It’s a “Number’s Game.” Success is as simple as 2+2 = 4

As a Life Coach, I have the great privilege of working with people as they identify and achieve their goals. The process is exciting. My clients identify goals that are inspiring, fun and energizing. Once they have something great to look forward to, they can strategize and create an action map to achieve that goal. And then, operating on the exciting future that they have created for themselves, they can take those actions and achieve goals.

The process is very fluid, but, there is one very large missing piece that can be a stumbling block for my clients, me and most human beings. The stumbling block is our desire to know WHEN we are going to achieve the goal, and unfortunately, “when” is a mystery. We don’t really know if our goal will be achieved in 1, 10, 100 or 1000 steps. That is hard for us to live with – our mind takes that information and begins to use it as a reason to stop taking action and to stop trusting ourselves.

Here is a perspective that is helpful when dealing with the issue of “when.” Let’s say, there is a finite number of steps, between you and your goal. We don’t know what it is, but we know that it is finite. If that were so, then the faster you take the steps, the faster you get to your goal. This is simple math right? If you are committed to taking 5 steps per week, try taking 10 instead with the knowledge that you are cutting the time between you and your goal, in half. Make this into a Numbers Game.

The bottom line is that your goal will happen at some point. The trick is to quiet your mind during the process, by operating from an empowering perspective. So try on the Number’s Game, and make the process more fun!
