Are you setting goals that you think you should? (DW#315)
Are you setting goals or making resolutions because you "think you should"? Or because others think you should?
If so, these goals are not very likely to be achieved.
Here is what some experts said in the Journal of Personality: "When goal pursuit is fueled by personal endorsement and valuing of the goal, commitment and persistence will be high. In contrast, when goal pursuit is the outcome of pressures or external contingencies, goal attainment will be comparatively less likely."
So instead of setting goals that others think you should, or that you think you should, just pause for a moment and ask yourself: if you did were not scared, doubtful or anxious, what would you like to achieve this year? If you knew you couldn’t fail, what would you go for? What is your heart longing to achieve?
Write that down. Those are goals that are likely to have meaning for you and are aligned with your life purpose.
Setting goals like these are likely to help you realize your full potential. And that is why we are here, after all.
