How often have you heard that setting goals are the key to success?
You might not be surprised to learn that setting goals is only one part of being successful.
In this article, I explain why so many people don’t reach their goals and how you can be successful in whatever you want to do in life.
What is a goal?
A goal is often defined as a target that can be reached by taking steps that can be measured and accomplished.
Truth is, a goal is no more than a want or need. A desire or wish is less real and usually only lasts for a short time. That is essentially what a goal is.
What is an intention?
Intention has its own existence.
Intention isn’t something that you do; it’s something that you connect to.
Dr. Wayne Dyer
Intention is a remarkable tool that can truly transform your life. Picture this: you embark on a journey of intentional living, not just in your career but in your very own existence. By embracing intention with the fervor of a roaring lion, you’ll unlock its immense power and radiate it effortlessly to your cherished clients.
Now, let me share a revelation with you. Intention resides within the vast, boundless realm of consciousness. It’s not some external force you desperately seek; no, my friend, it dwells deep within your core and envelops your very being.
Think of it as a magnetic force, an ethereal lightning rod that unites you with the all-encompassing tapestry of consciousness itself. To harness intention’s might, we must approach it with gratitude, love, and a profound embodiment of our senses: the sights that captivate us, the sounds that stir our souls, and the emotions that course through our veins.
Start by cultivating intention in your own life. Visualize your dreams, imbue them with the pulsating energy of your desires, and set forth with unwavering commitment.
As you master the art of intention, you’ll witness its miraculous effects unfold before your very eyes. It’s an awe-inspiring dance between your deepest aspirations and the vast cosmic symphony of life.
Nobody doesn’t want to win the lottery. A goal is a want, wish, or need that you can reach by taking steps. It’s not just a wish or a desire.
What’s the difference between a goal and intention?
Don’t get me wrong; goal-setting has its merits and can propel us toward specific outcomes while fostering discipline. However, let me reveal to you the true essence and extraordinary power of intentions, my friends.
First off, goals have a future-oriented nature. They whisk us away from the richness of the present moment, trapping us within the confines of our limited, analytical minds. On the other hand, intentions reside in the realm of the here and now. They beckon us to fully embrace the present experience, infusing it with purpose and meaning.
Now, let’s dig deeper. Goals tend to anchor themselves to external achievements. We often believe that by attaining a particular goal, we will magically feel a certain way. For instance, imagine a goal of amassing a staggering fortune of 10 million dollars.
We convince ourselves that achieving this milestone will bring us overwhelming fulfillment. Yet, my dear friends, if we were actually to reach such a lofty goal, we would soon realize that it doesn’t fundamentally alter how we truly feel about ourselves and our existence.
Moreover, goals keep us fixated on a specific destination. When we adopt a mindset solely focused on achieving goals, we may inadvertently overlook the abundance and beauty that already graces our lives.
It breeds a mentality of scarcity, making us believe that what we presently possess is simply not enough. We become so hyper-focused on the desired outcomes that we neglect to savor the wondrous experiences and transformative processes along the way.
And when we fail to reach our predetermined destination within the desired timeframe or in the precise manner we envisioned, suffering we endure.
So, let intentions be your guiding light. Embrace their radiant power, for they exist harmoniously within the tapestry of the present moment. Embrace the profound impact intentions can have on your journey, transcending the confines of external achievements and basking in the abundant beauty that already surrounds you.
Embrace the transformative processes and revel in the joyous experiences that weave the fabric of your life.
Remember, my friends, it is through intention, not just goals, that we unlock the true essence of our existence.
How to set an intention?
The first step in setting an intention is a need or want that can be met. First, you have to choose one of the following:
- What do you want?
- Where do you want to be?
- Your status, career, or qualifications?
You can set an intention to be anything you want, wish, or need that you can get by taking steps.
Then, you break the goal down into small steps or actions.
The difference is that by living the intention, you are acting “as if” you already have accomplished that. You are a person who does such things.
Goals that can be reached are ones that you have some control over and can use to track your progress.
Getting to long-term intentions that will change your life takes short- and medium-term steps.
What actions are required?
Intention requires action on your part. First, you need to figure out what you need to do to reach that end state. Your first step should always be to write down your intention.
Putting your intention on paper, and this is one time when you need a real pen and paper, gives them their own life. Keep working at it until you feel you’ve got it. You’ll know when that is.
Writing a plan is one of the most important things you can do to reach your intentions. Without a plan, you will have to change your long-term goal over time to fit your life. You will eventually turn the intention into a wish, and wishes only come true by chance.
Analyze the results
Then you need to look at each intention and figure out in detail how you’re going to reach it. This means making a detailed plan of the actions that need to be taken to reach each goal. Usually this is working backward from the end state.
For example, if your intention is to be a millionaire (your should be more meaningful and deeper. Go with it for now.) Then you begin to act and think like a millionaire. Your intention would be “I am a millionaire.”
You then begin to your live your life as a millionaire would. The only thing missing is the bank account. That’ll catch up, though. Because remember, it’s not a goal, a wish, or a dream. It is your intention. You are making a decision.
Then, these actions become smaller wins for the short term, leading to bigger wins for the long term.
What steps do I need to take today?
Ask yourself every day, “What steps do I need to take today?” It should all be planned out by now, so look at your plan and make sure you do each step every day. If you find that you need more steps, add them to the plan.
Review your achievements every week and month
Review your progress for the week every week. Check what you’ve already done and what you might have forgotten. Change your plan for the week or month coming up.
Your plan should always include what you will do today, tomorrow, this week, next week, before the end of the month, in the next 3 months, 6 months, etc.
Always keep track of what you find.
What if things go wrong?
Intentions can be hard because they push you out of your comfort zone and make you try new things. At least, they should; if yours doesn’t yet, you still need to go deeper.
You have to face your fear of failure and take risks if you want to be successful. You will “fail.” It is a given you need to accept. Only, it’s not a failure, it’s a learning and growth opportunity.
Expect setbacks, they are a normal part of the process.
Conclusion:
As we wrap up this empowering journey together, remember that the key to accomplishing your intention lies within your hands.
You can transform your desires into reality by embracing a strategic and purpose-driven approach.
Take consistent action, review your progress regularly, and embrace setbacks as stepping stones toward success.
Embody the qualities of authenticity, personal growth, and emotional intelligence as you embark on this remarkable adventure.
The time is now, brother, to seize the life you’ve always envisioned and make it a beautiful reality.
