- Dream your goal :
When you envision a particular goal in mind, you’ve already begun the process of goal creation, so intellectually you’re transitioning from the operation of goal setting to the operation of goal creation, meaning that in the cybernetic map of your mind your goal is already taking form.
“I first dream my painting, and then I paint my dream.” – Vincent Van Gogh
- Realize your dream :
To achieve any goal you set, you mustn’t be involved with it just at the intellectual level, you first connect to your goal intellectually then you must get emotionally and spiritually invested in it. And the only way to get emotionally and spiritually involved with something is to fall in love with it. You gotta let the idea of you getting whatever you desire to sink in deep in your being and let it move you.
“I am grateful for the idea that has used me.” – Alfred Adler
- Fall in love with your goal :
to get your emotions involved with any goal, the goal has to be emotionally appealing, it has to be something novel and exciting that you know you’re gonna enjoy acquiring, this will keep you motivated to pursue your goal even when the going gets tough.
“when the going gets tough, the tough get going.” – Billy Ocean
- Live your dream :
When you achieve your goal, you haven’t just got something new and better than once was just a dream, you have also turned into a new and better version of yourself. In the processes of goal setting and goal creation, you have been transforming mentally and physically to match the necessary requirements of your goal, which made you into a new person.
Whenever you’re setting goals, seek novelty in transformative experience and let your creativity bloom.
- Dream new goals :
No goal should be the end result, you must always be dreaming and creating because the creative process is a spiritual process, and when it stops, dreams remain fictive. You must provide the right conditions for creativity to ensure, and the only way to do that is by pursuing goals that you don’t know yet how to achieve. If you already know how to achieve a goal there’s no room for creativity and creation to happen.
