A while back there was a thread about making and reaching goals. One of the recommendations was to write down your goals. And in addition, to say your goals out loud. The concept here being that if you write or say your goals, you will more likely own up to them and "make" them happen. It is fact that those who write and/or say their goals are more likely to reach their goals. I firmly believe this to be true.
There is another side to this though. In writing and/or speaking about goals, it is important to be very specific in what your goals are. There is a power in the written and spoken word. One must always be willing to accept the outcome.
Back in March, upon my return from the B&P 2009 meet-up and after joining a mastermind group, I re-wrote my goals. And I have been following my plan and revisiting my goal sheet often. Well, just about 3 weeks ago I again went back through my goal sheet and one thing in my financial goal section jumped out at me. One of the goals that I had written down was "not have a J.O.B." with a date of October 2009. Obviously the meaning behind this was to not have to rely on the income from having a J.O.B. So, I quickly reworded my goal to reflect the real meaning. Ironically, last week Monday, I was notified that the J.O.B. that I currently have will be dissolved effective September 1st of 2009.
Now I have full faith and trust that this is right where I am supposed to be to get to where I am going, so, I look at this as an awesome opportunity to take advantage of. A time for me to turn my hobbies into real businesses. No holds barred and full steam ahead. The timing may not be optimal, but this might just be the push I need to get me onto the next leg of my life journey. Things like this present themselves to me often and when they do, I am always catapulted forward with an immense spike upward in personal growth.
Have you ever had something you had not exactly planned for turned out to be "just what you needed". When looking back at past events in your life that you initially thought were "bad" do you find they turned out being just right? Is this Peerless' "luck"? Is it attitude? What are your thoughts?
