Examples of goals in a person's life. Examples of goals in a person’s life Examples of unsuccessful movement towards a goal

A person’s determination of life goals is one of the main conditions for achieving success. Moreover, it is important not only to set goals, but also to often think that you are able to achieve them and that you will achieve them.

You should not think about obstacles on the way to your goal and imagine ominous darkness. Focus on the fact that achieving each goal can dramatically improve your life. The more you think about how your goals will change your life for the better, the stronger your desire to realize them will be. A natural desire for specific actions will awaken in you.

If a goal inspires you, then you will in any case begin to act towards achieving it. It doesn’t matter how much time you have to implement it, because you like the path itself and the fact that you feel more and more satisfied with yourself. This state encourages you to act actively, so your level of productivity will only increase.

If you are having difficulty choosing your life goals, you can use examples of other people's goals from the list of 100 human life goals.

Recently, a lot of information has appeared about goals, achievements and success. There are many books, trainings, seminars. Accordingly, many build a business on this.

Basically these materials are very similar. Goal setting, time management, fighting fears. Or visualization, reframing, influencing the subconscious.

Traditionally, fashion comes from the West. Therefore, Western methods and the Western style of presenting information are held in high esteem.

I want to talk about a more eastern approach to achieving goals. I will not encourage giving up goals or advocating giving up material possessions.

This is an extremely clear and simple way of a minimalist.

So, we talked about the difference in approaches. I have already written a series of articles about the importance of the process and. Read them, refresh your memory.

The Western approach is to identify a specific goal, break the achievement into stages and achieve results.

The Eastern approach is to understand your values, motives and your deepest purpose. Get a vision of the future, understand your path and let go of your goal...

You must have a goal, not it you. Achieving a goal is not as important as the journey you take.

In general, many things in our society are overrated. Victories are very important for a person. The spirit of competition is strong. Competition rules the roost.

Due to the increased significance of the moment, winning competitions is much more difficult. During training, you can show excellent results, but stumble one step before victory. On the other hand, of course, through hard training, adrenaline rush and full concentration, you can achieve success. But such a result requires much more effort.

Examples of unsuccessful movement towards a goal

Once at a bowling alley, I threw the ball twice and knocked down all the pins both times. For 3 strikes the establishment gives a small gift, so I tensed up. I decided that I would win this gift right now. And he immediately missed. And if I had not chased the result, I would most likely have achieved it.

Girls are programmed from childhood to get married and have children. This is an instinct reinforced by society. They strive to get married, and not to find a happy family. To give birth to a child, and not to raise a worthy member of society.

For some reason they think that after marriage or having children, life itself will become much better. Therefore, they are not ready for difficulties.

As a result, many of them end up marrying people they don't like. They give birth to children, live and suffer. They often get divorced, but more often they endure. After 10-20 years of living together and experiencing trials, sometimes feelings, calmness, and understanding of each other come.

But not to everyone. Are you willing to spend 10-20 years figuring out whether you will be happy with this person? Why not choose the same one from the beginning? Why not make your relationships ideal when you are young?

Guys also quickly start a family when they approach 30 years of age. In girls, this desire manifests itself much earlier.

Guys, especially those closer to thirty, have a need for self-realization, high status, good earnings, and possession of property (apartment, house, car). And often it doesn’t matter what method.

That's why they throw themselves into all sorts of troubles - they go to work, work hard at a job they don't like, open a business that makes them sick, and get involved with crime. This is also IMHO flushing life down the toilet. You can try everything (except maybe crime), but you should only go where you like to be.

A pleasant path leading to a cherished goal

I thought a little and came up with a few patterns. They are also recipes for achieving a goal comfortably. Without breaking yourself and overcoming unnecessary difficulties. Here I will describe the thesis, and then write a couple of real examples from my life.

The goal is a state, not a moment. There is no need to strive for a certain moment in life. Strive for condition. This goal is very vague and that’s what’s good about it. A state of happiness, harmony, calmness, joy - this is not “buying a car”.

The path is more important than the goal itself. HOW you go is a little more important than WHERE. The destination can evoke any emotions in you (you don’t even really know what), but the path to it should be bright and filled with pleasant emotions. When the path is important, difficulties are pleasant.

Achieving the goal is not necessary. The goal shouldn't own you. You can cancel it at any time. This should not be a cause of discomfort.

The goal is development. One of the highest goals of a person should be development. Daily and continuous. You are on the path of self-improvement. It not only brings joy. But also the results - you live longer, and more qualitatively and happily. Having identified a goal and developing in its direction, you will definitely achieve it.

Examples from life

Most likely, I could not express in words what I wanted to convey. It's a very delicate matter. So I'll tell you a couple of my real life examples. I already wrote that. Now I’ll tell you a little more.

