Achieving Your Goals Means Being Present in Your Current Reality

by Gary De Rodriguez

The only reason you have not achieved your goals in the past is because somewhere along the way you lost your focus on them. Make this the year of your power and fulfillment where your heart opens, you contribute more, and you walk your road in a sacred way.

To Become More Present, Ask Yourself:

1. What feelings and behaviors do you experience that you no longer desire? What causes you to reach for a new goal?

2. In what personal or professional environments do you experience these feelings that you no longer wish to have?

3. What are you experiencing specifically? What are you seeing, hearing and feeling when you have the experience you no longer desire?

To Achieve What You Desire, Ask Yourself:

1. What is your goal? What do you desire instead?

2. Are your goals aligned to your values? What do you value about their achievement? What does the achievement of your goal really do for you?

3. What are the milestones between where you are in the present state and the goal that tells you that you are on the right track? Set a minimum of three milestones to mark your achievements.

4. What will you be seeing, hearing and feeling at each point along the way? Identify the milestone markers.

5. Who will you become upon achieving your goal? What will you be seeing, hearing and feeling upon the successful realization of your goal? Be in the emotional state of achieving your goal as if it has already happened; imagine the rewards of your success attained.

Resource Planning:

1. What resources do you already have that will move you from your present state to your goal and outcome?

2. What resources do you require? And how will you get them? Identify your strategy.

3. What is the first step today you require to take to achieve your goal and take your life from the present state to the next level of success? Identify the steps you are committed to take for your success. I know many of us look at setting goals for the year as a tedious process, but we require to always remember that resting underneath our cranium is the most powerful computer on the planet waiting for the data input. Either we will install exquisite software that expedites the journey or software that is incomplete, flawed, and filled with viruses.

You will get what you focus upon. Like gravity, it is a universal law.
