I was poking around doing some research on what other bloggers are doing discovered this 4.5 minute video that has some absolutely incredibly powerful distinctions about overcoming fear, shifting from goal-setting to living by theme and staying in the moment instead of time-traveling.
These are all powerful pointers for living at a higher level.

For All of the Goal Setters In My Life -- this may just may relieve a little stress! (this time with the link to the article from Fast Company! )
Gotta think about this one some more, but I think he's onto something profound .... Jesus even said, 'What does it profit to gain the whole world and lose your soul?' Matthew 16:26
So, how then do we move forward in life if we don't rely on 'goals' and goal seeking behaviors to propel us forward? Perhaps it's to walk with God and to do the next thing He calls us to and perhaps it's to have a 'global sense' of who God has wired us to become and to lean joyfully and whole-heartedly into that future.
I have taught this same 'goal setting' legend in many classes on success and how to move your life forward and yet I've found over the past few years I've not used that material much at all because it just wasn't working for me, either. I simply cannot teach what doesn't work for me. So, I'm not surprised by this article, probably more relieved and recommitted to simply walking with God as my primary 'success endeavor'.Enjoy Life More by NOT setting goals?

3 Primary Growth Catalysts for Christ Followers … from Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life by Donald S. Whitney
God uses three primary catalysts for changing us and conforming us to Christlikeness, but only one is largely under our control. One catalyst the Lord uses to change us is people. "As iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another" [Proverbs 27:17]. Sometimes God uses our friends to sharpen us into more Christlike living, and sometimes He uses our enemies to file away our rough, ungodly edges. Parents, children, spouses, coworkers, customers, teachers, neighbors, pastors--God changes us through these people.
Another change agent God uses in our lives is circumstances. The classic text for this is Romans 8:28: "We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Financial pressures, physical conditions, even the weather are used in the hands of the Divine Providence to stimulate His elect toward holiness.
Then there is the catalyst of the Spiritual Disciplines. This catalyst differs from the first two in that when He uses the Disciplines, God works from the inside out. When He changes us through people and cirumstances, the process works from the outside in. The Spiritual Disciplines also differ from the other two methods of change in that God grants us a measure of choice regarding involvement with them. We often have little choice regarding the people and circumstances God brings into our lives, but we can decide, for example, whether we will read the Bible or fast today.
