Creating Your New Year Goals
Most of us create goals each new year. But why do some goals happen and others fall by the wayside? What are the "energy mechanics" of setting a goal...and making it real?
A goal starts life as a spiritual creation, before it is manifested into the physical world. Your thought is broadcast out into the universe, like a wave of energy, and it interacts with other waves of energy, creating a ripple effect. Eventually, if there is enough certainty behind it, your goal will come back to you in physical form.
The goal-creation process can be quite time-consuming, and there's a reason why there is often a delay between creating the thought and making it real. Can you imagine what would happen if all of your thoughts, good, bad, and ugly, were all manifested within moments of thinking them? We are not ready for that ability--we do not know how to handle it. So instead, there is a buffer zone, a space where thoughts are tempered, and where only the most determined and clear goals make it through.
In Conversations with God, book 1, God tells the author that one reason why our goals don't always succeed is that we carry underlying negative thoughts that undermine the goal before it has a chance to manifest. For example, if you want to lose weight, but have a negative image of yourself and think you can't do it, your goal will probably fall by the wayside. When you take a positive, can-do approach and have faith that you will create your dream, it happens. Why? Because you are creating continual supportive energy for your creation.
There are a few good groundrules that you should be aware of when creating a goal:
1. Make sure your goal is your own. In other words, someone else's dream is just that--it doesn't match your energy. It is not sychronous with who you are. To really succeed, you have to be an individual, and tailor your goals to match who you are and where you are in your life. If your family wants you to be a plastic surgeon and you'd rather be a veterinarian, follow your own dream, not theirs--and don't feel guilty about it. You will never fully succeed if you are trying to live out someone else's goal for you. Oh, if you are capable, you can make it happen, but you will never be truly happy with it. It will not make you want to sing inside. Make sure your goals are really yours!
