THE ZEN OF GOAL ACHIEVEMENT
Organizational and corporate approach to goal
setting and goal achievement is straight forward. Goal setting and achievement is taught as a
technical skill class to high-school seniors or freshman year in college. Leadership within the structure of any organizational
team requires familiarity with the framework of goal-setting and achievement
mechanics.
# # #
The common element in the practices of goal-setting
and achievement consists first of a definition of what is a goal – a specific
objective to be achieved and its associated plan outlining the actions steps required
to achieve the goal.
Classically the defined goal must be:
specific, measurable, realistic and action-oriented, it is time-bounded.
In the corporate world, the goal must be written and shared with a team or with
a supervisory level in the case of an individual goal pertaining to personal productivity. When the goal involves a team it is shared
with the team. Planning the goal achievement process involves the entire team
if appropriate.
Strategies to manifest results and achieve the goal are
ideally a product of a consensus agreement of the team. Responsibilities are
shared among team members. The progress towards
the goal achievement is reviewed periodically.
If this description sounds to you linear and
mechanistic – you are right. It is
typical for the western philosophy to view the world in straight Euclidian
geometric lines.
# # #
But wait. There
is a vast universe outside the corporate world.
There is society besides western civilization. Intelligent people in all societies who
achieve big goals are aware that goal-setting and goal achieving is not linear and rigid as described. Some paths to achievement are circular or
elliptical.
Goals, all goals, materialize through spiritual
channels. Anything that is spiritual is
not necessarily a straight line. Consider
this saying:
“Thoughts
are like boomerangs, returning with precision to their source.
Choose wisely which ones you throw.”
Thoughts move around in
circles or ellipses. Every completed
cycle returns to the sender after undergoing some “processing”, or some
remodeling. The thought that returns is
reshaped and “refitted”.
As a thinker you do not
need to do anything physical, except observe your new and improved intellectual
product. If you like this new product be
ready to receive it.
We call it, Zen Attraction & Manifestation.
Goal achievement is a gentle Zen like process.
We call it Zen-like
process knowing full well that no one knows for sure what the Zen state
is.
As we explain elsewhere each goal is conceived first
in the mind. A goal is a thought. A goal has
a thought at its inception. A thought is
spiritual, and everything spiritual has a way of materializing.
The Law of Attraction is always creating.
It does not need committees, nor does it obey management’s deadlines. Once you wrote down a goal the Law of
Attraction starts to assemble and match the required components for completion
and final manifestation of the objective.
The Law of Attraction processes are ceaseless. The Law of Attraction does not go on a
holiday vacation.
The process of manifestation can be effortless if
you do not stand on the way of manifestation.
The universe is infinitely rich in resources and the universe does not
need human assistance in manifesting.
# # #
Time to manifestation, or a “deadline”, is not
subject to managements’ directives because time is relative. People and governments change their time to
fit their convenience. They call the
time they set standard time or change
the digit on the clock and call it day
light savings’ time. Big corporations
notoriously miss their production deadline.
# # #
Here is what you and your team can do to achieve a
goal.
Decide among yourself
what the goal is, as clearly as you can.
Do not change your mind about your goal in the midst of the process.
Determine approximately
what supportive resources you will need to materialize – achieve - your goal.
Anticipate receiving of your resources
from any supplier, expected or not.
Watch how the goal is manifested. Be ready to accept it! If your help is necessary you will be told.
Try it for yourself –
test the Law of Attraction.
