Let's face it, we all have things we want to accomplish in our lives. But it seems like we get so distracted from the big things because of all the little fires we have to put out each day.
We have great intentions, but rarely do those intentions actually come to fruition because we're so busy just doing the day to day stuff. Then we look back a few years down the road wondering why we never accomplished that 5 year plan we had for ourselves.
We know what goals are, and we may have even participated in a few goal setting sessions during our life. But for whatever reason, we just didn't make those goals a priority in our lives and now we're once again at a crossroads trying to determine whether to give up on our dreams and just continue aimlessly walking through our lives or finally work toward achieving those big dreams.
So today, we're going to finally take the first step toward creating meaningful goals and look at individual goals examples you need to address in your own life.
And just to be clear, yes, it's going to mean...
- setting aside time to think through the good things you want for your life,
- facing some of our bad habits head on,
- acknowledging that we are aren't necessarily where we thought we would be at this point,
- realizing that we can change our path, and
- putting in the hard work needed.
This isn't going to just be a quick thing you do in between phone calls so you can check it off your to do list. This is going to require you to get out of your comfort zone, put forth a concerted effort in order to dig into some uncomfortable things, and learn some new skills.
But aren't your biggest dreams worth mucking through some discomfort?
If you said yes, then let's do it!
