Summary: Set Goals, Live Dreams – Specific Spiritual Goal Setting
Why should we have clear spiritual goals? The answer is that they are first in the SPECIFIC goal setting method because they are the foundation of each and every goal we set in all of the other areas. (S=Spiritual, P=Personal, E=Emotional, C=Career Growth, I=Interaction, F=Fun, I=Increase Wealth, C=Clean Up Chaos and Stuff). Most of us [...]

goals The answer is that they are first in the SPECIFIC goal
setting method because they are the foundation of each and every
goal we set in all of the other areas. SSpiritual, PPersonal,
EEmotional, CCareer Growth, IInteraction, FFun, IIncrease Wealth,
CClean Up Chaos and Stuff. Most of us have aspirations in other
areas of our lives personal educational career financial
recreational however, the spiritual aspect of our lives should be
the most imperative.ltPgtltPgtThe idea that we should set specific
spiritual goals for our lives is not the typical perspective for
many Christians. Some schools of thought will profess it is quottoo
legalistic.quot Typically, this is because these individuals view
spiritual goals as a rigid, allornothing standard of success or
failure. Dan Miller refers to this line of thinking in his book, 48
days to the Work You Love, as quotsanctified ignorance.quot My
belief is that it is immature theology combined with a life
surrendered to mediocrity to think it is fine to just get up every
day and quotgo with the flow.quot Scripture indicates that Paul had
a life of focused purpose. He identified the goal and created a
plan to support that purpose. Miller also states that quota goal is
a dream with a time frame of action attached.quot You should have
identified spiritual objectives with practical action steps.
However, it is important to remember that we can have valid
spiritual goals, but pursue them by our own strength instead of
Gods strength. We need to rely on Gods wisdom and power through
consistent prayer in regard to our goal identification.ltPgtltPgtSo
what are some of your spiritual goals You can begin to identify
these goals by asking yourself the following questions
ltBRgtamp8226 Where am I spiritually and how do I want to grow
ltBRgtamp8226 What do I believe about my eternal purpose, and where
I am in relation to that purpose ltBRgtamp8226 Do I spend time in
prayer and quiet moments and contemplation ltBRgtamp8226 Do I read
scripture on a daily basis ltBRgtamp8226 Do I attend church and
have a church home ltBRgtamp8226 Do I engage in community service
in my church ltBRgtamp8226 Am I offering my God given talents and
gifts to my church or other organizations ltBRgtamp8226 Am I
helping others ltBRgtamp8226 Do I have confidence that my desires
and dreams are divinely inspiredltPgtltPgtWriting our goals down
makes them real, and we can refer to them frequently to assess
where we are. After reviewing the above questions, take out a piece
of paper or go to your computer and record three spiritual goals
that you desire to achieve this month. Try to be specific as you
record your goals. An example of a vague goal quotI will read my
bible each day.quot On the other hand, an example of a specific
goal quotI will read chapters 115 in the book of Matthew over the
next 30 days.quotltPgtltPgtSome examples of scripture that
communicate a connection between spiritual goalorientation,
motivation, and fulfillment are as follows ltBRgtamp8226 God is
goaloriented. Jn. 517 Eph. 110 ltBRgtamp8226 Setting goals are a
part of being made in Gods image Gen 215 ltBRgtamp8226 Jesus and
other biblical individuals were spiritually goaloriented. Lk. 1332
Jn. 174 1 Cor. 926, 27 Phil. 313,14 2 Tim. 47,8 ltBRgtamp8226 God
encourages Christians to be goal oriented 1 Cor. 924,25 2 Pet. 158
1 Pet. 315 Heb. 1024, 25ltPgtltPgtSetting spiritual goals is the
first step in the SPECIFIC goal setting process. Moreover, setting
these goals will help you to attain greater life fulfillment,
purpose and meaning. So, go tackle your spiritual goals and live
big dreams, one day at a time.ltPgtltPgtSusan A. Thompson, PhD, is

ltPgtFirst off, lets understand the basics of the coaching
relationship. Its so easy to get locked into a power struggle with
your teen. As the struggle escalates, communication shuts down. The
conversations get louder and louder, but nobodys listening. As a
coach, you let go of the need to control. As a mother of three
