2020 is just around the corner!
December is always a great time to look back at the year that’s about to end and think about WHAT GOALS, WISHES AND DESIRES we have for the the next year.
So WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS AND DESIRES FOR 2020? What do you MOST OF ALL WANT to happen and experience next year?
Let’s reflect on goals a little. From the moment we wake up till late at night we’re chasing goals. Our goals often can keep us so busy, that we feel we’ve got no time left at all. THE HAMSTER WHEEL IS ROLLING. But have you noticed that when we’ve finally reached the goal, we’re also often left with the feeling, “OK. Is this it? What’s now?”… There is NO DEEPER SATISFACTION, NO REAL JOY, NO FEELING OF FULFILLMENT.Can you relate?
So WHY is it that we’re still FEELING THAT SOMETHING IS MISSING, even if we think that we’re good at doing what we’ve got to do, and even if we reach our goals? WHY is it that we’re ON THE INSIDE LONGING FOR SOMETHING MORE and can’t just fully enjoy ourselves, even when ON THE OUTSIDE it looks like we’ve got it all together?
Well, I believe it’s because the goals that we’re chasing all day long are often goals that WE THINK WE HAVE TO FOLLOW. They are SHOULDS OR HAVE-TOS. We’re busy with WHAT WE’VE GOT TO DO. We do WHAT’S EXPECTED FROM US. We do what we de because we think that THIS iS HOW IT IS.
We seldom, if ever, stop and ask ourselves before we start: IS THIS WHAT I REALLY WANT? IS THIS WHAT WILL TRULY MAKE ME HAPPY?
No wonder that such goals, even if we reach them, still leave us somewhat empty and LONGING FOR SOMETHING MORE. These goals come from our MIND. And IT’S NOT OUR MIND’S JOB TO MAKE US HAPPY. That’s not what our mind is designed for.
The answer to our HAPPINESS does not come from our MIND. THE ANSWER LIES IN OUR HEART. To know what will truly fulfill us and what will bring us joy, we’ve got to SHIFT FOCUS from WHAT WE THINK WILL MAKE US HAPPY to WHAT OUR HEART TELLS THAT WILL MAKE US HAPPY.
What you’re missing is your connection TO YOU.
What you’re missing is YOUR CONNECTION TO YOUR HEART.
We need to CONNECT TO OUR HEART. CONNECT TO OUR INNER GUIDANCE that KNOWS what’s best for us like no one else. IT’S NOT IN OUR MIND BUT IN OUR HEART THAT OUR DEEPEST WISHES, DESIRES AND DREAMS ARE LIVING.
So let’s leave our MIND for a moment and CONNECT TO OUR HEART.
Take a couple of deep breaths. And ASK yourself:
IF I COULD HAVE IT EXACTLY THE WAY I WANTED IT, IF EVERYTHING WAS POSSIBLE, HOW WOULD MY MOST AMAZING FUTURE LOOK LIKE?
You can think about your most amazing future in each area of your life: your job, your relationships, your free time, your home, your finances, your social life…
ALLOW the answers to come to you. BE OPEN TO RECEIVE. Don’t question them. Don’t analyze them. Don’t judge them. Don’t think if it’s possible or not. Stay away from your MIND – just for a few moments! STAY IN YOUR HEART. ALLOW YOUR HEAR TO SPEAK TO YOU.
THIS IS WHAT YOU TRULY WANT FOR YOURSELF! THIS IS WHAT YOUR HEART KNOWS THAT YOU WANT.
And now that you know what you truly want for your most amazing future, you can ask yourself as you think about 2020:
WHAT STEP OR STEPS CAN I TAKE IN 2020 THAT WILL BRING ME CLOSER TO MY MOST AMAZING FUTURE, TO WHAT I TRULY WANT?
Just ONE STEP next year is enough.
ONE STEP THAT WILL TAKE YOU CLOSER TO WHAT YOU TRULY WANT for yourself is perfect!
Don’t worry about the rest. When you take the one step, the next step will reveal itself…
It’s the end of the year. It’s time to plan, to dream, to set goals….
It’s time to CHOOSE if 2020 will be the year where you FOLLOW YOUR MIND or FOLLOW YOUR HEART.
It’s time to CHOOSE if 2020 is going to be one more round of BUSINESS AS USUAL or THE YEAR THAT WILL TAKE YOU CLOSER TO YOUR MOST AMAZING FUTURE.
Which are you going to choose?
I choose to follow my Heart.
What about You?
