Every year millions of people set goals going into the new year. Many of these people never realize their goals, and they become discouraged. Perhaps you have experienced this?
So, what’s the problem? Why do most people never see their goals come to life? The answer is…they have the process backwards.
A Goal Is A Place To Come From,
Not A Place To Get To
Most people look at their life as it appears to be currently, they set goals for what they would like to have happen, and then they hope, wish, and dream about life changing. The problem? They have not changed. They are consistently doing the same things and being the same kind of person that is responsible for the life they are living now, and yet, they are expecting something new to occur.
When Your Internal Reality Shifts, Your External Reality Must Follow
This is the universal law of cause and effect (also called Karma). What comes to you is a direct reflection of what came out of you. What you are experiencing now is the result, the consequence, of actions taken or not taken in the past.
Look into your future and imagine the version of you that has accomplished everything you have set out to achieve and experience. That version of you is the only version of you that is capable of achieving your goals. ‘You’ as you are being currently cannot do it, because if you could, you would already be experiencing what you desire. The secret isn’t that you must become more, or become something you are not. The secret is you must fully step up and into what already exists inside of you as a possibility. Up until this moment, you have chosen, whether consciously or unconsciously, to play smaller than you are capable of, and not express you fullest potential.
It’s time to truly live your life. It’s time to make the next 12 months the greatest experience imaginable. Are you ready? Let’s do this.
Here’s a life-changing exercise you can use to create your ideal 2020 and actually make it real.
The January Letter:
Opening line: “It’s January 1st 2021. Wow! What an amazing year it’s been. I’ve experienced so many blessings and opportunities over the past 12 months. Where do I begin?
(Remember: this letter is written in the past tense as if it’s already happened. It’s a letter of gratitude. Speak it as if it’s already occurred)
(For each of the below life areas, go into detail about all of the wonderful accomplishments and milestones that occurred over the past year (be as specific as possible), challenges you faced as well as how you overcame them, and the person you became as a result of the lessons you’ve learned along your journey, and how you turned your hardships into a gift you can use to help others. Be clear on the actions you took, the actions you stopped taking, and the way you were showing up in the world)
In regards to my health…
In regards to my relationship…
In regards to my family…
In regards to my business/income…
In regards to my spiritual life…
In regards to my contribution…
In regards to my personal growth…
And any other areas you’d like to include that are important in your life.
End the letter in gratitude and excitement for the blessings and opportunities that are to come in 2022.
Read the letter when you wake up and before you go to sleep every day. Internalize it’s message, and live each day from the perspective of the letter. Live as that version of you NOW. Constantly ask yourself: “What would X do in this situation?” (X= your best self, powerful nickname you have given yourself, the version of you who has accomplished and experienced your goals already, etc”)
I know the power of this exercise personally, and I hope you find value in it as we enter into a new decade!
May your 2020 be prosperous. All my love
