How to Achieve the goals I have set?
I have set my goals so, how do I get what I want. I don’t know how to achieve my goals you say. Let me explain.
Many people are guilty of setting goals and nothing happens. To prove this point think about the New Year’s resolutions many people make and not keep or should I say not know how to keep.
In lesson two you set a goal to take an imaginary trip to Italy. Let us continue with this goal. Freely use one of your goals in its place as well. If you have not read part one and two of “Goal Setting” you will find them on my blog.
You wrote your goal to take this trip to Italy. All plans are made or in process. The trip was a year out when planned. Let us assume it still is. The goal to take this trip to Italy is one you want to really achieve.
To anchor your trip in your mind you must get emotionally attached to it. To do this you can go online or to your favorite local bookstore or library and get books on Italy. You look at the details of your trip and you see that you are going to Rome, Venice and Florence.
You open the book to Rome and see giant pictures of the Sistine Chapel & Vatican Museums and you realize you will be there in a few months. You see pictures of the Sistine Chapel, and you are mesmerized. Your eyes do not want to move from this page. You see yourself walking down this long corridor in the Sistine Chapel looking up and barely breathing.
You finally flip the pages to land on Florence. You become immersed in the fascinating world of Michelangelo as you are guided through the Academia Gallery. You are excited by the highlight of this tour. Michelangelo's world-famous statue of David.
You have paused on these pages because you have placed yourself in your mind in the Academia Gallery this moment looking at this incredible piece of art. Michelangelo's world-famous statue of David. You wonder what more could this magnificent country have to offer. You smile and take a deep breath and move on, looking back for one last glance.
The last stop on your adventure is nicknamed queen of the Adriatic. The next group of pages highlight Venice and its roads of canals. One of the pictures from the book pull you in as you visualize yourself and your companion being rowed as musicians play the violin and softly sing a romantic Italian love song. You think what a way to live. You are feeling magnificent and peaceful yet so alive. Have I found love as well? Electric! You wonder why you didn’t travel sooner. It is extremely satisfying.
You think I will be here in less than a year.
You scan pages about Sienna, the Italian Rivera and the Amalfi coast and promise yourself this will be apart of your next trip.
You are now emotionally attached to this trip. Pick up the book each day and scan the pages and visualize your trip to Italy. Place yourself into the pictures.
Now that you have those pictures in your mind visualize yourself happily packing your clothes, driving to the airport and meeting with your small intimate tour group.
Stay focused. This is your absolute guarantee that you will take this trip. Nothing will stand in your way. The universe will open its arms and help you. Stay excited and teachable.
Look at your pictures daily and visualize your trip. As the months move forward you also work on your plan of action and do the projects as they come up.
Remember if you choose your destination and decide how you want to make this trip through life. Use goals as the catalyst to help you end up there.
Tune in for the conclusion in the series on goal setting. You may check my blog as well.
Until then. Honor yourself.
