Setting ‘Non-Instrumental’ Goals

One of the reasons that I hear from people about why they do not set goals for themselves is because they are afraid of failure…

But what if I told you that goal setting is NOT about getting what you wish for. Would that surprise you?

The most successful people do not set goals for the end of getting what they set out for, but the process of goal setting is an ends in itself.

Another way of saying that is that they set goals non-instrumentally. The reward of goals setting is the act of goal setting itself!

But how can that be?

To them, the process of setting goals is about the act of living intentionally. Simply expressing their true desires and becoming clear about they want.

It is about the process of exercising their ‘intentionality muscles’.

The more you exercise your power of ‘intentionality’ the more intentional your life will become and the more clear you become about what goals are realistic for you to achieve.

Paradoxically, when you let go of the need to achieve the outcomes you set for yourself and instead focus on the process of goal setting for its own sake, the more likely it will become that you will achieve what you set out for.

How often do you exercise your intentionality muscles?
How often do you plan your life and get clear on what you truly want?
What will your next steps be based on this understanding?

The more you exercise your power of intentionality to more real you become, the more you access your true power, and the more successful and self-actualizing you will be.
