We all need goals in our life, something to dream of or look forward to. Can you imagine having a life without any goals or to have a life in which you have everything you could ever want? I think that as we reach our goals there will always be something new or different we would like to achieve or have.

But what kind of goals are you setting? Do you have ‘toward’ goals or ‘away from’ goals? Do you set goals towards the things you want or do you set goals away from the things you do not want?

Examples of ‘towards’ goals are:

• I want to have a toned body and weigh 57 kilo.
• I want to have a promotion in my job.
• I want to live a more joyful life.
• I want to live in abundance in every aspect of my life.

Examples of ‘away from’ goals are:

• I don’t want to be overweight anymore.
• I don’t want to go to a job that I don’t like.
• I don’t want to feel miserable anymore.
• I don’t want to be in debt.

Although ‘away from’ goals can be very motivational, they are not the best goals in life to have. According to the Law of Attraction we attract in life what we are focusing on. Like attracts like.

So if you focus on how you don’t want to be overweight anymore, you are focusing on being overweight. If you don’t want to be in debt, you are focusing on the lack of money and incoming bills. If you keep thinking about that boring or horrible job you have you attract more of the situations you don’t want. So by focusing on the things you do not want, according to the law of attraction, you are attracting more of the same.

Instead of focusing on what you don’t want, you should set ‘towards’ goals. Start to make a list with goals of the things you want in life. Only focus on what you want and the Law of Attraction will attract what you focus on.
