Blinkers!

Goals, goals, goals… another quick reason why I think short term goals are not something to get too heavily obsessed over; blinkers.

And that’s not a swearword from the Carry-On era.

If we stay focused on the goal, aiming for that and nothing else, then we fail to see opportunities just outside of that vision.

When I reflect on the opportunities and creative projects I have had success with they have come about through a goal-less strategy. Had I been too focused on a particular goal then I’m confident I would have missed these chances to create something.

So free yourself from the never-ending verbiage from ‘get-things-done-Guru’s’ and let goals go for a while. Stay alert and just see what comes your way. You may never know what opportunities you may encounter now you have your blinkers removed. Glance sideways and enjoy the view!