grown children, I know thats scary. But, lets face it, the command
and control technique doesnt work with teenagers anyway. So, take a
deep breath and remember, we can only control our own
behavior.ltPgtltPgtI became interested in applying coaching
techniques to raising teenagers when I offered my adult daughter a
sample session. We really struggled when she was a teen, but she is
turning into a delightful young lady. At the conclusion of the
session, she thanked me for listening to her and she had also
realized some things about herself that will help her develop into
the person that she was meant to be. That did not happen all the
years that I tried to control her behavior and keep her out of
trouble.ltPgtltPgtNow that were clear on the coaching mindset, lets
talk about the techniques that coaches use to help clients reach
their full potential. After all, we all want our children to grow
into the best adults that they can possibly be. Coaches facilitate
transformation by listening intently and responding with powerful
questions. You can coach a teen around many issues School
performance, job choice, and choice of friends come to
mind.ltPgtltPgtA professional coach has been trained in the use of
coaching models to ensure that clients identify and address all
facets of an issue. These models are intended to help the client
identify the issues they face, become aware of where they are now,
form a vision for their future, and strategize to achieve that
vision. The client is responsible for setting the goals,
determining what action steps are appropriate, and taking the
steps. The coach supports the client and holds them
accountable.ltPgtltPgtHow does this translate to the parentteen
relationship Lets say a teen is struggling in school. The parent
can help the teen solve this problem by asking questions to
identify the issue. OK, I know the report card seems like the
issue, but lets find out what the teen has to say. Appropriate
questions might be Are you struggling to understand the material
Are you spending adequate time studying Are you getting adequate
rest Do you have an appropriate place to study Help your teen build
accountability by allowing them to examine their behavior and come
up with the answers. Resist the urge to jump in and tell them what
the problem is.ltPgtltPgtThen the parent might build awareness in
the teen by asking questions like what will your life be like in 5
years if this pattern continues Is that what you want How do you
plan to achieve that future Then, let the teen build a vision. How
would they like their life to look in 5 years How likely are you to
achieve that After building a vision, its easy to move into
strategizing by asking what the logical next step is and how you
can support them in taking that step. If you commit to doing
something for your teen, do it, and hold them accountable for
fulfilling the actions that they commit to.ltPgtltPgtIf youre

ltPgtIn the world of business today, trust is more important than
ever, especially when it comes to your relationships with your
clients, customers, employees, and all stakeholders in your
business. But what do we mean by trust. Websters dictionary defines
trust as the assured reliance on the character, ability, strength,
or truth of someone or something. Your Strategic Thinking Business
Coach believes that trust is right at the foundation of the
survival and success of any business. Without trust there can be no
sustainable business. Trust is a strategically critical issue in
any type of relationship because a relationship without trust is
not really a relationship at all. Over the longterm, business
success is dependent upon a network of positive relationships.
Trust is invariably the critical component in enhancing business
relationships. The moment a person is not trusted by an individual
or team, their chances for success within that group are diminished
dramatically.ltPgtltPgtOne of the major challenges and problems
facing businesses today is the building of trust internally among
the employees, management and ownership to create a healthy and
productive work environment. Research has shown that trust is the
basis for creating healthy work environments because it forms the
foundation for effective communications, associate retention,
motivation, and contributions of discretionary energy from Susan
Heathfield, Trust Rules! The most important secret.
