Do Your Goals Match Your Passion?

Do Your Goals Match Your Passion? Hello everyone, I hope you are well. In today’s post, I will be sharing my thought on why your goals need to match your passion. Whether we are all still in the process of setting our goals for the year. Or haven’t yet established our goals for the year. It is important to remember what you are passionate about and set a goal that matches your passion.

Do Your Goals Match Your Passion?

Making sure our goals are properly aligned with our passions only makes sense. Suppose you have the wish to move up the corporate ladder. Start your own business or just about any other worthwhile endeavour. You’re going to make things a lot easier on yourself if you’re working on things that get you personally excited and make you feel alive when you’re working on them (i.e. following your passions).

We hear this a lot I know…

But have you ever stopped to ask yourself why this is?

Hopefully this will help…

A simple rule of thumb is to do the things that you’d do even if you weren’t getting paid to do them. Napoleon Hill, author of Think And Grow Rich often referred to as doing more then you get paid for. He regarded this as a key to success. If the idea was good enough for Mr. Hill, I could assure you. It’s good enough for me :).

The simple reality is that most any level of lasting achievement takes effort (even the over-night successes we sometimes hear about rarely happen exactly over night). Often it means going above and beyond the call of duty and going and doing just a bit more than you may expect in your job description.

Foregoing something in return for the results you’re sure you’ll reap later on even if others might not see you as exerting quite as much effort as they are (I get this all the time since I “just sit at a computer all day and work from home”… ha ha). Even so, you’re putting forth effort.

I can tell you I can’t imagine how much I’d dread getting up every day. If what I was doing wasn’t aligned with something I also have a strong passion for. Believe me, and it’s a feeling worth implementing into your own life.

To Summarise

In summary, I believe that following our inner passion allows us to sit in a more natural path with regards to achieving our personal dreams and desires. Why is that? I think it is because instead of counting the hours till we get off and can work on other projects, we’ll be more excited about the task at hand.

Which I believe in turn is a lot more likely to equate to more productive results. Wouldn’t you agree? Not to mention, we’re destined to have a whole lot more fun day to day (and I believe derive more lasting meaning in our lives).

I hope you enjoyed that.

Talk soon.
