Mark Twain said it best when he stated:
"I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problemis that I can't find anybody who can tell me what they want"
Most people know what they "don't" want
Most people think they know what they do want
But - not many people are specific enough to make their dreams, thoughtsand ideas come alive to themselves never mind the person they are speakingto.
A couple of simple questions for you:
* If you had to describe to me what you thought success was for you, could you do it?
* If you had to tell me what your biggest goal is - could you do it?
Simple enough? Perhaps!
Imagine your goal was "cold porridge" could you make it sound interesting enough for me to want to try it?
Because to me that is the biggest test of any goal. Can you make it interesting enough for me to believe in it? Can you make it come alive in such a way that YOU believe in it? Would you be willing to eat cold porridge based on your own description? How about immerse yourself in it? Weird? perhaps- but I hope it has you thinking hard and long about how.
If your goals don't pass the cold porridge test, it's definitely time to:
* Change your goals and / or
* Change the way you think about them
