Summer’s End with New Goals Ahead
Summer traditionally in Ontario is over. The leaves are beginning to change colour and the farmers are harvesting their crops. The nights are cooler which makes easy sleeping. During the day though we are experiencing warm breezy weather telling me that summer is surely still with us.
This time of year brings new life to me as it should to all. We can reflect and give gratitude to the wonderful summer we had. Take stock of the goals we had set and accomplished or not. Do not trouble yourself if you have been unable to accomplish your goals.
Re-evaluate. Re-think. Re-set.
With just three months left in 2007 it is a wonderful time to set a goal to be in your hands by the end of the year. Reread S.M.A.R.T GOALS and set a new one today. Think about what Andy Andrews told us in The Traveler’s Gift and The Seven Decisions before you set your goal. Without a clear and defined mind your goals are going to be scattered and seem unreachable.
The more belief you have that your goal is already in your possession, the less time it will take to achieve. You cannot just “wish”, you must have a burning desire in your core that will propel you to your goal.
I have set new goals. Some are small, some our so huge, I have no idea how they will transform into my life. I do have though that burning desire. I can feel the earth beneath my feet and smell the fresh cut wood of my new house! The more I visualize the closer it becomes.
If you do not have a goal, how will you ever know if you can accomplish it? Grab a blank piece of paper right now and start to write. Write them down on some old business cards that you have tucked away somewhere. Look at your goal cards as often as you can during the day – especially first thing in the morning and just before you go to bed. Dream your goals.
