Abraham-Hicks on Goal Setting

August 3rd, 2007

I recently had a member of my meetup group ask about setting goals and attaching a time limit to the goal. I told her that I don’t do that for a particular reason. Gotta love LOA in that Abraham was kind enough to address this issue on the full workshop cd from 6/16/07 Fort Collins, CO.

When you say, “I’m a goal setter”, we would like to put that in a little different format for you. We would like you to understand that your life is what is setting your goals. Your contrasting life is what’s throwing things over there in vibrational escrow and you are incrementally building this fabulous life. When you set a goal, what you are really doing is deliberately lining up with what you have already put, over there, into vibrational escrow. Sometimes by setting a specific goal, it causes you to focus more specifically, which serves you very well because you line up with what you want faster. But if you set a goal, that you don’t believe, it turns you upstream. When you set a goal that you do believe, it turns you downstream. So, we wouldn’t be too heavy handed on the time frame. We would say, “things are coming into alignment for me and what’s in my vibrational escrow is real and the universe and all the universal forces know who I am and know what I want. And I am deserving of these things and I am so looking forward to it and I am thrilled that they are coming in their own good time. And I love focusing because it feels good focus”. But we want your goal setting mind to line up with the idea because it feels good not to use your goal setting mind to line up with the idea to make it happen. You don’t have to make it happen. It’s happened. You just have to let it happen, now.

To me, it is basically saying that you don’t have to focus on the outcome, but rather toward being happy about when it will come into being. All we have to do is allow!

Running my own personal development organisation I am always on the look out for ideas, quotes etc. I also try to see both sides of any argument, present the options to my clients and let them decide. Just as you point out that you do not attach a time limit to your goals, I would say that you should have an idea to aim for.

For example, saying “Someday, I’ll do that,” it is likely that you actually won’t do it. Or telling yourself you want to do something doesn’t get you started on the path of actually doing it. Many times I have found out that have a timelimit or deadline gets people started even if they miss the time.

A question I have been asked is, “If I miss my deadline, have I failed?” I responded by asking if they ever say to a friend that they will meet them at a certain place and time? Most occations the response is “Yes,” the next question is are you sometimes early, late or change plans before the time? Again the response is mostly “Yes.”

What can we learn? We all make plans and set deadlines, plans change. As long as you use what is right for you, what gets you started in taking action, then do it. If you (in the minority in my experience) can have goals and work towards them without also having a timeframe, excellent, continue to do so, otherwise find what works for you and do that instead.

I came across your website today. I love it. Very well done. While reading through it, I am reminded of a saying that I have tried to live by all of my life which is, “If you really want to do something, you will find a way – if you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.” Keep up the good work.
