The Secret Sauce
In this week’s Brilliant Insights, I want to talk to you about the secret sauce of successful goals.
Here is what my goals looked like BEFORE Alignment.
Three years of journals that started from the same pain point with the same goal and the same resolve that this year would be different.
Here is what my goal look like AFTER Alignment.
I wrote in a journal stating what I wanted to accomplish and then I didn’t pick it up for five months. When I picked it up to begin journaling again and read my last entry five months prior, I smiled because I had accomplished everything I wrote down.
"Information does not bring transformation, conversion does.” -Dr. Myles Munroe
When I first heard Myles Munroe make this statement, I knew that conversion was key to successful goals, and I spent the next year meditating on conversion. Asking the God what conversion meant and what did it look like in the area of goal-setting.
Alignment is where conversion happens. Conversion is the secret sauce to successful goals.
CONVERSION is what empowers you to overcome obstacles from a place of peace and rest and equips you to sustain the results you achieve.
I always recommend a 30-day Alignment before starting to pursue a goal. This gives you time to work through the resistance and learn from it without feeling frustrated or getting off track.
The best way is to do this is through retrospective journaling where you journal what aligned with your values and what didn’t. Answering the following questions each day is really helpful.
Where did I honor my values today?
What part of my day did not align with my values?
What did I learn about myself today?
Tips when doing a 30-Day Alignment.
No striving
Connect all tasks to your four values
Pay attention to the obstacles. Ask what you could learn from it. How do you need to position yourself better so that it does not become an obstacle?
No focus on results allowed
Let each day teach you as you align
Know that every time you do this the alignment will come quicker
Experience peace and rest