2002a.ltPgtltPgtYour working relationships that have been built on
trust are an important sustainable competitive advantage because
trust is so valuable and so rare. The level of trust a leader is
able to achieve with his or her associates is contingent upon the
associates perceptions of the leaders ability, honesty, and
integrity. A study that was conducted to determine whether trust
could be a source of competitive advantage. That study showed that
trust is significantly related to sales, profits, and turnover. The
study also concluded that quotthe ability of a general manager to
earn higher trust from her or his employees likely creates a
competitive advantage for a firm over its
rivals.quotltPgtltPgtThere are certain components of trust that
every client, customer or other stakeholder in your business looks
for in doing business with you. There are several levels of trust
and I have chosen five 5 to present in this article. A first level
of trust is trust in technical competence and know how. Clients and
customers are looking for someone whose level of competence
inspires trust. A statement like quotJust trust me!quot is woefully
inadequate in todays world. There is an obligation and a duty for
you to provide explanations that are clear and concise and not
overly simplistic.ltPgtltPgtA second level of trust is trust in
ethical conduct and character. Your reputation is paramount and
your honesty and integrity must be impeccable.ltPgtltPgtA third
level of trust is trust in your interpersonal skills and
relationship. You must ensure that your clients and customers
believe that if they tell you something about themselves, their
business or any sensitive information, you will handle it with the
utmost respect and confidentiality.ltPgtltPgtA fourth level of
trust is trust in you being transparent and open in your business
relationship. A lack of transparency will make you much more
vulnerable to damaging your business relationship.ltPgtltPgtA fifth
level of trust is trust in you being a quotperson of your wordquot
and holding yourself accountable in all actions within your
business relationships.ltPgtltPgtYour Strategic Thinking Business
Coach encourages you to fully realize the benefits of business
coaching to strategically build trust within all your business
relationships. If you would like to learn more about how a

width232 height201gtltPgtA life coach salary will vary according to
the experience and success of each individual person working in
this field. Over the past 10 years, life coaching has become a
popular profession. The technique is a combination of management
training, career counseling, and sociology.ltPgtltPgtLife coaches
work with a client on a oneonone basis to nurture personal growth,
set goals and modify behavior. Based on the assumption that every
person can achieve their goals under the correct guidance, a life
coach will act as a mentor, helping his or her client through
various lifechanging processes.ltPgtltPgtUnlike psychotherapy, life
coaching does not analyze past failures or events. Instead the
technique involves formulating a positive plan to achieve small
goals on a stepbystep basis, how to balance professional and
personal life, and how to overcome fears. In fact, if a client is
suffering with diagnosed anxiety or depression, he or she will not
respond positively to coaching.ltPgtltPgtThere is no formal
training required for life coaching. Many nonaccredited
practitioners and psychologists work as life coaches. However there
are training programs available for those wishing to learn the
techniques. Employing a life coach is expensive.ltPgtltPgtThe
average charge in the USA is 165 for a 45 minute session. Multiply
this by 5, because thats how many consultations are recommended,
and youre looking at more than 800. That works out to 3.66 a
minute. Only between 10 and 20 percent of life coaches ever get to
earn a six figure salary, according to a reliable
website.ltPgtltPgtThe average annual salary for a life coach in
America is merely 30,000 to 40,000. This clearly indicates that
there are many life coaches out there earning a lot less than
30,000. The only way to get up into the higher earning ranks is to
get some really good training and work your butt off. You are going
to have to get out of your comfort zone and be prepared to work
long hours and make many sacrifices.ltPgtltPgtIf you pull up your
sleeves and find a fantastic mentor, you could convert that 30,000
per year into 30,000 per month. Its completely up to you, but it
can be done. Therefore a life coach salary is absolutely dependent
on each individual and how hard they strive for that goal. Consider
this rather ironical situation when you do become a well paid,
highly successful life coach, you are going to expect your clients
to stretch as far as they can to achieve their goals. At least you
will understand what stretching yourself feels like!ltPgtltPgtIn
order to get ltA hrefquothttpwww.lifecoachsalary.comquot

alignquotleftquotgtltagtltPgtHigh self esteem or self confidence,
is not something some lucky people are born with, a lot of it lies
in our upbringing, and how your self image have been build up
through life. If you want happiness, success and fulfillment you
need high self esteem. If you appreciate yourself, and look at
yourself as worthy of whatever you find important, you will
automatically have high self esteem, and a strong self image, which
is your conception of your beliefs about yourself.ltPgtltPgtIn fact
how you see yourself will always influence your thoughts, your
