This week I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about goal setting and intentions- more specifically my lack of consistency with the goals and intentions I set at the beginning of the year.
(Life has thrown some curve balls in the form of crazy schedules, illness, snow delays and the like that have made it a bit difficult to keep the momentum going.)
With everything going on many of the habits that keep me on track have fallen by the wayside leaving me a bit aimless. I mean, sure I’ve been doing some mindset work and meeting with clients, but I haven’t been keeping up with the things that are going to ultimately move me forward and get me where I want to be this year.
In fact I had a moment this week when I asked myself…Lamisha, what the hell are you doing??
One of my clients described it perfectly when he said he felt like a drifter. That’s it!!
When you are moving through life, just going through the motions with no focus, no endgame, nothing that you are working toward, you often end up being a bit of a drifter.
As an entrepreneur, I’ve always felt more grounded with the consistent habits of setting weekly/monthly goals, creating daily task lists, and keeping the momentum moving forward and it’s not for the reasons you may think.
Sure, all of those things may help me to achieve my goals, but more importantly they put me in the VIBRATION to be inspired to do the things that will help me achieve my goals. I’m talkin’ energy baby!
Doing those things consistently keeps me inspired, motivated, excited, and brimming with ideas for new projects, articles, programs, etc. And when I’m not doing those things…well I often feel a bit flat.
So, why am I sharing all of this with you?
I’m sharing it because I know there are some (likely many) of you who are also drifting through life at the moment.
You’re likely getting up and going to work, doing all the necessary things you need to do to get by, but you don’t really have an aim…a focus…a goal that gets you excited in the morning.
You’re going with the flow and seeing where it takes you. (And listen, there’s no shame in that if that’s what you really want.)
But, for those of you who desire more I ask:
Where are you going?
And when I ask that what I’m really asking is what are you currently working toward?
How are you expanding?
What are your goals/intentions and better yet…are you moving toward them?
If your answer is…”I don’t know.” then my friend, you have some work to do and I encourage you to begin by asking yourself what you want out of life (or maybe start with just this year).
Once you have some things on your list, it’s time to commit to making them happen.
The truth is MOST people have things they may “want” to do, but very few of things that they are “committed” to doing (and believe me there is a huge difference between the two).
Which category do you fall into?
I believe we all have the ability to be, have, and do whatever we choose, but we first must have some idea of where we are going.
And I’ll tell you a little secret: When you set your intentions & commit to the journey, the Universe sprinkles your path with more magic and miracles to make it even better.
I promise, you don’t want to wake up in 20-30 years only to realize you’ve been drifting through life when you’ve always wanted more. It’s time to create what you desire and there is no better time than now.
So friends…where are you going?
