Using your strengths to get to your goals faster

We all have goals - some more iron-caste than others and some people really visualise and break them down into smaller daily goals so that they can achieve their larger goal over time. Setting goals is a whole subject which I will go into at another stage however aiming for goals which compliment your strengths is the way to go for greater achievement and levels of accomplishment.

So, lets look at strengths. What are your's? Do you know? Have you ever thought about them? You probably use your strengths every day - kindness is what I would term my highest strength and I use it daily - nurture my son, respect my partner, look after our chickens, say thank you... sit down and work out yours - 1. Ask friends and family - just ASK what they think your strengths are and get them to name your top 3... If you do not want to confide in a friend go through your daily and weekly and monthly habits and list the recurring strengths - for example if you wake up every day at 6am, walk the dogs every single day without fail, you are never late for work, you always do what I say these portray strengths of loyalty and tenacity; 2. Create a story around these strengths based on what you WANT. For example Love animals, loyal and energetic - I run a dog walking business that gets me out and about and lets me care for the animals OR use a 'my ideal day scenario' where you write down what your ideal day would look be and visualise it using these strengths; 3. Break the story down to what you would love and what you would struggle with - Easy to collect dogs and walk them but I have no idea how to start a business; 4. Find a friend to revisit and brain storm these stories with - go back and forth creating and recreating the scenarios. Don't let potential issues like cost, time and what people think come into it - these can all be overcome; 5. Work at it and when you feel satisfied - you know that fabulous feeling inside where you have nervous butterflies and feel you are on the brink of starting your new story - that this is what you want, start goal setting to achieve your story. We will look at values and purpose in the future but I would place a bet that when you feel satisfied with your story that many of your values and your purpose shine through your story.
