Hey there.
This will be a quick post today. I have a lot more coming up about the subject of goal-setting and taking action, but wanted to share a quick thought:
One of the worst, and yet most prevalent, myths of goal-setting is that it should be small and manageable….So you don’t overwhelm yourself, don’t fail and lose confidence, don’t cause your brain to retreat into flight mode etc etc.
Um….
No.
You actually want something that keeps you on your toes enough for the duration; so that as soon as you set or decide the goals, your mind starts throwing up objections to them.
You want to be overloaded, as this forces an adaptation inside you.
Most people underestimate how much action they are capable of. Most problems in life are caused by running into a barrier or an obstacle, and accepting it instead of the goal.
Understanding the next two sentences CHANGED. MY. LIFE.
Most of the time, the barrier is NOT the issue; it’s either a weak ideal scene/intention, or an inadequate magnitude of action.
Action disappears FALSE barriers.
The point of having a strong and clear Ideal Scene is to compel you into action, and to tackle obstacles and barriers AS they arrive!
And, with a high enough magnitude of action, you will find that most barriers can be simply blasted through,
…or…
..simply DISSOLVED by ignoring or disagreeing with them!
More to come on this soon.

I think you hit the nail on the head with goal setting – we should all strive to have large goals with well-defined steps to reach them (that make up smaller goals along the way). Sure, we don’t want to overwhelm ourselves, but we don’t want to sell ourselves short either.
Hi Stephanie, thanks for the kind words (you have a GREAT blog too…I’m devouring it now and signed up to follow!).
I agree completely about well-defined steps, but I always encourage people to strengthen their ideal scene/intention first, which leads to action.
People naturally want to define steps before they start (which is good), but they then foresee problems that may not actually occur in reality, and so adjust their plan on a hunch or shy away from taking relevant action (which is bad)!
