Are You Settling for Less?

What you want and what inspires you to feel happy changes over time.

Your focus as a baby is different from when you’re a young adult ready to launch a new phase of this human adventure and varies at every stage of you being alive.

Likewise, what satisfies you shapeshifts.

Perhaps you are on or have had a financially safe and profitable career path, and you keep telling yourself that you should be happy. However, if you’re honest with yourself, it’s unfulfilling and you want more — something different, more meaningful with more money, more time and more fun.

Maybe you’re unsatisfied and are ready to make a change, but you believe it’s too impractical, you’re too old in today’s market to do something different or you don’t know what else you’d do that will pay you enough.

So you settle.

Once I met a friend of a friend at a party who, because of his divorce a couple of years prior to our conversation, had to close his business.

He was an adamant advocate of his limited beliefs. It took him twenty years to build his old business, and it would take that long to do it again. It was too late to start anything else. That’s a fact. Period. There was no other way of looking at it.

He couldn’t see that maybe, in his re-creation of his next step, it could be easier and success could come faster. His view was that this was impossible.

Although he appeared to be a nice man, he was one of the unhappiest and most negative people I’ve ever met.

I remembered the saying, don’t try to teach a pig how to fly. First, pigs can’t fly. Second, you just irritate the pig.

Mind you, he wasn’t a pig. But I could see that he got irritated thinking beyond his self-imposed doom.

A picture of my winged pig that can’t fly.

There is a way to manifest your heart’s desire that exceeds your wildest imagination. It starts by getting in touch with the soul of your goal.

The soul of your goal satisfies the true intention of your objective. You feel fulfilled and happy when you achieve a goal that has the essence of what you choose and frustrated or disappointed when you don’t…

Even if you don’t know how to label what you want, you can identify the soul of your goal. If you’re ready for change, even if you can’t describe what it looks like specifically, you can receive satisfying results.


A friend told me that she got what she asked for but not what she wanted:

  • A woman, who had taken care of others throughout her life, wondered when it was going to be her turn to be taken care of. She found out when her health challenges required years of round-the-clock caregiving by others.

Lacking clarity on the soul of your goal can bring less than satisfying results.

Excerpt from my Soulgoals’ program

While there are simple steps to clarify and align yourself with the soul of your goal, here’s something that may help you to start.

TIP: Clear and conscious intentions create a blueprint of what you choose. They replace unconscious pictures you carry from default programming. You attract what you energize with clarity and feeling.
  
Your brain may not be able to fathom how your goals can occur. However, if your intention is in alignment with the soul of your goal, miracles can happen.

Excerpt from my Soulgoals’ program

You don’t have to settle! You can go beyond trying to find yourself, a better life, career or business. You can be satisfied by consciously creating your ideal life or something better!
