Goal Setting

To read in black and white click this link.

The main technique that my wife and I used to begin our transition from our current consumer based system to our current cottage farming life is goal setting. We are still setting goals now to go further down our path. Setting goals works! All of the great achievements of the human species started with a goal. If you do not set a goal you will not accomplish that goal. So one of our main objectives at Enough is Enough Counseling is to help people get clear on their goals, help them set those goals with confidence and accuracy and then help them work towards achieving those goals. Here are are some basic aspects of goal setting.

Why set a goal?

A life without goals is an empty and purposeless life. I know as I went through a period of my life without any goals or purpose and it was the darkest period of my life. Without goals you have nothing to bind your life together. You just float along without a beacon to light your way through the many obstacles on your path. Goals deliver to us a purpose and reason to develop our many abilities and become all that we can be. Even small goals give us something to look forward to and some sense of accomplishment at their achievement.

Our lives are defined by our goals. People think that their lives are defined by their achievements but in reality all achievements start as goals. So it is our goals that define us. Our goals are our intentions that latter become our achievements. If we have good intentions and we set good goals then we will have good achievements. Without goals our intentions never become accomplishments and our lives are subject to whatever way the wind blows us.

Setting the right goals.

There is of course a negative side to goals and that is when our goals are not the best for us. When we set goals based on a flawed understanding of what is best for us we are disappointed at their achievement. Also when we set goals based in an achievement depending on other people and systems out of our control we are often let down by the other people and systems. For example, many people are now experiencing some panic at the state of our economic system. People have based their whole life plans on our economic system staring strong and an a dependable healthcare system. Many people have set mature goals and work towards their achievement believing they could retire with dignity. However, if the system fails these people are out of luck. They are to old to start over and because of the destruction of the American family they have no one to turn too.

Still others are setting goals and receiving education and training in hopes that what here today will also continue until tomorrow. Again many are already experiencing that the career they have chosen no longer exists. The work and opportunities have begun to be eaten by a greedy and debt filled economic card house.

So how do we counter this? The only real sure way to know that your goals are inline with the future is to include a spiritual or soul element to your goals. You have to involve intuition and what feels right. You have to be flexible and no when to adjust your goal to accommodate life and societal changes. And part of your goal has to be about becoming a more developed person who can function in many potential environments. Finding the right goals and setting them correctly is often the hardest part. However, once that is achieved you can go about the achievement of the goal with 100% confidence.

Making your goal a reality.

The manifestation of your goal takes work. At Enough is Enough Counseling we help you set your goals, write a plan for the achievement of those goals and help you to problem solve and push through and obstacles that come your way as you work towards achievement of those goals. As you design and learn to use your system it it will eventually become automatic to you. Your work towards achieving your goals will become habitual. You will start to recognize familiar patterns and cyclical highs an lows as you go along your path. You start getting the feeling you have been through this before and you gain confidence from you past achievements as you face familiar obstacles.

Making your goals natural.

Another helpful technique is design your goals with a focus of living more simply and naturally. With this element in mind nature begins to help you. As your goals unfold you are beginning to live as your were designed to live. You are no long swimming up stream consuming more then your share. You are in fact being a human being. Old training and latent hidden talents begin to emerge. You begin feeling congruent. Ultimately this is the sole purpose of Enough is Enough Counseling and that is to help you become what you were naturally designed to become. After that you can live the life you were meant to live and be the person you were meant to be.