actions, your feelings and your behaviour. And all that put
together with your abilities and from that comes the results you
produce in your life.ltPgtltPgtSo if you have low self esteem, you
will have an inner image of yourself as some sort of a failure or
defeat, and you will see yourself as not very worthy, and probably
feel like you are a victim of circumstance and bad
luck.ltPgtltPgtAnd if you have high self esteem, your inner image
will project optimism in everything you do, it will be like seeing
yourself as a worthy person, and have a great self confidence. You
will feel like you have a purpose, and be positive in most, if not
all of your actions.ltPgtltPgtPeople with high self esteem, are not
beating themselves up when they fail at something, they go right
back to being optimistic, and see what some might see as failure,
as a success, much like Thomas Edison described it when inventing
the electric light bulb. quotI dont see myself failing 3000 times
with this, I am certain that it will work, and I am 3000 tries
closer to successquot Not quite accurately what he said, but I
think you get the point here.ltPgtltPgtFrom this we can also see
that high self esteem people have a sense of direction, and a feel
for what they do as important. When things dont work out right for
them, they usually stand back, and look objectively at their
results, and find what they can correct in order to produce another
result, as opposed to low self esteemed persons, who often do the
exact same thing to get the exact same results, and they dont have
a clue why.ltPgtltPgtSo, what is the secret to high selfesteem
Basically, it is accepting the self, and then peeling off the
layers of conditioning and lies that have caused self esteem and
self confidence to decrease and be buried.ltPgtltPgt7 steps To
Increase Your Self Esteem And Self ConfidenceltPgtltPgt1. Accept
where you are in life, and dont keep beating up yourself when you
fail at something.ltPgtltPgt2. Get at peace with your past, your
weaknesses and your strengths.ltPgtltPgt3. Dont take yourself so
seriously, we all make mistakes, and its not the end of the world
every time.ltPgtltPgt4. Work on loving yourself for what you are,
we are all unique persons, and we all have a worth in life. And try
to understand that you are here for a purpose.ltPgtltPgt5. Remember
and cherish your successes, no matter how small they are, it will
help your mind learn that success is a part of you. Praise yourself
when you achieve something, it is your achievement, and praising
yourself for your success is quite the opposite of beating yourself
up for failing.ltPgtltPgt6. Visualize yourself with success and
high self esteem, see the person you would bee if you were a
success from the outside, study himher, how they walk, breath, talk

ltPgtManagers and business owners are far too busy in this frantic
world with unimportant things. Oftentimes, their days go past just
like a blur, without even one second for reflection. We allow all
our workers time off for lunch and tea to rest their limbs. Why do
we not allow our busy minds time off as well An experienced
business coach helps clients make time for quiet reflection on the
basis that this will increase their profit too.ltPgtltPgtMany
people often tell me that they are far too busy to take time off
when I suggest they take short breaks. They say that they simply
cannot afford the time or so they think to take a relaxing walk
while enjoying a healthy lunchtime snack. Instead, they spend every
minute of every day at their desks, sometimes flying into
frustrated rages, sometimes making wrong decisions, and sometimes
even overlooking business opportunities too.ltPgtltPgtA skilled
Business Coach knows that this is a very inefficient use of
brainpower. Business owners and managers should think, not do
substantive work. All great successful people will reply when asked
that their best ideas came in moments of quiet contemplation.
Psychologists believe that thought is a process whereby individual
brain cells connect. This electronic sequence relies on our bodies
for physical support. When these physical processes tire, our
mental prowess deteriorates too.ltPgtltPgtThis is one reason why we
need to rest our brains as much as we need to rest the other parts
of our bodies. Largely this happens when we sleep. Our brains also
need pauses in the middle of a busy day as well this is why I take
my lunchtimes walking in the fresh air. Something else also happens
during these meditative restful moments. Our brains have idle time
to create fresh thoughts, and we have time to listen to these too.
As business manager or owner, can you afford not to take time to
profit from quiet contemplationltPgtltPgtA business coach will map
time out for quiet reflection in a clients busy schedule and help
ensure that this takes place. He or she will also act as a sounding
board for their clients own fresh ideas, and a mirror in which they
can see their true selves unfolding. Find out more about how quiet
reflection could increase your business profit too.ltPgtltPgtJohn

width227 height153gtltPgtCan you imagine the Baltimore Ravens
without a coach I mean could you imagine any professional team
without a coachltPgtltPgtYet we often wonder what possible reason
anyone would want to use a coach for their small business. Below
you will find just 7 of the many benefits of business coaching.
Actually I am going to focus on the benefits for small
business.ltPgtltPgtSmall businesses can often struggle for growth.
