Where’s your Life heading?

A Balanced life will consider all 6 areas of our lives most people only have one area in their life where they have a mission.

How do you find balance? Goal setting. You need not focus on every area of your life everyday for that balance but periodically you need to check how you are doing in other areas. The best ways to do that is write your annual goals.

New Years Eve or New Years Day we often make resolutions. Resolutions seem like a good idea yet we fail to keep them. Our diets go out the window by week two and our exercise program barely started when the routine broke because it isn’t a routine yet. Our goal to increase our income by taking a course of study doesn’t work because there is no guarantee that once you have that paper your income will increase. There is more you have to do once you’ve gained the pass in the course. The hunt for a new job with a better pay will start tomorrow because today the workload is too heavy and you’re too stressed right now. Tomorrow never comes.

There is an underlying flaw with our resolution. It’s summed up in two words.

No Purpose.

The important purpose. It becomes a reason for for taking action . Purpose is the motivator that keeps you going once you start Purpose is what it takes to make changes in your life. When we have a purpose we have a mission in life. It doesn’t matter if it’s personal, in ways spiritual, relationship, wealth, success or career. It’s the engine that drives our mission.

Your resolution isn’t a mission in your life. The purpose is weak. To look good, lose weight, be healthier, earn more money are not your real mission.

If you’re serious about having a balanced life set goals that have a purpose. A real purpose comes from within the heart. It takes a few moments to go inside and reflect on what achieving your goal means to you. Looking good, being healthier having more money are superficial until we know WHY. Why is it important to you to look good. Why is it important to be healthier? Why is it important to you to have more money? Why is studying for your career important to you? Why are your spiritual goals important to you? Why do you want to change or begin a new relationship?

When you look at writing your goals for this year Look deeply for the, “Why”.

Once you know why. You have your mission. Then you only need to Decide what your first step is. Believe you can do it and Start. Reflect, Decide, Believe, Start on your goals for the coming year.

If goal setting isn’t your strong point and you don’t know how to go inside to discover your mission for next year there is a course I can recommend.
