Changing your direction of how to get to your goal, is an even more challenging task than the actual goal was to begin with sometimes. But sometimes this is where we develop a more creative side of our self, that was always there, but we may not have used it as we felt there was no need to…we think, mostly, that the straight road is the easiest, fasted route to our end destination (aka Goal).

I have mentioned many times in this podcast, and so have my awesome guests who have achieved their dream goal, the importance of enjoying the journey, and seeking opportunities that we may otherwise miss or not think about, as we are too stuck in our own world/zone that we miss the awesomeness around us that’s involved in reaching our goal, and can become part of the journey…your story.

As you know by now, I love speaking with guests about their goals, but really delving into their stories of what or how they came to wanting that particular goal, and also how they reached it.

I think the story within the goal is important to help motivate us more to stay on track in reaching our goal.

However, when I say ‘stay on track’ I don’t necessarily mean the straight same track or road to get there, as mentioned at the beginning, this track may take a different direction, that can sometimes seem scary or give us uncertainty….that’s part of the game of life!

So, how adaptable or flexible are you? How do you cope with change? Change can certainly be as I said, an uncertain maybe even scary path or time, especially when it is from circumstances out of our control. Do you like to have control, ALL of the time, are you a control freak perhaps? I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, it’s just that when we fall into a situation that is out of our control, how do you deal with it?

Have you thought about all of the other options that are out there? If this is difficult, have you had conversations with others about this? Perhaps even a coach or mentor, partner, friend or family member. Or even someone you know who has achieved this same goal, or something similar.

We have technology on our side, when it works, believe me I’ve had some problems more recently with technology myself…no phone or internet service. But I found areas in my life, to do with my goals that I could focus more on, that perhaps I didn’t make the time to focus on as much as I did when technology was working.

It’s an example of changing direction, but still enjoying the journey along the way…. even if I don’t have full control of what was in my original plan to begin with. Yes, it’s been frustrating at times, but when I look at the bigger picture and realise that this is a portion of my journey that I will look back on, and say wow, look what I did with that tough, frustrating time, and how I got through it to reach the end goal! It’s all part of the journey and story of life.
