Achieving Goals
Achieving goals on time, every time – who does that?! Approximately 80% of my clients achieve their goals in the intended time-frame, sometimes sooner, which is exciting. (Bear in mind that they have committed to a process of fast-tracking their achievements) However, there are often goals that are more challenging than expected, or there are random interruptions that occur throughout life, such as sickness or technical delays.
It can be disheartening to feel like your goal is too far off, but it’s important to remember two things.
1. Keep Moving! It doesn’t really matter how fast you’re achieving goals, just don’t let discouragement stop you in your tracks. Keep focused on the big picture and keep moving forward, little steps at a time.
2. The journey is often more important than the destination. It’s great to achieve goals, but don’t lose sight of the learning along the way. Who you become on your journey to the goals tends to be more significant than the goal itself.
Have a super month, learning, celebrating and achieving goals!

I can’t agree more my friend!! Our desires always change and often times what we think is an end goal is just the beginning of an amazing vision we have not yet seen… The journey must be enjoyed, first and foremost, because that journey in itself is what makes of us the person worthy of holding and achieveing that goal…
Like you said in another blog too, realize that being too attached to your goal can actually hurt you. Set your intention and keep moving forward, have faith that you will move at exactly the speed and intensity that you need and believe in the magical world you live in
There is a big difference between forcing your way forward and being in the flow

What great words Kerrie. I totally agree that the journey to achieve a goal is just as important, and in many cases more important than the goal itself. This is why coaching is such a fabulous profession as the joy in seeing a person self discover things about themselves that are life cahnging is wonderful.
