Great points and you are certainly not the only one to experience this. I liken this to the person who decides that they are going to work out after not working out for years and then they go and run for an hour. When they are done they are so sore they think, if this is what it takes forget it. My point is that it is critical to drill your lofty goals down into manageable segments that occur daily. That way you don't have to feel like you are changing the world in one day. Also, the practice of non attachment is very helpful in this as well so that if you do have goals that later become obsolete you don't get discouraged. I will be talking about goals in later posts for sure. Jill. Great points and you are certainly not the only one to experience this.

I get excited about living my ideal life--being who I really want to be. And then I wake up and realize life is still the same and that it's going to BE the same for a while. I can set more reasonable goals, but they don't have the same passion backing them as the more lofty ones do. So how do you keep that passion without loosing a realistic perspective? That's actually something I'd really be interested to hear about--how to take this fantastic idea of Soul Purpose and make it practical. Honestly, I think the breakdown lies in the loftiness of the goals. I get excited about living my ideal life–being who I really want to be. And then I wake up and realize life is still the same and that it’s going to BE the same for a while.

Action, action, action. If you have written down goals and then you don't do anything about them, the question I would ask is, what are your specific action steps that you are taking to achieve each goal? What time frame are you giving yourself to accomplish each? Are you setting the right goals? You mentioned desire and I believe that desire is a key ingredient for sure but it's just the first step. Maybe we should look at your goals and see where the breakdown may be. Jilly,

It sounds great to be living your ideal life--believe me, it really does. I'm bombarded by the sentiment 20+ times a day at work. But getting my butt to the gym is NOT any easier. That quote really is great, but how do I train my mind to wake up at the alarm instead of snoozing my way out of a productive morning?! I have the desire...so how do I act on it? I'm looking forward to your advice in future posts. ^_^ I’m curious about what you let your kid do. ;-)
