Target setting encounters no target life

Goals set what you like to do, because your plan has a higher purpose? Be careful! Stephen Shapiro's "No Target Life" is a timely reminder that does not let the target ruin your life. As a career-changing coach, I am always interested in new perspectives on goals and goals. Here are the three untargeted tips I got from reading this book.

1. The goal setting of work and life balance is like walking a tightrope in a hurricane

The fast track execution profession often takes years of long-term and personal sacrifice to achieve the goal. This goal may lead to an increase in the number of C-level positions on the board of directors, as well as the attendant salary and allowances. However, for anyone who wants to live outside of work, sometimes it will cost a terrible price - or rather, time and energy to enjoy life. Pay attention to your registered content!

2. Enjoy exploring your river

One of Mr. Shapiro's respondents used an interesting analogy that people without goals are immersed in passionate rivers. For these people, goals and goals may be more like markers on the river bank, or where the current vortex turns into white water. They enthusiastically participate in topics of interest to them, and the moment is more important than some undefined future.

I think this idea has a real value. It reminds me of Tim Gallwey's concept of "Self 1 and Self 2" in another wonderful book, "The Tennis Heart Game."

Perhaps the ideal combination is the way the target setter relaxes and gets rid of him/herself.

3. Master your wishes

In the world of Stephen Shapiro, your purpose, intention or dream becomes something you desire - an ambition. Although "set goals" are often translated into ways to bypass obstacles and obstacles, the fundamental meaning of desire is linked to "inspiration" and "spirit".

The goalless approach is to revisit the mastery journey. Sometimes there is a lack of luster and no excitement when floating in an experienced river. This is expected and even welcome, as these gentle interviews may lead to the current unknown roaring roaring adventure.

All in all, I think the most useful hint from this book is to give up thinking about the baggage of "I will be happy when...".
In the "4 Hours Work Week" worldview, the goal is part of the planning that comes with life adventures. There is no "waiting"... Every day is the unfolding of experience.
