We set goals and want to achieve things but where are we setting goals from? Do our goals come from a place where our calling is? Does it come from our creator? What am I trying to achieve? What am I actually looking for? I have to set goals in the proper context. The intention of this course is to help me feel in alignment with my gift and to be able to take grounded action to accomplish my goals. I have to take grounded application of spiritual principles. This course is my call to adventure and it's a beginning for me to provide clarity. When we know better we do better.
The difference between a goal and an intention: A goal is a result that we want. It's the end result, an outcome. An intention is the feeling that I want to experience. What happens is that we want to feel a certain way so we end up setting goals. Where am I currently? A lot of my goals could be because of our family and our tribes want something for us.
What were some of the goals that I set that didn't really work? Losing weight, having a hot body. Learning to drive. Financial Freedom with no debt. Finishing college. Traveling the world.
But what's been going on? I stress too much. I said I wanted to drive but that means getting a car and having to pay money. I have eliminated some of my debt but not all. I don't stick to fitness routines. I dislike routine. I haven't finished college. I don't make time for travel.
We come to teach and offer to the world the things that we need to learn ourselves. This is a completely normal thing. We think we have many problems but when we dive deep into ourselves we see that our issues come from one area. If I'm not perfect, I'll lose the source of my love.
My goals: Be fit and healthy. Have money. Travel. Teach. Heal
My intentions: Free. Comfortable. Happy. Helpful. Wealthy. Fit. Energized.
The goals that we set are a means to an end. What we really want are intentions. Currently, where am I setting our goals from? A lot of times we set our intentions because we want to experience the opposite of what we feel. A way that we learn to feel the way that we want to feel is by experiencing the opposite. The opposite of my intentions are how I currently feel. However I learned to get love in my childhood is the same method I am using to accomplish my goals. I had to behave to get love as a child. I kept quiet and didn't say anything. I tried to leave my mother alone so she wouldn't feel overwhelmed. I remember vividly her sighing if I wanted something from her. Like it was such a fucking chore.
We apply meaning to the stimulus we experience in the world. So when we experience things in life, we give it meaning and act accordingly. What meaning have I given myself and about my life from my experiences. My health is poor and lazy because I felt sometimes my mom was poor and lazy. Though I know that she worked hard with things I didn't see.
What is my intention for my life? My intention is to feel happy, free, wealthy, comfortable, fit, and helpful.
Happy and free: What could I do right now to feel this way? Run. To get where we want to go we have to feel that way along the way. You can't lack your way to abundance. You can't be sad to make your way to happiness. Running is a sign post and starting point to feel my intention. Continuing to do things over time that keep me happy will create a snowball effect for happiness in my life. Wow. I met Carl while running, while I was at my happiest.
Rules to go by: As I embrace my imperfection and feminine nature, I receive the love that I deserve. It's ok for me to get started before I'm ready.
What rules are running my life? I can't do anything wrong
because I could get in trouble. Are the goals that I set up within my
nature and my purpose or my fear? I can see that I don't set goals out of fear of not reaching them. I think I have set up some of my goals around fear. I fear getting fat. I fear being broke. What do I want to feel most of the time? Free
My intuitive side is giving me a message in my state of confusion because it shows that some part of me is not in alignment with soul's purpose.
