Goal Setting Made Easy

 

Writing what you want creates a kind of miracle.  This probably works in the following manner.  When you first think of something, it is just a thought in your head. It is not yet in the physical universe. However, thought is energy and the universe and everything in it are also made of energy.    When you write something down, your thought now exists in the physical universe.  Somehow, the physical universe eventually follows suit.  Many intuitive people know that thought creates reality.  If you need scientific, rational reasoning as to why this works, I suggest you read "The Holographic Universe" by Michael Talbot.

Clarity Leads to Power
The universe will give you whatever want.  Part of the trick is in being clear on exactly what it is that you want. Writing a goal helps us to get very clear on what it is that we want.  Once we are clear, God/Great Spirit/the universe know what to give us. Often we really have been getting what we have been asking for all along - it is just that it hasn't seemed to be that way.

Your own Goal Setting
Think about the goals you would like to set.  Think of an easy goal you would like to achieve within one month.  Then think of one for 3 months and one for a year.
And later on you might like to think about what you would like to achieve for a Major Life Goal. What this means is, when you come to the end of your life, and you look back, what would you like to have achieved. How will the earth and its people be different as a result of your being here?

How to Do Goal Setting so that it Works for You
1. Be very SPECIFIC. How can anyone give you what you want if you don't know what you want?

2. Write in the PRESENT. Do NOT say e.g. "I will have ... ".  Tomorrow never comes!

3. Start with "I have …"  You have to "BE" in order to "DO" before you can "HAVE".  It does not go in the other direction (have - do - be).  A lot of people may have asked a person - what do you want to be when you grow up? They may have answered "a doctor".  And later found they were in a job they hated, working with a lot of sick & dying people.  They may have been better setting a goal "to have a cure for cancer".  That way there are more options open to them.  Another example:  A man worked out he wanted to have a million dollars.  He then worked out what he had to do - his answer - to BE a garbage collector.  He made a fortune from the garbage business!

4. Add the date

5. Add the date to be achieved by

6. I have found from personal experience that this works even better if you finish with the written statement "This, or something better, now manifests for me in, in totally satisfying and harmonious ways for the highest good of all concerned. Thank you God."

An example of well-written goal setting:
"I have a wonderful new job.  It is located within 30 minutes of where I live.
I work for 40 hours a week. The job is with a first rate company.  The management like me.  They appreciate my skills. The company is successful, modern, totally honest, ethical, well organised and very generous.  The company has good products and services which add to the quality of people's lives. My employer appreciates my skills.  It is a joy to work for them. I really like and respect the people I work with, and they me.  All the management people like me very much and are impressed with me personally and my work skills.  I have a new Pentium II computer at my desk.
I love what I do.
I am paid $60,000 per year.
Date:  13 March 2000
Date to be achieved by: 13  May 2000
This, or something better, now manifests for me, in totally satisfying and harmonious ways, for the highest good of all concerned.  Thank you God"

Then sign it.

7. Keep ALL your goals together in a RING BINDER.  DO NOT leave them lying around.  They have tremendous power, and later if you change your mind you don't want an old goal lying around sabotaging you.

8.  Now get into action.  Circumstances, people and opportunities will present themselves. 

9.  Update your goal setting regularly:

9A.  If you have achieved your goal - celebrate.  Cheer! Give yourself a gold star. Scribble "well done" on your goal.  And keep your goal to remind you that this works.

9B.  If you haven't achieved a goal, study it.  Do you still want it?  If so, write a new date on it.  But study it REALLY well.  It is my experience that often people have got what they wrote down - they just haven't realised it yet.  For example, a friend of mine wrote a goal around a relationship.  I pointed out that her male business partner fitted the goal – It was just that there was no mention of sex or intimacy in the goal!

9C.  Tear up and destroy the goals you no longer want.

Follow your intuition to determine what action you should take.  Remember that even if you take the 'wrong' action, you will learn something which will prepare you for eventual success.
If what you want does not materialize, it can be because there is something wrong with the goal you set.  Or it can be because there is a conscious or subconscious belief stopping you from getting it.
If this happens, when you intend to have the goal, instead of getting the goal your intuition may lead you to a person or book or situation which will help you to see what your negative belief is so that you can get rid of it.
