Goal Appreciation versus Goal Accomplishment

March 25, 2011 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Being in the Moment

I found an interesting post on lifetick.com and it reminded me that we need to focus as much (if not more) on why we do what we do as we focus on how we do what we do. A reminder that it’s about feelings more than actions.

An excerpt from the post I found:

In its simplest form, goal appreciation is basically being able to sit back and appreciate the fruits of one’s labour. In other words, being able to appreciate what it is you have just achieved. Toasting the success, savouring the moment, cherishing that sense of accomplishment in all its glory. Now I’m guessing some of you are already saying “Oh yes I’m familiar with this and it certainly is talked about, so what is the he on about?” Well, it goes a bit deeper. Because in this newly created definition the concept extends to a period well before a goal is actually achieved. It in fact goes way back to the goals very conception. Not only that but it then continues to evolve and grow throughout the entire journey…

And if one were to retain anything from this post then this would be the point: The essence of goal appreciation is “being in the moment”. What does this mean? It means doing what you love and loving what you do. It means doing it well or not doing it at all. It means taking that task that may be one of a thousand toward a goal you are achieving and doing it with passion and commitment because anything less will only take away from the final completion of that goal and of course the appreciation that is to follow that event. But there is more (there’s always more). We always think that everything in life is about the destination. I contend that it is in fact the journey that matters. Without the journey, there is no destination and if you haven’t focused yourself on each step along the way, then you haven’t really gained all that you could from the journey.

What’s Most Important to us?

One of the vendors of TTIMI is a company called Lifetick. They design the coaching software that I use with the people who sign up for this service. I was scoping out their blog today and they have a post from October, 2008 about “What Do You Value?” Since everyone who uses their service enters in what’s most important to them (referred to as “core values”), they’ve been keeping track of the Top 10.

I don’t think there are any major surprises, but it’s interesting to check out. The chart below shows the top choices. There are some pretty cool surprises if you read the article.
