The moral of the story is this: We thrive when we have a positive goal to move toward, not just a negative state we’re trying to move away from.

As we kick off a brand new quarter, what goals will you be moving toward?
What are you excited to celebrate on September 30?
In my Bold Goal trainings, I always emphasize the importance of wording, focusing on, and moving toward what you want to create – not what you wish to eliminate.
It’s a subtle but important difference, especially when you’re reviewing or rewriting your goals every day!
This week, write (or rewrite) your goals in the positive.
Take a look at your Q3 goals – or even your goals for this week.
Are they focused on where you want to be?
Are they worded positively?
Do they prompt a clear vision in your mind of what you’re creating?
Play around with the wording. (For more, visit this article from the archives.) This quarter, put your energy toward what lights you up!
