Ever drive along and wonder why you are heading in the wrong direction?
Typically this how you go continually, as you are on auto pilot brooding about other things. What if you were doing this in other areas of your life, whether you realized it or not?
The Miriam-Webster compendium has a definition for goal, which states, 'the end toward which effort is directed? Given that a lot of people set targets, it is obvious that you need to set your direction, right?
The gloomy fact of the situation is if you don't set your direction, somebody else will, be it your manager, a partner, a mate? You get the picture. Its like you may be driving, but hey they?ve punched where you?re going in the sat-nav.
Before long, you've spent the nicest bit of 20 years in blind alley job, doing what folks wanted you to do, unaware that all along you've had choice in the problem.
Most individuals go through life pondering everything they do not want, and yet couching in terms that they suspect are positive. Do you know any individual that wants to stop smoking, to drink less, to eat less, for example. ?
These folks might have been thinking they have set a direction, but they haven't. You can?t drive forwards at speed while looking through your rear mirror.
The more we focus upon lacking on something, leaving it behind, giving it up, the more we end up being pulled towards it. You see there is very little to fill the void, nada to push you forwards, because you have got nothing to aim at!
If you're "trying" to lose pounds you ought to be targeted on what you want to be, and how you'd be acting if you were your dream weight.
If you want to stop smoking, and you spend all of your time giving up smoking, focusing on the cigarettes, it is not very likely to work. Perhaps you go for a patch, but then you substitute one problem for another, although not where you want to be!
What is the lesson here? Set your own direction and focus upon that, and you?re more likely to end up where you want to be.A superb way of doing this is the employment of online vision boards within Facebook.
So be the driver rather than the chauffeur in your life.
