Big goals are not only
more fun and exciting;
they carry more weight
than small ones.
Ambitious, serious,
“weighty goals” have
attraction power.
They attract others into
the process and
magnetize ideas and
resources. Big goals
pull you along. They
pull you through the
difficult times and help
you remain diligent.
They inspire you to
greater innovation and
effective action.
I’m not a scientist, but
from what I understand,
the bigger the mass, the
greater the gravity.
Larger planets like
Jupiter have more
gravitational pull than
Earth because of their
greater mass.
And so it is with our
goals and dreams. The
bigger they are, the
more they tend to
attract what’s needed
for their fulfillment.
And it’s not just the
SIZE of the goal that
matters. It’s how
important it is—how
badly you want it. Your
passion and your desire
infuse your goals with
magnetism.
An inspiring goal that
benefits many will grow
in size and weight. And
the greater the good,
the bigger the goal.
Let’s say you have a
goal to improve your
credit rating. It’s not
that big of a goal, but
it’s a worthy one. Your
credit report impacts
your ability to obtain
loans—even your job
opportunities. But when
you realize that a
higher credit rating
could save tens of
thousands of dollars
because of lower
mortgage rates, it
becomes a much more
important goal. It gains
weight because you see
how it affects the
livelihood of you and
your family. It’s
emotionally charged.
What about starting a
business? You’ve always
wanted to own your own
enterprise. Another good
goal.
But when you have a
VISION for your
business, when you write
a business plan and
launch the enterprise,
your goal becomes
serious. Everything and
everybody pays attention
to it. It begins to draw
to it all that’s needed
to bring it to fruition.
We are unlimited in what
we can choose to
achieve. But our time IS
limited. We must think
carefully about what we
really want and why we
want it. This way, we
can choose wisely and
invest our time and
energy in goals worthy
of our best efforts.
When we do this, we
become aligned with our
goals. By choosing and
working toward weighty,
worthy goals, we allow
their magnetism to work
in our favour. They’re
easier and more fun to
achieve. There’s less
frustration and faster
progress.
Make sure your goals
have gravity.
