Set Goals to Create Your Most Joyful Life :)

“If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.” ~ Albert Einstein

The Oxford Dictionary defines the word ‘goal’ as the object of a person's ambition or effort; an aim or desired result.

Synonyms for ‘goal’ from Roget’s Thesaurus include: intent, objective and aim.

Goals are a useful tool to help you create what you want for your life.

Don’t be daunted by the word ‘goals’. Just think about what you want, and intend to attain :)

Setting goals allows you to be the designer of your own life, creating the outcomes that you want for yourself.

“If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they may have planned for you? Not much.” ~ Jim Rohn

• How do you want to live your life?

Align your goals with your authentic self  –  your values, dreams and desires.

• What do you want to be?

Brian Johnson of Philosophers Notes suggests focusing on 'Being' goals i.e. being kind, patient and generous and 'Creating' goals i.e. creating something of value.

• What do you want to have?

• What do you want to do?

Think about living your Most Joyful Life and what that means to you, and then set your goals accordingly.

You have to know where you’re going, before you can start making plans to get there :)

Design the life that you want and start setting your goals to create it

Be Inspired and Get Your Glow On :)

With love,

'Begin it now!'

I’ve been mulling over the idea for GloWoman for 3 years now.

I’d come up with the name and the vision of what I wanted it to be.

But I had no idea how, or where to start.

I kept re-visiting the idea; imagining it up and running, and wondering how I could turn it into reality.

And finally I realised (with a little prodding from Goethe, via Brian Johnson's Philosopher's Notes), that I just had to START :)

"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now!"~ - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
 

So I’m starting with a little blog, that I’ve put together myself.  I’ve envisioned an interactive community website, but this is indeed, a start :)

The next step will be to get the Directories up. I’ll be creating directories of the listings that you’ll be posting or emailing to me, so that we’ll have a great selection of resources to encourage you to Get Your Glow On™.

Tell us who you are, what you LOVE to do, or what you’re looking for.

Recommend People, Products or Places you love.

Please start posting in the Comment section, or email me directly, Bets@GloWoman.org  and I’ll add your details to the Directory.

I'll be posting resources and titbits to inspire you to Get Your Glow On, and look forward to hearing from you. 


With love,
