DO YOUR GOALS HAVE ENOUGH GRAVITY?
Big goals are not only more fun and exciting; they carry
more weight than small ones. Ambitious, serious, “weighty goals” have
attraction power.
They attract others into the process and magnetize ideas and
resources. Big goals pull you along. They pull you through the difficult times
and help you remain diligent. They inspire you to greater innovation and
effective action.
I’m not a scientist, but from what I understand, the bigger
the mass, the greater the gravity. Larger planets like Jupiter have more gravitational
pull than Earth because of their greater mass.
And so it is with our goals and dreams. The bigger they are,
the more they tend to attract what’s needed for their fulfillment.
And it’s not just the SIZE of the goal that matters. It’s
how important it is—how badly you want it. Your passion and your desire infuse
your goals with magnetism.
An inspiring goal that benefits many will grow in size and
weight. And the greater the good, the bigger the goal.
Let’s say you have a goal to improve your credit rating.
It’s not that big of a goal, but it’s a worthy one. Your credit report impacts
your ability to obtain loans—even your job opportunities. But when you realize
that a higher credit rating could save tens of thousands of dollars because of
lower mortgage rates, it becomes a much more important goal. It gains weight
because you see how it affects the livelihood of you and your family. It’s
emotionally charged.
What about starting a business? You’ve always wanted to own your own enterprise. Another good goal.
But when you have a VISION for your business, when you write
a business plan and launch the enterprise, your goal becomes serious. Everything
and everybody pays attention to it. It begins to draw to it all that’s needed
to bring it to fruition.
We are unlimited in what we can choose to achieve. But our
time IS limited. We must think carefully about what we really want and why we
want it. This way, we can choose wisely and invest our time and energy in goals
worthy of our best efforts.
When we do this, we become aligned with our goals. By
choosing and working toward weighty, worthy goals, we allow their magnetism to
work in our favor. They’re easier and more fun to achieve. There’s less frustration
and faster progress.
Make sure your goals have gravity.
