To Achieve Your Goals Write Them Down and Share
I was talking to my brother last night about what he wanted in a relationship, and after I got him to explain exactly what he wanted, I told him to immediately write it down. He asked me why and I explained that it incredibly speeds up the manifestation process.
There is really something magical about writing down your goals (I’ll explain exactly why it is so powerful later in this post). Pretty much every personal development teacher will tell you to write your goals down, but it’s funny how rarely people actually do it… It is absolutely critical!
The more you commit to a goal, the faster it will manifest. You can commit to your goal by doing these things (in order of increasing power): think it, speak it aloud, tell a friend, write it down, tell a trusted love one… There are many more ways to commit to your goal (including specific actions you can take, such as meditating on it, writing a plan, etc.), but in this post I want to focus on the aspect of writing your goal down and sharing it with others – and how powerful those actions are in manifesting your goal.
The beauty about the age in which we live (with sites like Twitter and Facebook) is that you can immediately share your goals with your friends and extended network. The moment you share a goal with other people, it becomes that much stronger because you have committed to it that much more. The more you commit to your goals the quicker they will manifest. The internet has made it incredibly easy to share goals with many people at the same time, which instantly makes you feel more accountable to your goals and adds fuel to your desires.
However, not only does writing down your goals and sharing them make you more accountable and committed, but the real value is that it greatly increases the odds for “chance” occurences to happen that are in alignment with your goals. For example, your goal is to run everyday and you post a Facebook update with that goal as the text. That afternoon, your next door neighbor reads it, and already has a running group and regular practice. He might just knock on your door one morning asking if you would like to go running with him and his running friends… you just never know!
This “chance” is the real power of writing down your goals and sharing them. They then quickly start to manifest into reality because you have truly let them go into the world. You have taken your goals and made them much more real – by writing them down they are real on paper, by telling others they are real in others’ consciousnesses. The more your goals are real around you, the more they start to become realized around you! So write your goals down and share, share, share.
Here are my goals for this blog, and here are my personal goals. Please read them and let them inspire you to write your goals down and share them.
