Doing What Thrills You!

Three clues to be more you and achieve your audacious aspirations!

No wonder some goals are not achieved! Most people are looking for that elusive magic formula for effective goal setting and achievement. When the answer is right above your nose!

If how you planned last year saw you fall short of your aspirations, best use your brilliant brain to do some self-analysis and ask yourself why?

Clue 1… You are the key to your activity; the answer is in the memory of your experience. You can plan all you like, but if the necessary activity does not involve doing what thrills you in some way everyday, you will either not reach your audacious aspirations or you will feel empty having done so. Track back in your memory for clues to what you will and will not do.

Clue 2… Planning is about the future, activity to make it happen is now. My resident philosopher Ian Dawes once said, “Everything looks easy when it is a long way away”. My friend Tim Noonan* says his focus is “living an awesome life”. What a great aspiration, it fits both what he wants for the future and what he does each day.

Clue 3… It is all about being engaged in the goals you set. Use your intellect and think them through, your intuition to know they are right for you and then your instinct to feel they fit with you.

I believe we are aspiring to be our better selves, the way to that better self is to live a better self every day.

When you live in the spirit of being your best, you are more likely to make the necessary decisions to propel yourself forward, do what is necessary and be more appreciative at the end of each day. Actually, you will also be more appreciated because you will achieve more daily and people will be happier being around you.

Be more you and do what thrills you!
