Listen "#10 Goal setting in life and business with Will Polston"
Episode Synopsis
Topics covered:Why we all do things to protect ourselves - Will shared the story of the Golden Buddha. Everyone has a Golden Buddha within us - we were all born golden. But as we grow older, we become exposed to the realities of our environment, the opinion of others, and the influences of adults that we respect. So we start to protect ourselves. And over time we cover ourselves up - we cover what was golden about us. And we do this to survive - because if we show it, we risk it being stolen or damaged.Why we should all be setting an ultimate goal for ourselves - in life and business - The vast majority of people don't set goals; they drift through life, floating on the river of life and let the current take them wherever it'll take them. And people who do set goals often feel frustrated because they set short-time goals, meet them, set some more, and keep moving the goal post. So what should we be doing instead? Have a 'North Star' - an ultimate goal and destination. Your North Star might be something you'll never achieve. But knowing what your ultimate goal helps you to reverse engineer the process to get there.Why you should strive to turn your fear into gratitude - By altering our thinking we can change our perspective. By changing our perspective, we can start to move from fear to gratitude. And we do this when we realise that everything in front of us is a blessing - an opportunity to move closer to our ultimate goal. And that enables us to feel energised and want to keep striving, even when we come up against hurdles.If you’d like to connect with Will, you can find him on his website, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
