Do you set goals? Can setting goals be hurting you rather than helping you? if you don’t want to set yourself up for disappointment by setting more goals then read on…

While doing archery once with a friend I had a realisation. we were all aiming for the bulls eye, but not often getting it.

I noticed that none of us were in any way disappointed by this. When we hit the bulls eye it was an added bonus, but we were enjoying simply having a target to aim at and the closer we got the more our sense of achievement was raised.

I thought “what if we had a goal to hit the bulls eye everytime?” What if I had arrived here, thinking that “my goal is to hit that bulls eye everytime.”

It sounds ridiculous but that is how many people live who set goals and then what happens when they don’t achieve them all is that they become disappointed.

I realised that having targets are far more empowering than having goals, so I don’t do any goal setting anymore…I set targets. If I hit them, great and if I don’t then I am generally close and can still feel good about it.

What happens to a soccer player if he misses the goal by 1 inch? he actually feels more pain than if he missed it by 1 metre! What happens to the archer who misses the bulls eye by 1 inch? Instead of getting 10 points she gets 8 points.

It is also important to have a clear vision in which to move towards. As you evolve so will your vision and to be constantly clarifying it and making it more detailed will help when actualizing it in reality. Within your vision you will have many targets in which to aim towards and as you reach your targets others will present themselves.

Instead of having a purpose try having a priority. Purpose can bring up much judgement of ourselves, especially if we feel that we are not fulfilling our purpose or living up to our purpose.

A priority contains a different set of energies and releases us from the stress and judgement that purpose often brings up.
