Many of us think we want something and decide that weíre going to have it, whether itís some type of person or professional success, money, a specific job, a partner or something else. But in the end, we donít get that thing no matter how hard we try. And often weíre left confused as to why it didnít work out as we had planned.

Deliberate creation works with the idea that we truly have to believe in something before it can happen. The person who decides he wants a new car thatís a little out of his price range, for instance, may really want the car. He may be passionate about wanting the car. But most of the times he thinks of the car he also thinks about how heís going to have a hard time affording the car.

Deliberate creation attempts to remove that negative thinking. When you want something but you believe that achieving it is going to be difficult, it becomes difficult. Likewise, if you want something but secretly or not-so-secretly believe that getting it is impossible, then it will be impossible.

When creating deliberately, the person takes complete charge of his or her reality and spends time acting on things rather than reacting to them. Thereís a large focus on action vs. reaction. Where itís typically to get up in the morning with several goals or several tasks in mind that relate to a larger goal, those who practice acting rather than reacting will get up and focus on what they want instead of just reacting to things that happen or need to be done.

When you use this method of going about your day, the main principle is to surround yourself with what inspires you and makes you passionate about life. Itís important to first figure out what it is that you truly want. Itís believed that most people donít even know what it is that they want, deep down.

Once you figure out what youíre most passionate about, then deliberate, also sometimes called conscious, creation removes the obstacles in your way. Much of this happens within yourself, regarding the way you think about things. You learn to believe that things are possible.

Then you learn to focus. Focus is a key term because itís the focus that fans of the method claim make everything good possible. First, whatever your passion really is, whatever it is that you really want, must be believed to be possible. Then, you must focus on it and not lose that focus. The combination of belief and keeping what you want most in focus make up the deliberate creation that will allow you to achieve your dream.

1. Procrastination – Procrastination is the number one time thief of all time. It will steal your time and joy if you let it. It is really effortless to allow yourself to procrastinate and not even realize it. Various examples of procrastination include:

• Delaying a job until a later time or date
• Reading email instead of cleaning off your desk
• Cleaning out your vehicle instead of visiting a sick relative

2. Not being responsible – Responsibility is a key factor of goal setting. If you don’t have someone to be accountable to, chances are you won’t hold yourself accountable either. That means you’ll do less and may slack instead of working harder to attain your goals.

3. Wasting time – Wasting time is just about as bad as procrastinating. In fact, it may well be worse. Wasting time and procrastination go hand-in-hand and will kill your goals every single time. Examples of wasting time are:

• Talking on the phone too long
• Playing games on the computer
• Unnecessary shopping trips

4. Unrealistic expectations – It is one thing to have high expectations, and another to expect something that isn’t possible. When you set your goals, be sure to frequently ask yourself, “Is it realistically possible for me to do this thing in this amount of time?” If your reaction is yes, then you’re okay. If not, you should take a closer look at your goal and rethink some personal growth solutions.

How To Set Your Goals In 3 Easy Steps

Many people make goal setting a awkward thing to accomplish. The truth is that goal setting is simple and painless and anyone can do it. Here are three very simple steps that will get you started on the right foot for setting your goals.

1. Decide what you would like

Dream and dream big. There is no wish too big or too little. There is an old adage that goes something like this: “Reach for the moon and fall among the stars.” Not at all settle for “just anything.”

The main key to deciding what you desire is to determine what you are lacking. What is the one thing you wish you could do or have right now that you don’t? If you could only achieve one thing in your lifetime, what would that single thing be?

2. Make your action map

Dreaming big is just one very small part of the picture. You have to know how to get where you want to go.

Once you have a goal in place, it’s time to sit down and set some solid, realistic steps. These steps will carry you closer and closer to your final goal. An action map is not an option—it’s essential to reaching your goal.

3. Do it

All the dreaming and setting up in the world will get you nowhere unless you move yourself into action. Create a plan, and then follow through by getting up every day and doing something that will take you one additional step closer to your goal.

Can you attain your goal? Of course! First dream big, next create a plan, then finally, start working towards reaching your dream.
