As you know it is often not about getting the goal but what you become as a result - the journey more important than the destination. So continue to enjoy the process:-) Thanks Lalitha for sharing your experience of goald setting and goal getting.

I too set goals and by setting a goal I am inspired to take action. Setting goal makes me committed to taking consistent action. However I don't beat myself up, if I don't reach them. Instead, I commit to enjoying the process, knowing that things change during the course of pursuing my goal. Yes, being unattached to an outcome and enjoying the process will definitely keep us motivated. Excellent article. I too set goals and by setting a goal I am inspired to take action.

It was on the national news - simply unbelievable. To come back to your article, yes Mr. Roy is one in a million people. It is so difficult to find such dedication and commitment in people these days. I also believe from experience that long term planning doesn't always work. It is good to be spontaneous at times. Right now my thoughts and prayers are with all those people in Indonesia, the Philippines, Saomi island, who have lost their loved ones and their homes. We should never ever take things or people for granted. We need to often stop and smell the flowers as you would say. A warm sunny hug from Spain, Anne Greetings Arvind from sunny Spain after 3 days of Indian monsoons! It was on the national news – simply unbelievable.

I'm trying to organise my wedding and need a new way... Also thought I'd offer my 'middle way' between goal-setting and goalless movement: setting an intention. For me, this means staying clear about in which direction I want to be moving, but then allowing that to happen more freely - maybe in a more 'zen' way - than I would if I had set a goal in a normal 'life coaching' way. Somehow, just knowing where I want to be means that although my movements feel random at the time and buffeted by circumstance, I seem to end up in my rightful place. Don't ask me how this works, just try it if you're curious :-) NB The trick is to keep checking the intention you set yesterday is really what you want to be heading towards today. Emjoy!

Maybe I will walk one with you! :-) Light and Love my new friend! :-) Brandee Arvind,
