Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart. ~William Wordsworth
Substitute “damn” every time you’re inclined to write “very;” your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be. ~Mark Twain
What is the difference between a good goal and a great goal? A great goal has great meaning.
The challenge for today is to dig deep and figure out what reaching this goal will give you that is even more meaningful and important than the goal itself.
Put it down on paper. To give your goal an added edge start keeping a log or a journal about your progress, struggles, obstacles and today use it to answer a few of these questions. Let’s use the goal of becoming more organized by spending 15 minutes per day de-cluttering, as an example.
a) What will becoming more organized give me that I don’t have now?
b) How will it feel to come home to a house that is clutter free, organized and peaceful?
c) Who could I be if I had a home that felt peaceful and organized?
d) Who else will benefit from this?
Still feeling blah and uninspired? Now write down everything you have to lose by not reaching your goal.
If this does happen to be your goal check out http://www.oprah.com/dated/oprahshow/oprahshow_20081029_messy as she has a “clean up your messy house” challenge on right now.
