Episode 119: Finding The Good In A Missed Goal

My search for abundance yesterday morning led me to the topic for this episode... You see, I missed a BIG goal I had set with my team. It was the biggest goal we've set to date and I really believed it was possible. (Hint: Belief is a big part of attracting what you desire!)

But we missed our goal... And as a bit of a competitor, I felt like I lost the game I was playing. And who wants to lose?!?! Not me!!! So I woke up with the attitude of a bad loser - the type who can't see the lessons in the loss.

I laid in bed for a couple of minutes with loser thoughts that just made me feel crappier and unmotivated to get out of bed. Not a good way to start a Friday, or any day for that matter!!! (And a rare occurrence in my life since I love what I do and typically jump out of bed excited to get to work!)

But fortunately, from plunging into the work of abundance and employing this mindset on a daily basis, I quickly became aware that my thoughts were coming from a place of lack and dwelling on what I felt I was missing instead of abundance and focusing on what I have.

So I quickly flipped the switch in my head to thinking about abundance and asked myself: "What is the good in this situation?" And oh, how the amazing thoughts flowed into my brain and quickly infused me with joy, happiness, and contentment.

It was better than any drug out there!

Listen to this podcast and hear what abundant thoughts came up to change my mood so fast and shifted everything about the rest of my day.

And then hear my 3 biggest lessons about goals that I've learned and thought would be useful for you to hear, so that you too don't get so caught up in your goal achievement that you lose sight of the abundance in your life.

Lesson 1: Never be afraid of setting big goals but detach from the outcome.

Lesson 2: Don't let a goal consume you.

Lesson 3: Stay present. Be careful not to fall into a future-focused mindset.
