A DARING ADVENTURE

I was exploring awhile ago, surfing the net - hence I was pondering some goal setting on how to get rich, being happy and how to find myself. Searching on how to engage a smarter method in a achieving your goal are always been available through the world wide web nor on books. It has been a mystery and a non stop job of explaining a Smarter goals. However, I encourage you to read more resource to acquire more understanding and find new cool stuff especially on professionals who wants life coaching. I, don't consider myself enough to guide someone through life but through this I may inspire and enlighten one's life.

Learning to write something towards goal and without knowing how to set it up nor start it within his self is like creating the most famous recipe around the world without any access on what utensils to use, kitchen or even the main ingredient. It may sound great at first nor in theories, but in the long run it is doubtful to everybody.

The approach for this topic would take most of your time, you might be wasting it if you only have few minutes to spend on this one. I'm not being flippant by saying this, some people might think I'm being unreal, though this one is a big taboo. Speaking hypothetically, we will be using some goals that I have read about.

Each one of us knows our goal, or rather the one's the we will tackle here but that isn't always the case to other people. Most of us doesn't have any idea of what they really want to achieve in life and for me I say that's normal. I'll not try to dig deeper on how you find your purpose in life in this post, but let me share to you several point of views toward discovering the path to your goals.

Here are some of those:

GOAL CLARIFICATION

If one day you wake up and could do anything, with anybody and be anywhere you wanted, what would you do? There are no constraints whatsoever. This has nothing to do being sensible or reasonable. If you want to spend time engaging in sports, partying all night with a celebrity or watching the sun rise over the mountain with Shakira, you may go for it.This is your dream day.

The idea is not to set this as your goal, but it is to confirm several things you reall desire out of life. People are brilliant at compromising their future and believe me, it's useless and waste of time so don't be either one of them.

So plan perfectly, write down what you really want. Always keep in mind that we have a 24 even filled hours to fill and we even got a borrowed time to travel each place like a time travel machine. It will you from one event to the next in seconds, which is absolutely great. When you're done writing these things, try to ponder and ask yourself; what does it tells you? How close could you even get near to that lifestyle? Who are involved? Are you on track? What do you look like? Are you moving towards that, or you just realize having a life like that is impossible?What do you feel having a life similar to the ones you written down? Is it a worth of your hassle and effort in achieving it?

Remember - 

The surest way to fail and loose eveything is to adopt the belief that it isn't ok to fail.

Failure is fact in our everyday living as well as getting use to it. 

Let me share to you my goal as an example and that you may run through the process that will give you an opportunity to achieve your desires.

My goal for this year as a resolution is to gain 50 clients more out of my existing client for my services in optimizing sites and reach a target monthly income.

Do you ever wonder how to get that clients knowing the competition in the market? No, neither do I, but when you narrow it down to the self-development field, it's not that hard to gain those things. As I post this, and depending on how you comprehend self development all I can think is that it is a pretty big goal.

Therefore I am searching for books that can help me out and thanks to the book "How to be Rich and Happy" I just found out the best plan for it. Think about those figures, if you ever plan to launch a business like mine. And when I say, think - I am not implying you to throw the towel in just because it seems like an ocean too deep for you to swim. What I mean is research your market, plan your strategy and stack the deck in your favor. You may search and read Naomi and Dave's book "How To Launch The Shit Out of Your Ebook". Here I gained knowledge in launching one's own goal. 

Not all of these I told you need to be followed but they give you the best chance to achieve what you want.

WRITE IT DOWN

I read several excerpt that talks about the importance of writing your goals. However, I witness few of them explain the rationale behind this logic. Some may try to explain it, but they often make a half-assed attempt.

I suppose telling people to do something is alright, but a great percentage is effective when telling them the reason why they have to. Have you ever differentiate going to a tour and taken no notes and you did take notes? Which one you remember most clearly, presuming that all things are in balance and you didn't skip on every event?

Even if never referred back to your course notes you can still remember the latter event more quickly. The reason behind is you are taking down notes and is using a different part of your brain rather than just listening to something. In short, you are duplicating and giving a greater chance of recalling each information at a later date.

