ON MY HUMBLE MIND : FOCUS ON PERSONAL GROWTH VALUES If you want to make sure that you enjoy these internal benefits on your goal setting experiences, it’s important to maintain your focus on the following: 1) Continuously expand your vision of what is possible for your life. A successful person knows that they are capable of much more than most people think is possible. While they may start with smaller goals to build momentum, they know that those goals will grow in magnitude as they progressively overcome their own limitations. Be sure you are always open to unconventional and creative ways to expand your horizons. If you keep your focus on the point just beyond where you think your capabilities might end, you’ll soon discover ways to go beyond those imaginary boundaries. 2) Stretch your comfort zone at every opportunity. In addition to believing you are capable of more, you should strive to prove it to yourself as often as you can. Don’t just dream big and plan big – act big! Push yourself outside your comfort zone and trust that your internal resources will lead you to new and exciting opportunities. With every step forward, your self confidence will grow and so will your resourcefulness. We all have untapped abilities. The only way to access those abilities is to push ourselves into a place where we actually need to use them. That place is almost always outside our current comfort zone. 3) Let your personal growth show in the person you become. Rather than trying to impress others with what you can do, have done, or acquired, let your character and demeanor convey the true depth of your personal growth. The outer trappings acquired through successful goal setting may be impressive, but in reality, people of character care more about who you are as a person than what you have. The inner journey is what counts A truly successful person doesn’t need to say a word about their accomplishments because it’s part of who they are. Their inner personal growth is always evident in subtle but powerful ways. The greatest thing about focusing on the internal aspects of goal setting is that external success then becomes the natural expression of your internal state. Of course, by then, those external things just seem like a nice bonus compared to the personal growth that you’ve enjoyed along the way. Have a great day.
