Goals are for setting direction only, Invest in Process and actions not in outcome - Personal Mastery | Lead Happy Life

1. Goals are for setting direction only, Invest in Process and  actions not in outcome - Personal Mastery | Lead Happy  Life    We have been taught from our childhood, first, decide your goal and  work towards it. So we work hard for good scores in competitive exams,  elocutions and sports to stand out over others. We are happy when we  reach our goals. But what happens when we cannot reach the goal? The  sad feeling of failure and frustration! When thirty compete,2-3 are  happy winners and all other failures!!    The best thing is to focus on the process. Be happy ‘doing’ things  without bothering about the outcome. Enjoy the process of  ‘competition’.If you win, wonderful. If you don’t win then also wonderful.  Happiness is all along the lane not at the end of the lane.    It is a good thing that you have a goal to reach the Everest top. After  you reach there, how long will you be happy? Maximum half an  hour.Further, what if you had to give up the expedition, just before the  last day because of a snowstorm? Failure! The best thing will be to enjoy  the expedition throughout starting from the base camp.No body can  take away that success from you.    You are a high schoolboy. You have a goal to become a great engineer.  Surely this will help you to decide which entrance exam to choose. Once  you do this, put your best efforts, don’t think where you reach. You may  get into IIT ( very good), NIT ( (this also is good)or other state  engineering college( this is also wonderful). Focus on the process. A  good result will mostly follow. Even if the ‘goal’ is missed, that is also  wonderful as something better may be awaiting for you.    Suhas has a job that requires a lot of travelling. He does not get  enough time to share with his wife Sudha. Due to a busy schedule  sometimes he forgets to call Sudha. Today he is in Delhi. Tomorrow he  will be returning home and be with Sudha for her birthday. He bought a  nice Silk Sari for her. He was eagerly waiting to see a great smile from  his wife on receiving this surprise gift. 

2. On coming home, Suhas showed the present to Sudha immediately. She  said,”15 years of marriage and still don’t you know I don’t like these dull  colours? You spent Rs.8000 for this Sari? I would have got two  Kanchivaram Sarees with this much money when I am going to  Bangalore next month!”    Suhas spent the whole day lying on the sofa in the hall and escaped to  the next destination city on Monday.    You have no control on the outcome. Invest in the process and actions,  not in the outcome. Goals are required for setting direction, nothing  more.    The problem with focusing on just goals in life is that you can fall into  the trap of feeling happy only when you’ve achieved your goal. You may  fail to consider other outcomes. If you consistently do your best every  day and focus on improving, instead of obsessing over the outcome,  most likely you will get better results.    Any creative or innovative process is more empowering than a one-time  blow of achievement.    Tags - ​Personal Mastery​, ​Lead Happy Life​, ​Goals are for setting  direction only, Invest in Process and actions not in outcome    For More Information, Visit Us -    Website - ​https://leadhappylife.com/  Our Blogs - ​https://leadhappylife.com/blog-listing/  LinkedIn - ​https://www.linkedin.com/company/effective-mind-power-academy/  Facebook -  https://www.facebook.com/Effective-Mind-Power-Academy-109820333969400  Youtube - ​https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP2wtYDjEMqvcY4m90T0jtQ
