Post A Day 2011 | Wordpress Challenge ~There is Purpose in your Pain~

I often read blogs like 10 or more daily. This one really caught my eye. It’s a positive challenge to reaching your goals. I have a “gratitude” rock. I collect stones. It gave me an idea to post them too. Please just check out this young man’s blog as you will not be happy you did.

In my previous post on reaching your goals, I suggested that you needed to understand what your core values are before setting your life goals.

In my previous post on reaching your goals, I suggested that you needed to understand what your core values are before setting your life goals. We don’t often think about our values, but they are critical to our success and happiness.

Dr John Demartini, human behaviour specialist, suggests writing down your top three responses to these five questions in order to determine your values.

1. How do you fill your space? - things that are important to you are held closely, usually on display in your home or work space, worn or carried around with you. I carry my gratitude rock (http://stufish7.wordpress.com/2011/01/04/do-you-have-a-gratitude-rock/) around with me at all times so Gratitude is one of my values.

2. How do you spend your time ?- you make time for things that are important and run out of time for things that aren’t.

3. Where do you always have energy for something ?- what energises you when you do it? Writing my blog energises me, so one of my values is Contribution.

4. Where do you spend your money? Would you get behind on your rent to buy a new pair of shoes? Then that says something about what you value.

5. Where are you most organised? Things that come up repeatedly represent your highest values. Hence Family is one of my values.

Once you have identified say your ten values, then it is possible to start to identify your real goals in life and/or business. Demartini argues that the real source of affirmative living is doing things that are congruent with what is really important to you.

> When we set a goal with our highest values in mind, we see the greatest opportunity and are inspired to do the things that really count, to achieve that goal.
>
> When you are congruent, you will endure pain and pleasure in pursuit of your goals. You’ll have more long-term vision, more patience and persistence. You’ll believe in yourself and your internal experience of your life becomes “I can, I know and I do”.

As a budding Life Coach, this is what I want to help my clients achieve for themselves and those they love.
