Living the results of your gosls today even if you haven't met them yet!

There is a person who gave me some simple, but exceptional advice the other night. I wanted to share it with all of you. It is the kind of advice that you can use in all aspects of life. My favorite kind!


She told me that I am a great goal setter, but there are so many things I want to do i.e.; get healthy, write a book, make jewelry, etc. She said that she gets so excited hearing about all of these ideas I have but sad when time passes and the goals get pushed out. “It’s the follow through T., that you lack. I love you but you set these great goals and plan it out so well then ….Nothing” she told me.

She’s right! But then she asked, “ What if instead of setting goals and creating elaborate plans in how you will reach them, you just ask yourself one question instead?

What if you asked you self, what it would look like today, if you had reached that goal. Visualize yourself living your goal instead. What would you be doing? How would you act? Who would you be? Then when you live each day, live the success of your goal.” Powerful stuff !!!

I tried it  last night. I always bag on myself for not being good enough. I even come up with some decent excuses as to why I could never be as good as “them”. So  last night at my soccer game, a teammate even brought up to me how I sell myself short all the time and don’t appreciate what I am able to do. I just brushed it off because I have resolved that is just my nature. However, a little voice inside my head said, “How would you perform in this game if you were a great soccer player?” I started working 10 times harder. Here is my disclaimer … I have never played soccer before joining this league 5 years ago. We play once a week on an indoor field and there are no practices. All the “skill” I have is what I have learned on my own. I don’t have a ton to work with.

BUT, I tried to play my game last night as if I was a great player and I scored 2 really great goals. The only 2 my team scored. I have only ever scored 3-5 times before and never more than 1 in a game. It felt amazing!

I can’t wait to start living my goals today instead of tomorrow. The outcome is unbelievable!

Maybe this will resonate with some of you the way it did for me. Night All!
