Inspirational Goal Setting Key #1 – Happiness Through Encouragement
Life happens and there are times when frustration or discouragement set in. Sometimes we are more in tuned with our own circumstances than those that surround us. However, it takes little effort to lift the spirit of another. Kind or encouraging words can be given even if we don’t know specifics of a person’s situation. Letting a person know they are not alone can easily be done by small gestures. A smile goes a very long way – especially if a person’s mannerisms give insight that something maybe causing an internal challenge or distress. It’s important to be sympathetic and caring and remember to not always focus on ourselves to be see how something we have endured may allow for ways to encourage others. After all, life is about living around other people, so helping lift their spirits will provide a reward back to us in our own sense of happiness, fulfillment, and contentment.
Inspirational Goal Setting Key #2 – Happiness Through Acceptance
There is no such thing as happiness if you are not at peace with yourself. Too many people have difficulty finding peace with themselves. Part of it has to do with vision and purpose for one’s life and if they are walking in that purpose. Another aspect is self acceptance. Acceptance of who you are, what your gifts are to offer to others, and finding your place, at numerous stepping stones and phases of life, in the world to provide through those gifts.
Life provides numerous learning opportunities and experiences. If we make bad choices, we must learn to forgive ourselves, and learn from our mistakes. We must also be humble enough to benefit from the mistakes of others and seek advice from respectable authoritative sources.
Once we accept who we are today, we can establish balances purpose driven goals and improve the person we will be tomorrow. Both acceptance today and improvements for our tomorrows will increase our happiness since identifying and establishing purpose contributes to our fulfillment.
Inspirational Goal Setting Key #3 – Happiness Through Forgiveness
Human beings often make the mistake of thinking “too highly of themselves” which leads to subjective interpretations of communications, intent, fault and hurt. As a result, it can cause one to hold onto grudges or ill feelings behind hurts and misunderstandings.
Holding onto a grudge is completely self-destructive. The correct response to first remember we should never expect of people to start with and we should allow people to be themselves. We must not allow others to control our emotions and we must be accountable for our own feelings and associated expression.
Hence, we must be forgiving, following the spiritual example and being an example from our spirit and not our emotions. Forgiveness cleanses the spirit, prevents bitterness, and opens the door to happiness.
