EP 8: Setting Goals to Live an Authentic Life

EP 8: Setting Goals to Live an Authentic Life


Today, we're going to delve into the importance of setting goals in your life. Have you ever wondered why some people effortlessly achieve their goals while others seem to wander without direction? It all comes down to the simple yet powerful practice of setting goals. While it might seem obvious, the majority of people in this world do not set goals for themselves. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons why you may find it difficult to set goals and stick to them.


Fear of Failure


One of the main reasons people shy away from setting goals is fear. Fear of failure, fear of not measuring up, and fear of what others might think can paralyze us. Setting goals often requires stepping outside of your comfort zone and taking risks, which can be daunting. Our brains generate lists of reasons why we shouldn't pursue our dreams, why it's a waste of time, or why it's impossible. However, when we don't set goals, we limit our potential for growth and fulfillment.


Lack of Clarity


Another obstacle to setting goals is a lack of clarity. In our busy lives, we often neglect self-reflection and introspection. We get caught up in the daily grind, leaving little room to assess what's working and what's not. Without clarity, it's challenging to set meaningful goals. We need to create space for ourselves to identify what truly matters and where we want to go in life.


Social Pressures and Expectations


Society and past programming can also hinder our goal-setting efforts. Many of us were raised with a predefined script for life: get a stable job, find a partner, get married, have kids, buy a house, and live a predictable life. Anything outside of this script can be seen as too risky or unconventional, leading us to suppress our desires and conform to societal expectations.


Unsupportive Environments


Unsupportive environments can have a profound effect on our ability to set and achieve goals. If your friends, family, or peers discourage your aspirations, it can lead to self-doubt and a sense of not being understood. Sometimes, we outgrow our current social circles and seek like-minded individuals who share our dreams and ambitions.


Lack of Commitment and Discipline


Setting goals also requires commitment and discipline. It's not enough to write down a goal; you must consistently work toward it. For those unaccustomed to discipline and consistency, this can be a significant challenge. Self-worth, trust in oneself, and the ability to take intentional action all play a role in goal achievement.


So what are some of the ways you can support yourself while working toward your goals?


The Power of Accountability


Accountability can make a world of difference when pursuing your goals. Having people you trust to help provide the extra motivation needed to stay on track can help you create huge breakthroughs. It can help combat procrastination and self-sabotage by holding you responsible for your progress.


I believe that everyone deserves to live a life that's full with purpose and accomplishment. That’s one of the reasons I created the Dream Bigger Mastermind, which is group coaching and manifesting program. In Dream Bigger Mastermind, you’ll feel supported as you take action on your goals or on your journey of self-discovery. With weekly group calls and private sessions, it provides a safe space for authentic self-expression and peer support. The program focuses on identifying and replacing limiting beliefs, increasing self-worth, and building trust in oneself.


Manifestation and Visualization


Manifestation involves turning your dreams into reality by aligning your beliefs with your desires. It's not just wishful thinking; it's a deep belief that you have the power to create your reality. Visualization and meditation play a crucial role in this process, helping you embody your dreams and raise your vibrational energy.


Participants in the Dream Bigger Mastermind gain access to a wealth of resources, including meditation libraries, expert masterclasses, and monthly healing modalities. This support system ensures that you have the tools and knowledge to overcome obstacles and manifest your desires.


As you can see, setting goals is a fundamental practice that can transform your life. Overcoming fear, gaining clarity, breaking free from societal expectations, and building discipline are essential steps on the path to goal achievement. Joining a supportive community like the Dream Bigger Mastermind can provide the accountability and resources needed to turn your dreams into reality.


Don't waste any more time just surviving or conforming to expectations. You deserve to live your truth and pursue your dreams. Remember, you are a powerful manifestor capable of achieving your goals. So, take a deep breath, visualize your dreams, and take that first step toward a more fulfilling life. Keep dreaming bigger and remember to breathe more.
