we don’t just want a system for achieving our goals—we also need a system for choosing the right goals, which are aligned with who we ARE and what we really want (as opposed to what we think we want—because we think it will make us happy).
I have listed the following exercises in the order I feel they should be done to get the best result (because I did them in this order and got a great result). The first exercise feeds into the second and so on, so please don’t skip any.
(Part 1 of 4: A Goal Mastery System to Rule Them All)
As a writer who gets lost in the world of creating for hours at a time, not to mention the hours I spend doing meditation and emotional integration practices to strengthen my intuitive abilities, I’ve had a love-hate relationship with to-do lists and productivity management systems all my life.
Quick. I’m sure you’re annoyed about something or someone right now. Because…human. :)
So what do you think you need to feel better about yourself or your life in relation to this situation?
Now ask yourself:
And what will that give me (that I don’t have now)?
It was one of the greatest nights of my life.
One hundred people mingled together in the small room I had booked next to a large music venue.
As an introvert who has always loved helping to create a sense of community for people (but rarely do because I truly border on reclusive), knowing that I had brought all these people together and that they were now connecting, talking and laughing thrilled me. But the best part? They had all come to listen to me read from my newly launched book Help Me, Asia: Five Countries, One Mission, Learn How to Be Happy–the writing of which had been a trying, 10-year labour of love.
Dear TRailBLazer,
No one just ARRIVES.
We have to go on THE JOURNEY.
So if your life isn’t all rainbows and unicorns right now, don’t worry too much about it. Just celebrate how far you’ve come and keep moving in the direction of your highest vision for yourself, with your head held high!
Ugh.
That’s the feeling when you know there’s something you want to do, but you’re not doing it.
I know it well.
But why aren’t you (we?) doing it?
Well, duh. Fear of failure, right? Isn’t that the bogeyman in the closet that keeps all us adults awake at night?
Sometimes. But that’s usually just a cover for the real fear.
