If I were to ask you how you are you going on your goals 2009 what would your reaction be ?
Would you be ecstatic be able to tell me your doing great ? Or would you be putting your fingers in your ears, start singing a lahlahlah lah song and continue running in the opposite direction?
Sometimes you set goals with the best intentions & you start off going well. One thing eventually leads to another and slowly your original plans are not at the forefront of your mind, or maybe you realize it might not be the direction that you need to take afterall… Whatever the reason, remember to:
Be Positive
Its almost June – Middle of the year, a good time to take stock and see what you are and aren’t achieving and get prepared for the rest of the year. The key here i think is to remain positive, don’t be disheartened if there are things on your list that you haven’t been keeping up with, try to tick off the things you have done and what has been working for you to date. Afterall, a task or goalslist is only a intention of what you wanted to achieve, you do still need to remain flexible and open to opportunities which come your way and lets face it if we coud predict everything that was going to happen to us in life well it would be pretty boring.
If your a regular reader of my blog you probably would have come accross my goals and goals process for 2009, you can see here Part 1 & Part 2. As i wrote about in my original post i have my list stuck to my wall & I have been seeing it everyday since the begining of the year. Since about March, i have been avoiding reading my list as i knew it was no longer relevant to my direction, and i wasnt achieving all my goals. However, on the odd occasion i did catch small glimpses… I am extremely happy to see my Vision and Motto (which are much broader goals) are still current. I am still inline with my original vision, so it doesn’t matter that i haven’t done all on my task list, my original vision is still being achieved.
Sometimes we need permission to cut ourselves some slack and to give ourselves a pat on the back and acknowledge what we have achieved. I hope this gives you that permission if you need to have it
Hope all your goals are going well and if they are not, well why not revisit them for your “mid-year revision”.
On a site note: i am having issues with posting comments and catergories on my site. I appologise i do know its an issue, trying to fix it ASAP.
