Spiritual

Setting a spiritual goal - what a noble concept. What a lofty idea. And yet very esoteric. You can't touch it, see it, or hear it. Yet many people sense they can "feel it". How do we go about setting spiritual goals? Do you even believe that we have a spiritual dimension to our existence? This web site is not dedicated to convincing you that you do. (that is for another day....I believe that YOU MOST DEFINITELY HAVE A SPIRITUAL DIMENSION).

So for the purposes of this web site we have to assume that your spiritual side of your life requires goals. That is, you need to improve your spiritual life somehow. An improved spiritual life will make you a better person, it will balance out your whole Success Matrix. Developing spiritual goals will help you through the tough times. It will give you hope. Remember the success we are after is complete, not in just one area.

How do you set goals for spirituality? How do you set goals for hope? Why even talk about hope? Well, the answer is like most things in life is easy, but VERY hard to accomplish. 

No, hope is different. Hope gives us a vision for the future. Hope is a positive looking word. It has such a nice, soft cuddly sound to it. Yet it is so hard to attain. I guess the best approach to hope, as it relates to setting your goals, would be increasing your faith. Faith in something greater then yourself. I believe strongly in faith. I believe that faith and hope go hand in hand. If you have hope for the future, you have everything. You are unstoppable. If you are unstoppable, then you can achieve anything.

My whole mission is based on my faith. By helping YOU reach your goals, I will will reach mine. I believe that the service of others is the greatest expression of hope and faith that there is. My faith teaches me that by giving my talents to help others succeed, my success is inevitable. My success is predicated on my ability to give who I am to others. My mentor in this philosophy is Mother Theresa. Pure. Simple. Faith.

Like me, you have unique gifts and talents. Find out what they are. Make that one of your goals. Discover your talents, and then give it away. Give it to others. Use your talent to help others succeed. It will be the easiest and most joyous thing you've done. Give your natural talent to help others. I believe these gifts and talents are God-given. You were born with them. They are the ones that you are supposed to focus on and then pass on to others. Since they are God-given they will also be the ones that will come the easiest and bring you the most joy and satisfaction. Your goals should focus on discovering these talents, these God given gifts. Find your gift, and you will find peace and contentment in all that you do.

The examples below are a simplified version of what ONE major goal may look like. The toughest part for any goal setting is to break it down into daily tasks (Step 5). The tasks in this example are actually something you could do in the first day or week of reaching your goal. It was done this way on purpose so as to give you a starting point. Remember, Goal setting is a DAILY TASK. Get into the habit of reviewing your goals on a daily basis.
