How my day at the beach reminded me of the goal I had set.
By zaheen | July 7, 2009
I am visiting my family for a month in Mombasa. Today is day 6. Mombasa is a small town on the coast of Kenya. This is where I grew up and every Sunday would be our day at the beach. My mother would prepare a picnic basket and all eight of us in the family would be so excited when Sunday rolled around. Those are the memories that I grew up with and when I had my daughter, of 4 years now, I had made up my mind that I wanted the same for her.
My first Sunday here, while on holidays, we went to the beach. I breathed in the salty breeze and my feet sunk into the fine white sand as I walked into the beach club that we would frequent. The smell of the sea coupled with the images on the beach brought back happy memories. The first thing my husband, daughter and I did was race to the seashore and let the waves wash over our feet. Oooh the water was cold, but felt so good! Arissa, our daughter, couldn’t wait to go for a swim so she went into the Indian Ocean with her dad. We then drank some coconut water from a vendor that was selling coconuts on the beach. In addition, Arissa got excited when she saw camels strolling on the beach and we asked one of the camel guides to take her on a 5 minute ride and she loved it! I was so happy for her, for us and for the opportunity to create these memories because in the end this is what it is all about, isn’t it?
This is when I had realized that what I teach in the Wealthy Mind Program is so important and so true (of course). There is a section in the program where I talk about ”9 Keys Successful People Have in Common”. One of the keys is Setting A Goal. This January I set a goal that I would be in Mombasa, Kenya. Remember, your goal is your target and it has to be specific and measurable. In addition, reading your goal or giving attention, energy and focus to your goal everyday is important. This is the same as Law of Attraction - You attract into your life whatever you give attention, energy and focus to. I set the goal that I would be in Mombasa this summer or December.
But setting a goal isn’t enough. The second key is Setting Your Intent because your intent is your journey towards your goal….your target. When you set an intent something magical happens. Try this: Say to yourself “I want……….. (fill in the blank) and now say “I Intend to or my intention is…….(fill in the blank). Now when you say the above, what is the difference? Doesn’t the latter sound like it is already happening? I have taken a video of my day at the beach which will be posted in August because the internet connection here is a little slow.
Set the intent for today. For example, set the intent to have a great day or set the intent to experience synchronicities or set the intent for your job interview or working day. Go on, do it and tell me how you felt and what happened and I look forward to your comments.
