M3:D29 Process

I wanted to share some thoughts about process vs. goals.  We are always told how important it is to set goals and then achieve them.  I've been guilty of it myself.  At this point, after some discussions with others and some journaling and thinking on my own, I have come to a slightly different conclusion overall.

I believe it is extremely important to have goals.  However, I don't believe it is our job to chase the goals.  Instead, I think we need to consider how we approach the entire process.  What the heck do I mean, right?

Well, the goal is your desired end result.  It needs to be clearly identified by you before you start.  You then need to determine how you must prepare yourself to reach this desired result.  What thinking must change?  What approaches must change?  Next you need to determine how to bring the end result to yourself.  This is alot like the powerful reason why in that it is the very thing that is going to bring the end result you desire to you.  What actions must you take to bring the end result to you?  Is there something specific you need to do for that to happen?  The next thing you focus on is avoiding undoing what you just did.  If you workout in the morning, avoid undoing that hard work by eating bad things–always eat healthy.  As you do all these things (the process) the end result will draw nearer and nearer to you.
