reconsidering some of your most cherished beliefs and spending some time looking with new eyes and considering your life from another perspective?

This was already the first step in setting your goals: spend time developing the vision of the outcome of your life. Seek alternative views and explore how people you admire are doing it. Start dreaming up your preferred way of operating and don’t be shy.

Here is something about beliefs: They define what we allow ourselves to experience. Science determined that we do not actually perceive the world as it is, but only as we are able to see it through our own specific glasses/filters. We mostly perceive what we believe to know…

The implications of this are fascinating. What we have experienced so far is due to the beliefs we held. Someone with a different belief system would have experienced the events in your life differently and would have drawn different conclusions and taken different actions! This means beliefs are primary and whatever happens is secondary to how we are affected.

So, before we set our goals and as we are building our vision of how we want to live and who exactly we want to be, we need to become aware of our current beliefs. Some of them may not have been working in your favor in the first place, prompting your desire for change.

Our society seems to hold some of the following beliefs very deeply. Read them and feel if they hold any power over you: ‘You have to work hard to get what you want’ ‘There isn’t enough for everyone- it’s either you or someone else’ ‘You have to be pretty or outwardly successful to be loved and accepted’ ‘Your worth depends on how well you do for yourself’ Etc…

Chances are that you have been affected by these and other rather limiting and fear based beliefs and that they have not given you the happiness and satisfaction you know you want and are seeking to attain.

So, are you ready to have it easy? Are you ready to envisage a life based on love and abundance, where you ‘know’ you are OK and taken care of and where you allow yourself to thrive with ease and grace? Or is this idea intimidating, far-fetched or ‘unrealistic’? Who would you be if YOUR life was easy and satisfying?

Contemplate the following questions and write a list of at least 10 items for each question:

1. What would you do if money, age or skill were no issue? Make a note of any ‘Yeah but…’ responses on a separate list, so they don’t keep you stuck.

2. What would you do if you could not fail?

3. What is most important in your life? And in what order?

Once you have a clear idea of what it is you really want, relish in in the imagination of having it. Imagine vividly and in detail how it would feel if you had your ideal life, being who and how you really want to be, doing what you love to do and getting everything you ever desired!

Do not worry about how it is going to come about. Note and temporarily park any arising worries on your ‘Yeah but…’ sheet. You can deal with them later. Indulge in how you want it in great detail. Pretend it has come to pass already. Your unconscious will not know the difference and will from then on assist you in bringing your desires into reality. Let this magic work for you.

So, once you have fully captured your ideal scenario, write it up, make a photo collage or a drawing, or find any other symbolic way, which reminds you of your new self and desired state often and powerfully.

Next take the ‘Yeah but…’ list and put your creativity to work. Allow yourself to find solutions to the seeming impossible and allow yourself to be surprised by how proficient your unconscious is at generating solutions, now that it knows where you want to go! There might even be events or circumstances, which previously seemed difficult and somehow now prove ‘just right’!

Once your vision is clear, truly connected to your original desires and in line with your core beliefs of choice you have made a goal for all the forces to conspire in making that goal a reality!
