DAY 5 – My Goals

September 6th, 2010 · No Comments · 30DLBL

I’m on top of goal setting! I’ve lived by specific goals all my life. I’ve done this 5-year, 3-year, 1-year goal-setting activity over and over again. So I don’t need to do today’s homework.

Now, at this time of my life, my primary goal is to live in the present tense. To enjoy NOW to the fullest. Yes, I do find it enjoyable to have something planned for the near future (a holiday, a trip, a class I’ve signed up for, an event I plan to attend, a get-together with a friend, etc.). While these and longer-term plans do help to give form to my days, weeks, and months, I also know that, for me, long-term goal setting is no longer necessary for me to live happily in a high-quality life.

I can achieve all I want to achieve by living in the moment, fully. Doing that isn’t easy, so I’m working on getting good at it. So if I write this up as my goal-plan as Celes defines the process in her blog posts, here’s my chart. The first row defines my life goal and breaks it down into the shorter term goals. The second is me working on my September affirmation about creativity (defined in my Day 1 blog post) and projecting it into the 5-year future.

My life is perfect in every way.

I regret nothing.
(Re: my Life Mission Statement)

In terms of my Life Wheel:

  • “Career”: My creative activity is flourishing.
  • Finances: I have enough money to meet all my needs.
  • Health: Excellent health thrives within me and surrounds me at all times.
  • Family: My family is flourishing and we’re enjoying each other.
  • Love: My partner and I are “living happily ever after”. :)
  • Fun: Every day I do something I really enjoy.
  • Contribution: I’m enjoying doing a variety of things to make a positive difference in the lives of others.
  • Personal growth: I’m growing every day in many ways.
  • Spiritual: My heart and soul are thriving in Joy and Peace.

I’m enjoying every part of every day in every way, to the fullest extent.

I’m enjoying my life every day. Each day is filled with the activities described in my “Core Values” action map.

Just BE.
“Human BEing, not human Doing.”

I am creatively fulfilled.

My creative works surround me in my home and are also enhancing the homes of friends and family.

I’m seeking new creative directions and exploring them.

My creativity is renewing and expanding.

I am actively expressing my creative urges every day.
(My Sept.’10 affirmation.)

OK, so I did today’s homework after all. Sheesh! I’m pretty much addicted to self-development, that’s all there is to it.
