Dissatisfaction: Before we can enjoy our new found sense of excitement, anticipation and often much needed energy boost that comes with creating a new-year plan, it is common that dissatisfaction is apparent in at least one or more areas of life. Dissatisfaction breeds change. Dissatisfaction is a healthy motivator to stretch, invent, or re-engineer parts of our lives. Every great invention of our time was born out of a sense of dissatisfaction and a desire for circumstances to improve. Change, growth and improvement are the order of the day. Dissatisfaction is a sign it’s time for change. It is the signal to move off first base and begin heading to second.

 

Possibility: Dissatisfaction asks the question, “What do I want to be better or different?” This question opens up numerous possibilities dependent on our personal preferences and values. From a list of possibilities, our goals can be designed. As we pursue these possibilities giving them our best shot, life becomes more exciting, fun and rewarding. We move from boredom to anticipation. Imagine it is Christmas Eve. Who is bored on Christmas Eve? The world is filled with excitement and anticipation of both the moment and the promise of tomorrow. Possibilities are like Christmas Eve.

 

Happiness: One client, when asked her goal stated she wanted to be happy. “Happiness is not a goal,” I replied. “Happiness is not an external thing that can be acquired like a new car or home. Happiness is the internal result of stretching and expanding our awareness as we fully express our truth, talents, purpose and goals in life.” External things serve to make us more comfortable. Only growth, expansion and awareness make us truly happy. As we begin to create new goals, the floodgates open up showing us endless opportunities. With opportunities come experience and with experience comes expansion and greater awareness, offering the gift of happiness. 

 

The purpose of any goal is to provide us incentive to expand, develop and raise our awareness. With new awareness come new opportunities we would have missed before. As we make conscious changes, moving past our fears and limitations of old conditioning, we are free to pursue and achieve even bigger goals and enjoy greater happiness. Our new found awareness enhances the quality of our lives in every area.   The mind once expanded can never revert back. The highest reward of any goal is not getting it, but rather who you become by it. It is a simple process, but it does require risking change.

 

Letting Go: We can’t get to second base if we are attached to staying on first! In order for the first three steps to take hold in our lives, we must be willing to let go of our secure comfort zones and step out into the unknown. It is said the masses avoid both losing and winning. The average person seldom tackles more than they are certain they can handle, remaining in their comfort zone, setting small goals that neither fulfill nor excite them. We have to boldly release the fears and limitations of our past and leap out for the ideas that excite us. Brian Tracy, the well-known motivational speaker says, “Every person has 4 ideas a year that could make them a million dollars.” Does that possibility excite you? Let go of the old, useless stuff in your mind, your home and your life. Make room for the new.   Forget small. Forget safe. Hit your home run!

Dreams are the Seeds of Reality: Take the lid off your dreams. Let your imagination run wild. Imagine your life 15 months from now. What new and wonderful things can you create? It is said that we often overestimate what we can do in one week’s time, and we vastly underestimate what we are capable of doing in one year’s time. In the words of James Allen:
