2013 is almost here. Time for new resolutions, goals, and dreams. We can wipe the slate clean and focus on the new year.
Have you ever achieved a goal, but not felt fulfilled? I think goals are great, but without passion and purpose behind them, they can often lead to disappointment.
“If I could just make more money this year, I will be happy”
“If I could just get that new house this year, I will be happy”
“If I could just get that promotion this year, I will be happy”
“If I can just lose 20 pounds this year, I will be happy”
There is nothing inherently wrong with any of these goals, but there needs to be passion and purpose behind them.
Before you list your goals and resolutions for 2013, do you have your “why?”
For example, Why do you want to make more money? To better provide for your family? To take your wife on a special anniversary trip? To save for your kid’s college?
The same is true for losing weight. Why? To feel better? To run a 5k? To be healthier for your kids?
Everyone has their own unique why. We can always figure out the what and how as we determine our goals, but don’t forget the why. The why is the magic.
If you haven’t watched Simon Sinek’s TED talk on the golden circle, I would recommend watching it. If you have already seen it, watch it againJ
All the best in 2013.
