Did you miss some goals this year? Let\u2019s be honest. We all missed some things. We set some goals and didn\u2019t quite hit the mark. Now it\u2019s December and we\u2019re planning and prepping for 2022 \u2026 and a lot of us are beating ourselves up over the things that didn\u2019t happen in 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just stop. Don\u2019t beat yourself up over missing those goals. That\u2019s the easiest thing in the world to do. You won\u2019t get any blowback from anyone else on that. No one is going to stop you from being hard on yourself. But it\u2019s a cop out. It\u2019s unproductive and it doesn\u2019t get you any closer to where you want to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, I\u2019m here to tell you that you shouldn\u2019t<\/em> regret missing goals\u2014and not just because it\u2019s unhealthy to let regret consume your time and energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A missed goal is an important clue to what\u2019s really going on in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So before you automatically roll that goal over to 2022\u2019s list, I want you to hit the pause button. When you\u2019re repeatedly missing a goal, there\u2019s something else going on. There\u2019s a bigger \u201cwhy\u201d underpinning that failure\u2014and if you don\u2019t figure out what that why is, you\u2019re going to remain stuck in your tracks and miss the goal again next year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead, peel back the layers around that goal. Sit with yourself. Sit with your soul. Ask yourself why<\/em> you didn\u2019t hit your goal \u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you not have enough time?<\/em> Audit how you spent your time this year. Did you get caught up in people pleasing? Are you not setting your own agenda? Do you spend too much time on being \u201cbusy?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you have the right skill set?<\/em> If you don\u2019t, then rolling over that goal to another year won\u2019t change that. Make developing your skill set the goal for 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you have the right power pack?<\/em> Are you surrounding yourself with the right people who can help you reach the goal? Should building out your network be the goal for 2022? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Is this someone else\u2019s goal?<\/em> Or is it just something that \u201ceveryone else\u201d is doing? It\u2019s the next step on the path, but is the path even one you want to be on? You can have the right goal\u2014but be on the wrong avenue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Is this a \u201cshould\u201d goal?<\/em> Are you striving for an outcome that you\u2019re supposed to want\u2014but don\u2019t truly care about? When you\u2019ve done something for so long, you don\u2019t even question it anymore. Have you outgrown or moved on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Does this light your soul on fire? <\/em>When you\u2019re setting a goal over and over and still not meeting it, that\u2019s your soul trying to tell you something. Maybe this isn\u2019t where your talents and purpose lie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you struggling with prioritizing yourself?<\/em> You may want a particular goal and it may be exactly what your soul desires, but if you\u2019re always putting other people\u2019s needs first your goals will tend to fall by the wayside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then dig even deeper on those questions! If you didn\u2019t have time to accomplish that goal, why didn\u2019t you have the time? Whose priorities were you tending to? Why are you putting their needs before your own? If you didn\u2019t have the right skill set, what skills do you need? How can you get them? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Simply rolling over a goal from one year to the next won\u2019t work unless you know exactly why you didn\u2019t accomplish the goal this year<\/em>. When your goals are out of alignment with your soul\u2019s desire, it\u2019s HARD to get things done, to do things that aren\u2019t really you. It\u2019s hard to fake it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have to ask yourself the hard questions about what you did and didn\u2019t get done this year. Not asking those difficult questions chips away at your soul. You can\u2019t walk in your brilliance when your soul can\u2019t express itself fully. And the world needs that from you in 2022. <\/em>More than ever, the world needs your talents, your passions, your why<\/em> for being here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So don\u2019t regret those missed goals. Do not beat yourself up over them. Do not default to \u201cwhat\u2019s wrong with me?\u201d Offer yourself grace to gain perspective. Get excited about doing the soul work! Missed goals are clues to your truer self\u2014let them point the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you miss some goals this year? Let\u2019s be honest. We all missed some things. We set some goals and didn\u2019t quite hit the mark. Now it\u2019s December and we\u2019re planning and prepping for 2022 \u2026 and a lot of us are beating ourselves up over the things that didn\u2019t happen in 2021.
