Losing Site of Your Goals ... Determining your Vision from your
actions!
by Edward B. Toupin
In the fury of trying to accomplish our goals, we tend to lose
site of our Vision. We get so caught up in "doing things" that
we forget why we're doing them. In the process, we lose hope,
lose drive, and end up running in a circle trying to find our
"reason" again. In our circular dance, we fill in the gaps with
unnecessary activities, or "busy work", to make us feel as though
we're moving forward. Instead, we're merely weighting ourselves
down further to create a wall around our newly developed "comfort
zone".
This cycle is actually more common than not as we all get caught
up in the moment and forget about our ultimate objective, or Vision.
We all require a target at which to aim so that we can determine
which activities are necessary and which are "busy work". Keep
an eye on the objective while working on the goals that will get
you there, else, get lost in the shuffle and end up on the wrong
path.
In some of my clients' cases, we have to work backward to find
their underlying Vision from the morass of activities in which
they are involved. The approach allows us to determine why they're
so lost and why they're working so hard. Ultimately, we're able
to extract their Vision from their activities. We then adjust
their Vision to suite their desires and strip off the excess activities
that serve little purpose in moving them forward. By the time
we've evaluated their situation, they find that the stresses in
their lives fall away, along with the unnecessary tasks that have
kept them so isolated and busy.
In the hectic activities of your daily life, step back for a
moment and figure out where these activities are leading you.
Set a Vision and focus your activities to reach it without expending
unnecessary tangential efforts. In this way, not only will your
stress be reduced, but you'll feel more motivated, prouder, and
more focused knowing that your actions are building toward your
desires.