Their owners and founders are struggling to wear the many hats that
are required for them to be successful. Business coaching can
provide a great deal of benefit for them.ltPgtltPgt1
ltSTRONGgtFocus ltSTRONGgt As entrepreneurs small business owners
often lose focus of where they are going with their business. A
business coach can help them stay focused on creating their vision
for their business. Like every thing in life, the greater our focus
the greater our results. It is very easy to get distracted and
allow things to take our eye off the ball.ltPgtltPgt2
ltSTRONGgtBrainstorming ltSTRONGgt A great way to solve problems
and come up with unique ways to make your business more profitable,
brainstorming is often tough to accomplish. A small business coach
can provide experience and energy to help you brainstorm ideas. If
you have never used brainstorming to generate ideas, a good coach
can save you a ton of time and get straight to producing
results.ltPgtltPgt3 ltSTRONGgtSystems ltSTRONGgt A business coach
is going to be familiar with systems that a typical entrepreneur
may not have experience with. They can provide insight into which
systems would be most appropriate for a small business to
implement. There is an amazing amount of work that has been done to
develop very successful business systems. It only makes sense to
take advantage of them.ltPgtltPgt4 ltSTRONGgtTools ltSTRONGgt To go
along with systems, you need tools to implement them. It could be
suggestions on accounting software, online delivery programs,
blogging tools, and social media. You can even use an ltA
hrefquothttpwww.simpleology.comcoachingquot relnofollow
targetnewgtonline business coachltAgt and experience some pretty
cool tools like online training.ltPgtltPgt5 ltSTRONGgtCommunity
ltSTRONGgt Instead of operating in a vacuum, business coaching can
provide you with connections to a wide range of people. They
provide a connection point for business owners in different areas
to connect and be able to interact and help each other.ltPgtltPgt6
ltSTRONGgtSpecialized trainingltSTRONGgt Many times you may need
very specialized training. An example of this could be business
management coaching. Learning how to structure the systems and
tools you use to manage your business. This type of training can
help you create a business that works for you rather than one you
work for.ltPgtltPgt7 ltSTRONGgtAccountability ltSTRONGgt The
biggest benefit to using a coach is accountability. They can hold
you accountable for the plans you develop for growing your
business. Many times it is easy for us as small business owners to
led deadlines slide. Having someone keep us accountable is a great
job for a coach.ltPgtltPgtRemember that a coach is an investment
not an expense. Focus on the Return on Investment with anything
that involves your business.ltPgtltPgtFinding the right coaching
can be a challenge. If you want a free report on how to use a small
business coach to make your business more profitable and provide

alignquotleftquotgtltPgtMotivation refers to the dynamics of
behavior, the ways in which our actions are initiated, sustained,
directed, and terminated. Motivated action begins with a need that
causes a drive, which activates a response designed to attain a
goal. For example, it is a very hot day and you have been on a hike
and you are thirsty. You can no longer wait until the end of the
trail to get water. Motivation is brought on by the need for
water.ltPgtltPgtYour thirst drives you to take the necessary
actions to get water and you are now willing to walk 100 ft out of
your way to a water fountain. After drinking the water your
motivation subsides due to your thirst being quenched. In this case
motivation is proportional to need because had you not been
extremely thirsty you would have waited for the cold bottle of
water available at the end of your hike rather than walking out of
your way to drink warm water from a public
fountain.ltPgtltPgtStimulus motives express our need for
stimulation and information. These include physical contact,
exploration activity and curiosity. Secondary motives are based on
learned needs, drives, goals and are related to our need for power,
approval, status, security, achievement and the need to be
with.ltPgtltPgtPrimary motives are the only motives that are innate
and must be met in order for survival. These innate needs are
fundamental because they help to keep the body running at an
optimal level. Like machines, humans have an intricate running
system that needs to maintain homeostasis, meaning it needs to
regulate and maintain a stable constant condition. When our bodies
deviate from that steady state there is an automatic response to
try to regain.ltPgtltPgtAbraham Maslow amassed a large body of
research related to human motivation, which lead to his creation of
a hierarchy of human needs. After reflecting on life, most believe
they spend the majority of their conscious time in
selfactualization. Maslow described the need for selfactualization,
as the desire to become everything that one is capable of becoming.
After years of seeking outside validation to prove they are being
the best they can be, most people realize the pursuit of approval
would never bring them a sense of purpose or genuine selfesteem.
After many years, they have a sense of fulfillment through a
fellowship with humanity, social compassion, profound interpersonal
relationships, a true love and appreciation for nature, comfort in
solitude and the ability to be present for other
people.ltPgtltPgtDavid Hale, is the CEO ampamp Founder of
