Earlier today I was digging through the contents of my childhood bedroom growing up and found a list of 5 goals that I had made my Junior year of high school.
Reflecting upon the goals I had set more than eight years prior, I finally realized a couple of things:
- The power of visualizing your goals: Visualizing your goals allows you to simply and eloquently put your dreams into a time capsule that can be reviewed at a later time and date. What better way to track your progress over time than with a single sentence or simple picture?
- Think to yourself: Have you ever written or drawn out your goals, hopes and / or dreams?
- If yes, how often did you review these items to check your progress?
- The power of reflection: I tend to associate the word reflection with a spiritual connotation, although that’s not always the case. Periods of reflection can allow you to slow down, smell the roses and actually learn something from all the events we experienced on a daily, weekly, monthly, etc. basis.
- Life moves fast, and sometimes we don’t make enough time to sit back and actually reflect upon our experiences.
- Make time for periods of reflection so you can actual learn something from the events of your life.
Take time to reflect upon your goals — as I was, I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the results of your miniature soul searching session.