Scripts for sale

Once upon a time, I really wanted to develop my own online store for selling digital goods. I didn’t know how to program then, I understood little about marketing and sales, but I saw what I wanted. I admired Vadim Lasto, Brake and other ideologists of software solutions.

Now I am selling scripts using my own scripts for selling digital goods. That's a pun. The point is that I came where I wanted, and automatically. He understood programming, wrote scripts for himself, and tinkered with the code. This was interesting to me.

Gradually, I began to find and come up with solutions that people needed. Now I am a real script seller.

Dream girl

Once upon a time I wanted to meet the girl of my dreams. There was a certain vision. In the end, I came to this. I've been living with her for 2 years now, and I'm getting married very soon.

None of the couples I know can boast of such a good relationship as ours. We don't even feel comfortable talking about them. Everyone else talks about problems, complains about their other halves, but at the same time does not want to change. We both moved towards such relationships, developed, changed ourselves for the better.

Do you know when I met her? When I was looking the least. That is, of course, I was not against the meeting, but I had no goal of starting an affair or starting a long-term relationship.

Girls are attracted to exactly the kind of guys who treat them with coldness, do not depend on them, but on the contrary show their independence...

Then I got carried away and I decided to write an article soon about how to meet the girl of my dreams :)

The essence

Draw your own conclusions. This is not the first time that I have personally been convinced in practice that independence from a goal is strength.

So, the stages of achieving any goal:

Choosing a direction. It is sometimes very difficult to understand where you want to go, what to do, what brings you joy. This can be done by trying. Just try whatever interests you.
Movement in the right direction, development in this. When you realize that you want to achieve certain results in something, commit to it to the fullest. The result is not important, what is important is your interest and pleasure from the actions.

Many people have heard about the state of “flow”. When you are captivated by some action. So much so that you stop noticing everything around you. So, immerse yourself in it, choke on what you love, go deeper and deeper.

As a result, after a while you will begin to wonder. When you realize that you have everything you dreamed of. And you won't be able to stop. And you will move on.

Not for the sake of happiness [Guide to the so-called preliminary practices of Tibetan Buddhism] Khyentse Dzongsar Jamyang

The path is the goal

Theoretically, practitioners of the path of fruition from the very beginning use, or at least imagine that they use, methods that integrate “cause” and “fruit.” In this case, “imagine” means that although you think you are dealing with cause of your enlightenment, you already imagine fetus, that is, enlightenment itself. Take cooking an egg for example. A regular egg looks like an egg, not an omelette. But if you are going to make an omelet, you already have a mental picture of it in your mind, and although the eggs don't look like omelettes at all, because you have imagined what you want the eggs to look like when you cook them, the result will be an omelet. This is an example of how the result is the path, and this method brings the cause to maturity more quickly.

Another example: milk is a liquid, not at all like a solid piece of butter, but if you subject it to the simple but vigorous process of churning, then, although it will take on a completely different appearance, in essence it will still remain milk. In the same way, water and ice are completely different, but in essence both are water.

One of the countless benefits of this method is that it gives students the confidence and understanding that the path is the goal.

That which binds samsaric beings can free them

In tantric texts we read that rational thoughts can be overcome only by rational thoughts, and the cycle of existence can be broken only by the cycle of existence.

The Great Saraha also pointed out: what binds the fool frees the wise. For Dharma followers who lack the openness and courage to accept this truth, their spiritual path seems tediously long, their available methods limited, and their progress along the path difficult and harsh.

However, you do not need to delude yourself into thinking that you have the superior abilities and capabilities necessary to enable you to apply exclusive Vajrayana methods. From the very beginning, the great teachers of the past have warned us again and again that while we aim to practice the path of fruition, we should never place ourselves above the paths of cause, sravakayana and bodhisattvayana. On the external level we must practice Sravakayana, on the internal level we must practice Bodhisattvayana, and on the secret level we must practice Vajrayana.

If you practice in this way, it will bring great benefits. For example, if others see you practicing shravakayana, this may encourage them to also start practicing and develop renunciation, humility and modesty. If you practice bodhisattvayana, your courage and compassion will increase on the inner level, and you will also avoid the side effect of arrogance. By keeping your Vajrayana practice secret, you will prevent others from making hasty judgments or being shocked by its methods, and will also avoid any of the unpleasant consequences that so often bring tantra into disrepute.

Those who are not ready for Tantrayana, but deliberately flaunt themselves as Tantric yogis, not only undermine their own spiritual path, but also discourage others from following it. Although people may try to imagine that poison is medicine before drinking it, those who, lacking the peacock's inherent ability to transform poison, attempt such a thing will die. Moreover, there is probably a good reason why Shakyamuni Buddha chose to appear in this world modestly, usually dressed and barefoot, rather than appearing in the ornate and luxurious aspect of the sambhogakaya with all his palaces and huge retinue.
