How to Set Your Highest Goals

You have to understand what the goal means to you as a whole. Does it bring you joy and can it make a positive impact in your life?

I always love to start these blogs on a positive note and be able to hone in on the joy WWE can call manifest within ourselves. With that being said, we can also set to achieve things that may be too high. We need to set realistic goals that have momentum, and that we can build off and form the highest goals in due time. So, is this a simple play on words are are we really going somewhere with this?

Imagine being young and single and envisioning you would land your dream job fresh out of college and start making lots of money so you can buy your dream house, car and eventually settle down and get married. Sound like some serious goals? It also sounds like a goal pressurized by society. So, how are you measuring your goals? Against your worth and abilities or someone else's idea of the 'highest' goal?

Create Relevant Goals

Setting goals mean customizing them to your lifestyle, abilities, and overall end game. Be real with yourself when setting goals and realize the 'highest' goal you may be trying to obtain isn't yours at all but may it's someone else's. There is so much we have to contend with and setting goals that are irrelevant to our lives will be just another obstacle and stress factor for us.

In fact, if we really love ourselves our highest goal will be achieving and doing our personal best. Can you set that as your highest goal? If you said yes, then you are in the right place. As a life coach, I work with people who are not comparing themselves to others but comparing themselves to the person they can be. You are taking the first step by committing to do your very best and that is all that matters.

I used to set high expectations myself and felt like a complete failure when I didn't succeed, only to realize my goals were not aligned with me or my life but with who others wanted me to be. Once I realized life wasn't all about me but the things I did, who I helped, and what difference I can make for others and myself, all good things came into place. My goals started to align with me and it became about me and what I wanted to achieve.
