The point of asking questions in the right way is to allow the other person to express what they’re thinking in a non-confrontational setting. If there is any wiggle room in their own logic, they will bring it up all on their own. Not only do you learn something about their stance, they may well gain some incites too.

By seeing your process goals through, you will build the momentum needed for those dream goals to have lift-off.

Dealing with creative discomfort means getting the work out there, starting now. That moment of hitting “send”, or whatever “being seen” looks like for you, is like stepping through a layer in the atmosphere into the unknown. When I expose myself this way, what will happen?

Process goals focus on goals that are SMARRT – specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, relevant and time-based. If you and I want to really make these process goals “stick”, we need to partner with them, and like any healthy partnership, we need to work hard to create Presence, Support and Commitment.

It takes putting energy and attention to having a goal and allow it to evolve. A lot of people just won’t bother with putting in the work, preferring to rest of their laurels and play it safe.

The Could Do list is a form of ritual; I’m not forced to act on anything, but just the act of writing an idea down means there is meaning behind it, even if it’s not immediately apparent. Down the road, there will likely be some synchronicity among my ideas and what’s wanting to emerge.
