Generating The Commitment

A recent thought on goal setting inspired this post. Imagine if your commitment levels were set by how much you were stretched by your goals?

As a life coach, I work with highly driven individuals. Some of whom want to achieve success at all costs.

What surprises me the most is not how high they set their goals, but how committed they seem to be to achieve them. It would also seem that the bigger the goal, the higher the level of commitment. The higher the level of commitment, the more creativity and energy that is created as you take steps to achieve those gigantic goals.

I have ten questions that I would like you to ask yourself about your goals. My guess is that right now, your goals are far too small to release the motivation inside of you to truly reach your full potential and achieve greatness.

• Is your goal clearly defined and specific?
• Do you have a solid understanding of your own motives and behaviours and why it is you want to achieve this goal?
• Do you understand the full implications of the sacrifices required to reach your desired outcome?
• Can you visualise what it would look like if you were to achieve your goal?
• Do you have a long-term plan that is created to achieve the goal?
• Are you doing something every day that contributes to achieving your goal?
• Are those around you in your everyday life supportive of you achieving your goal?
• If you achieved your goal, would you make the lives of those around you better?
• When you think about your goal, do you become worried you won’t achieve it?
• Do you have the skills you require to face up to the tasks needed every single day that accumulate in your achieving your goal?

 

Remember, these questions were thought about in the context of long-term goals that are meant to inspire you to take action. Set huge goals that you only dream that you can achieve. Set yourself a long-term plan to gather the experience, knowledge and skillset required to chase down your dreams and scale every obstacle on the way. Motivation will flow through you like never before when you set goals that take you outside of your comfort zone, and inspire thought on a completely new level of thinking.

 

How do you set your goals? Are you setting them right ones? Or they are simply another form of limitation that you are setting on yourself? Get in touch to speak about how we could transform the way you think about goal setting, and ultimately transform the way you live your everyday life.
