GOAL & EXPERIENCE

Let us assume that you have a goal. You work hard in attaining the goal. Finally, after all your hard work that you achieved the goal. Naturally, you feel elated with your achievement. This celebration stays with you for days or weeks or months. But, this exuberance fades away after certain duration. Now, you may start a new goal and then the cycle continues. What is then the purpose of setting the goals and achieving those goals? Obviously, it provides the direction in life. Other than that any numbers of achievements become simply the anchoring tools that remind you of your specific skills in attaining the goals. It is like a medal collected by winning the competition. A medal is an exhibit of your distinct skill.

Then, what is that which stays with you forever in this game of setting the life goals and achieving those? It is those experiences, good or bad that one encountered in the process of achieving the goals. So, what stays with you is your experience in attaining the goal. In fact, each individual is the construct of these experiences. He is shaped as a personality based on these experiences.

If you ask any successful people of those who achieved certain very distinctive positions then it becomes so clear from their view that the position is not giving the happiness but the experience in attaining the position gives them the happiness.

This realisation is so important in setting up individual mindset while working in the solution zone. Remember that all our attempts at the solutions do not yield the favourable results.  Having realised the fact that the experience in attaining the goal is more important than the goal itself, it is then okay to face the unfavourable results. In obtaining a solution, one may not succeed but the attempt that one made is really significant which sets the experience in him.

In other words, try the solutions with conviction. It is important to give one hundred percent effort irrespective of the end result. It is guaranteed that one gains experience.

Accelerated growth: As per the focusing power of the mind, things get magnified and multiplied where one focuses on. So, it is dangerous to focus on the problem zone because the problem gets magnified and multiplied. It is pertinent to switch to the solution zone. Now, the solution gets magnified and multiplied. Here the solution goes right or wrong. When the solution is in the right direction, it puts us on the growth path. But when the solution goes wrong, it puts us in double growth path. Because here we get a chance to learn something new out of our failure. New learning aligns us in the evolutionary path. This is a must for the human. Without which, we cease to grow.

When the solution is in the right direction, it puts us on the growth path. But when the solution goes wrong, it puts us in double growth path.

Happiness comes not from the goal but from the experience in attaining the goal