For an instance, mind maps can also work so well for some people. This is useful to people who are more visual compared to auditory people. Visual people can more likely strong to remember a map rather than a bunch of text. That's the reason why - kids are classified during learning- books on audio for the auditory kids, while books and illustrations for visual kids.

The act of writing down your goal helps you in several ways. Mainly, you are just likely facing a mirror- making it the mirror as your goal. Believe me, if you wont write down, a lot of unnecessary stuff will be floating in your mind that is unlikely to happen no matter how brilliant it is. So by writing it down you are concentrating and demonstrating the importance of your goal.

Setting up a space between your needs and wants. In this case, it can help you work out and manifest in all those subtle coincidence that may arise. 

Imagine you are in a room crowded with people talking and shouting, and then you're in a converation, what do you think the possibility that you can hear your name if somebody mention it in another conversation ten feet away? Even if a lot of people talking between you and the other person using your name, you are highly to pick it out. That is how unconscious mind work that constantly on the look out for stuff it thinks you need to know about.

GOAL STATEMENT

In this section, we may may know 3 different approaches. Two of them may come similar and the other may need a few preparation. These approaches comes in 3 P's that stands for Personal, Present Tense and Positive.

Personal obviously menas it has to be your own and only you can achieve it. In short, not for your friend or other individual. It has to be your goal and something you want. Always keep in mind that never to have a goal just because someone wants it for you.

A lot of us would probably agree with this, even to students- how can someone take an engineering course if all he wants is to teach. Taking up a course just because of what his parents wants and so forth...

Present Tense just merely taking down your goal as though it has already been achieved and should be updated.

Positive means you desire and you want it for sure and not you want get rid of.

Each of these P's have downsides. Firstly, if your goal is a huge one and you're still in a long way. Secondly, you may be the type of person who's mind thins "Oh if I have already got that I may as well have that extra slice of deep fried chocolate pizza and a gallon of beer then”.

Once you have the goal statement, try to do this.

Sit in your favorite couch and in your favorite corner in your house, take several deep breaths. Make sure exhale is half longer than the inhale and relax. When you are chilled enough, you may imagine having your goal. I mean really imagine with ALL your senses. Experience the feeling of being there, once you get there try to see yourself delaing with obstacles. Think of sticking points that may arise and visualize yourself surviving. By that, you may see yourself more confident and overcoming issues without necessarily knowing what they are.

Visualization is powerful and I would advice you to do this often as preferably on a daily basis.Have you ever wondered why you get some of your best ideas arise while your conscious mind is occupied? You could be taking a shower, asleep, driving or even a bit worse for wear with drink.Unconscious part of your mind is where the real computing power lies, not that I am condoning such behavior,  but it explains why a lot of geniuses out there are a bit too fond of alcohol and herbs.

GETTING SMARTER AND HAVE FUN

There is a Youtbe Demo I viewed on about SMARTER goals if you want to check that out.

Specific: Are your goals specific?Can anyone understand what I am trying to achieve?

Measurable: goals need to be measurable.

Action Oriented: Action taken are always required in a goal. Goals have to involve actions otherwise they will just stay as wishes and stay in your dreams.

Realistic: Goal needs to be real and true. Everything done for the first time may fail but it is not a reason to quit.

Time bound: Timeframe of your goal, if you are still on track or going too far away from your focus.

Ecological: Setting a goal- it may always be for you and not for others but consider the impact on you and those around you. Always remember to consider stuffs like health, finances and sanities as well.

Reward: Achieve your goal, you're getting there. . . Successful in getting what you want? Well then, experience the reward of having those goals. Haven't you tried imagining those things when you're still far from your target? So, now you have it- make the most out of it.Keep it up!

Whatever your goal is, make sure it is fun chasing it same as the stars gazing its skies. We just have a borrowed time and we don't have that long time on this so called mother Earth and we should be enjoying what we do have not sacrificing time now for something that may or may not happen in future.
