Personal Goal Setting: I Wish I May, I Wish I Might

My little girl LOVES to hear in her words, “I wish I might, I wish I know”. If you do not remember the childhood rhyme, let me remind you: “Starlight, star bright the first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, get the wish I wish tonight.” And then you are suppose to make a wish and if you want it to come true, you are not suppose to tell anyone!

How fun right! Yes, it is with your 3 year old, but what about you? The most important part of this rhyme is that you are not suppose to tell anyone for your wish to come true. So where am I going with this? It is all about personal goal setting and achieving your goals. I think that it may depend on how you work and whether or not you have support from loved ones, BUT IF YOU ALREADY KNOW YOU WILL NOT HAVE SUPPORT: DON’T TELL ANYONE!

Does this sound harsh? Maybe. But loved ones can be dream killers. I know. I have been there and done that with my own personal goal setting. While at some point you will have to tell your friends and family that you have set a goal that you will need help with or support for reaching it, make sure you are either well on your way, or have it planned out in detail so you can answer their questions.

Also, you do not need to tell those who are not that close to you. Co-workers you enjoy going to lunch with, your friend from college, or your poker buddies may not be the best to tell. You may like them just fine, but unless they are doing something to further their lives in a positive way, they may think of every reason possible as to why you could not possibly reach your personal goal.

Setting goals is important. Creating a plan is important. Writing it down is important. And taking action to reach that goal is important. However, telling everyone may hinder instead of help you, so be careful when you are wishing on that star and make sure that you see to it that it comes true!
