Goals on the Wall
Unlock Your Potential: The Power of Visible Goal Setting
Summary
Despite the significant impact of goal setting, surprisingly few people regularly write down their goals, and even fewer place them where they can see them daily. This article explores the benefits of both writing and displaying your goals, using the life ambitions of Minnie Driver and Genghis Khan as intriguing examples.
The Art of Setting Goals
There's timeless advice about setting goals that emphasizes simplicity and clarity: Every night, list six tasks you need to accomplish the next day, prioritizing them. Begin with the first task and work your way through, carrying over any incomplete tasks to the next day. This method fosters focus and productivity.
Goals can be set for various timeframes?"daily, weekly, monthly, annually, and even for your lifetime. You might also create goals for specific projects.
Inspiration from Minnie Driver
Recently, singer Minnie Driver was asked what drives her. Her response was both inspiring and reflective:
- To live fully and pursue every talent she possesses.
- To focus on what she can contribute each day rather than what she can gain.
- To have children, live by the sea, write music, build a solid partnership, and perhaps teach.
Driver’s mission statement is clear and thoughtful. It highlights not only her professional ambitions but also her personal desires.
Defining Your Own Goals
Consider what your main life goals are. Could you articulate them as clearly as Minnie Driver if asked? Reflect on aspirations such as:
- Becoming the best version of yourself.
- Assisting others in achieving their potential.
- Experiencing an extraordinary life.
- Contributing to the well-being of humans, animals, and the environment.
- Exploring the wonders of the world.
- Loving your neighbor as yourself.
Creating and routinely revisiting your list of life goals offers a guiding light for your journey. You can update your goals whenever you feel the need.
The Importance of Visibility
Goals can easily be forgotten if not regularly reviewed. Some people use sticky notes on their computers or software to display their goals. Personally, I place my goals on my wardrobe, where they remain in clear view. This constant reminder engages both my conscious and subconscious mind, enhancing my ability to achieve them with less conscious effort.
Making Progress
Find a prominent place to display your list of goals. For instance, my walls are already filled with reminders, so my wardrobe serves as the perfect spot. Today, one of my goals was to finish writing this article. With that accomplished, I can now move on to preparing for a class I'm teaching this evening.
A Lesson from Genghis Khan
Time waits for no one. Genghis Khan's life goal was to conquer the world. Although he established an empire twice the size of the Roman Empire, he passed away at 65, unable to fulfill his ultimate vision. His empire expanded even further after his death, thanks to the dedication of his heirs. Remarkably, genetic studies suggest that 1 in every 200 men alive today are descended from him. Some goals have enduring legacies!
Conclusion
What do Minnie Driver and Genghis Khan have in common? Both set clear life goals. While their ambitions vastly differ, both demonstrate the power of setting and striving towards defined goals.
In the end, your goals reflect your values and aspirations. Make sure they’re visible every day to keep you motivated on your journey to success.
