Reaching Your Goals

“It is good to have an end to journey towards;
but it is the journey that matters in the end.”
Ursula LeGuin

When we have a dream, goal or idea burning to be accomplished our focus is on achieving it. Ideas pop into our heads and as we start taking action steps our enthusiasm is pretty high. Then life steps in and things happen to slow us down or you become discouraged.

Welcome to the human race!

As Ursula LeGuin, states in the quote above, it is good to have a goal, but what matters are the steps you are taking and your attitude.

Reaching your goal is like playing a game of cards. At first the cards are shuffled, this is the time you are brainstorming, evaluating and researching ideas. Dealing the cards, you are creating an action plan that works for you. Playing the game, you are taking action steps. Someone wins the game, you reached your goal. Everyone throws in their cards, you start thinking what’s next.

As you can see, the successes are achieving your action steps instead of reaching your goal. Most people when they reach their goal start thinking what is next.

This can be a good thing. It enables us to keep growing and become the successful person we have always wanted to be.

I am your Fairy God Mother and will grant you any wish you desire. Take your time thinking about it.

Play the game of cards by brainstorming, creating an action plan, taking the action steps and reaching your goal.
