Soccer and your Goals

Do you like soccer? I don’t!

 

Wait a second and hear me out. (I can hear you soccer fans out there crying “FOUL”!)

 

I dislike the fact that in over an hour of watching men and women running around after a ball, there may be only 2 or 3 goals scored or maybe even none! I prefer more fast paced games myself like basketball, volleyball…

 

Can you imagine if your business was like a soccer game? Good gracious! How boring would our lives be if we achieve 1 goal every time we play! How long would it take for us to attract our true desires? Okay I agree that some business goals that some of us have are so incredibly UNattainable that it does in fact take us a very long time for us to say…………

“G-O-A-L!!!!!!!!!!!!”.

 

In trying to get that ball in the goal we have all sorts of setbacks to overcome, hurdles to jump over, defenders of the status quo to get past. You know what I mean by the latter. Those ‘defenders’ that are constantly telling us, “Oh you can’t do this..it’s too hard! You can’t earn THAT amount of money!”

 

And then there is the goalkeeper we have to contend with-our subconscious mind that tries hard to keep that goal from becoming a reality.
I’m sure at one time or other we’ve had a perfectly attainable goal, only to be put off by those nagging thoughts in our head that more often than not keeps that ball from out of the net.

 

If on the other hand our lives were as fast-paced as say, the NBA finals… WOW!!! Imagine what we can achieve! How exciting would our lives be if we could achieve a 3-pointer!

 

Now, our goals don’t have to be long-term goals that will take us months to attain. How about having 3-5 goals each day? Or 10 goals a week? Or 10 goals a month? These goals can be as simple as ‘getting to work on time’, ‘leaving work on time’ or ’spending 30mins with the children’ or even ’saving $100 this month’. It doesn’t really matter.

 

The more accustomed you are to achieving your goals, the more goals you will achieve! The more goals you achieve, the closer you get to the vision of what you want your business to look like. And the closer you get to your vision each day, the more prosperity and happiness and success you will attract. Easy, huh?

 

Do I like soccer? Nope! Give me basketball any day and let me score every basket I can!
