A goal is often something we perceive as outside of, and separate from, ourselves.
But behind the word "goal," there is a thing inside us that is wanting.
There's something in our heart that we have a strong desire to bring into our lives now.
The desire for this thing is almost palpable. It can be an achievement, a quality in ourselves, an object, a change, an improved relationship, a connection, a deepening--whatever it is, we can name it and call it our "goal."
Now, like the connection that's about to occur between this father and child, I invite you to think of your desired goal as yours. You both are connected.
Rumi, the famous Sufi poet wrote "What you seek is seeking you." So, as you set about your goals and tasks, I invite you to be intentional on what you are wanting and working toward. Let your goals be truly meaningful. And let them come to you. Let yourself achieve your attended goal as easily and lovingly as this father and child are joyfully connecting and reuniting.
For more on intentional goal-setting, attend our Thursday morning workshops, The Cabana Sessions, starting Thursday, September 18th.
