Setting and getting your goals

Setting goals is fairly easy. The challenge is to get them, to reach them. Whether to cook a great dinner, go to a movie or make a move, we often get stuck at the gate. We often stay stuck in the "setting" mode. The why behind any goal has to be big enough to ease the challenge. Next time you set a goal, do it in writing, then also in writing, assess why you have chosen this goal? This relates to your values, not value in the moral sense, but value in "how important is this for me"? The deeper the value, the stronger your motivation will be. For example, losing weight to look good is not as deep as if you decide as part of your spiritual practice that your health is of the utmost importance and nutrition and exercise are part of this; or you want to grow healthy to see your grandchildren. This "why" step will help you move from the "setting a goal" to the "getting a goal".
