Goal Keeping: Dealing with Your “Dragons”

Goal Keeping: Dealing with Your “Dragons”

I think the following raises some excellent points about goal keeping. I’ve included a few of the highlights for you to get the gist of the article:

1. External Dragons

These dragons come from outside, caused by external factors that you have no control over. For example, your dragon could be an excessive workload, or a family member that needs your time and attention. In this case, you need to give yourself time to think around the problem from different angles and take a different route of action.

2. Internal Dragons

Internal dragons are much more difficult to spot, as they come from somewhere inside your thoughts or feelings. They have often been sitting inside your mind for a long time, influencing how you perceive certain situations. Here are a few examples:

Moody Dragon:Typical reactions to an obstacle are anger, cynicism, malice, guilt, shame, dread etc.These will not help you to keep your goal and should thus be changed into something more beneficial.

 What do you think? Maybe you’d like to read on? Check out the full version here then give me a call to discuss how this might impact your own business: (0404) 056-788. Alternatively, email me at [email protected].
