How Do You Know If You’re A Goal Setter?

I have a short story for you today.

Once upon a time a lovely lady named Judith, sat gazing out her bay window at the fields, streams and mountains in the distance. She sighed at their beauty and lamented the fact that she just wasn’t happy even with her wonderful surroundings.

She needed something more in her life, but she didn’t know how to go about getting it, didn’t know how to start. In fact, she didn’t even know what it was! She just felt this craving, this need.

At one time she had heard about and even tried ‘goal setting’, but it didn’t work for her and so she accepted the fact that she just wasn’t the kind of person to be a ‘goal achiever’.

She rose from her window seat and lethargically moved across the room toward the door, but something caught her eye. There was a large mirror in the room and there was something written on it. How odd! Puzzled, she moved closer to the mirror and was able to see and read these words: “Judith, you have been a goal setter and achiever since the day you were born.”

Yikes! What the heck was this? How did these words get on the mirror? It was as if the mirror could read her thoughts and more words appeared.

“Yes, you and every person on this earth is a born goal setter and achiever, the only difference between you is that you either choose your goals CONSCIOUSLY or you automatically reach UNCONSCIOUS goals. Wherever your thoughts go, you go.

Judith was intrigued, but confused. She needed some clarification.

And the mirror obliged with, “You have been thinking that you are not a goal setter and therefore unable to receive the things you want, and what has happened? You have not received the things you want. You unconsciously set it up to not receive what you want. What do you think would happen if you changed that thought to ‘I succeed in knowing and receiving what I want to be, do and have in my life’?”

And the mirror went on to write, “Your unconscious believes everything you tell it, it cannot differentiate lies from truth. It accepts negative and positive thoughts as just energy then sends that energy out like a giant magnet to attract what you are thinking. And so everyone who has a thought, no matter what it is, is a goal setter and that includes all human beings. Simply become a conscious goal setter by listening to what you tell yourself and change the thoughts that don’t serve you.”

As Judith awoke and found herself still on the window seat, she slowly sat up and thought, “What a strange dream.” She glanced over her shoulder toward the mirror on the wall. It was normal in appearance, but Judith could still see the writing on the wall, so to speak.

How about you? What’s written on your mirror?
