Lighthouse Planning
Goal setting is an important part of staying active,focused and excited about the future. 1
Some goals in our life are clear,simple and easy.For example,to make a homemade dinner every Sunday is such a type of goal for me.To achieve it,I only need to create a list of supplies to buy and set aside time according to my schedule.
2 In terms of these goals,I love the idea of“lighthouse planning”.In this technique,we reach a goal by imagining it as a lighthouse in the distance.It's dark as we get in our boats and we don't know exactly how we're going to get to that bright destination.But our lighthouse never stops flashing in the distance and it is never entirely out of sight. 3
Now think about your lighthouse and identify it. 4 For example,you might set your goal as“I want to become more creative”.Identifying your lighthouse is a way to start your journey with big purposes.
But if you look around and realize that your lighthouse is getting farther away rather than closer,you should redirect your path to your lighthouse. 5 If you've ever rowed a boat,you know there can be headwinds and storms along your journey.In that case,focus on the next spot on the horizon instead of powering through all the way to the end.
A.Just give it a try.
B.Don't wear yourself out.
C.We can make a plan that will get us there.
D.A lighthouselike goal is something broader.
E.So we start rowing in the direction of the light.
F.However,some goals in our life are bigger and more challenging.
G.Having goals and keeping moving to them is part of walking a positive path.
