Goals: The Hidden Dangers
Summary
Have you ever set a goal only to fall short? Many of us face this frustration, feeling deep down that we’ll never succeed. The problem might be in how we set our goals. Without a solid foundation, goals can be detrimental, leaving us discouraged. Understanding your "Why" can transform how you approach them.Article
Setting goals is a common practice, but how often have you set a goal and not achieved it? You might tell yourself, "Who am I kidding?" This mindset isn't uncommon, and it can be damaging. But there’s a key element that can change everything: your "Why."
The Importance of Your "Why"
Think of goals as being similar to a skyscraper. It might look impressive, but if it's built on a weak foundation, even a small disruption can bring it down. Similarly, without a strong "Why," your goals can crumble.
Your "Why" is the foundation that anchors your goals. It must be compelling and deeply rooted. Instead of setting generic goals like making more money, understand why you want that money. Is it to pay off debt, donate to charity, or provide for your family? Your reason fuels your motivation and commitment.
Reframing Financial Goals
Consider this shift: instead of deciding to make a certain amount of money, aim to earn it by focusing on your purpose. What will that money help you achieve? When your "Why" drives your actions, you're more likely to stick with your goals and see them through.
A Strong Foundation Prevents Failure
Without a clear "Why," goals become discouraging. You might give up at the first sign of difficulty. This lack of direction can sabotage your potential success, whether your goal is physical, financial, or social. So, commit to identifying your "Why" before setting any goals.
Discovering Your "Why"
Here are three questions to help find your "Why":
1. If money and work were not concerns, what would you do?
2. If you had excess money to give away, where would it go, and why?
3. Do you enjoy life? Why or why not? Remember, your past doesn’t define you; your envisioned future does.
When your foundation is sturdy, like a well-built skyscraper, challenges won’t knock you down. By establishing a clear "Why," you'll resist obstacles and more readily achieve your goals.
Conclusion
Without a foundational "Why," goals can be damaging. I challenge you to reflect on these questions, solidify your "Why," and then set goals aligned with it.
Find your purpose and let it guide you.
