Hi everyone…I want to share something with you that I have been learning.  Yes, it has taken me awhile to get clarity on this and to be completely transparent I am STILL processing it but I’m always a work in progress so there’s that!

I’m sure you’ve heard me say I am a very task oriented person, very goal driven.  I have always thought that to be a good thing but as a part of some changes I’ve been working to make lately and some things God has revealed to me I found that this isn’t necessarily a good thing because I tend to lose sight of PEOPLE and serving.  At times I think people feel as if I don’t value them, see them or hear them AND if I were to do a true evaluation I would have to swallow hard and say there have been times this is right.  Not because I don’t care but because I was so zoned in on the task at hand or the goal put before me that is all I was seeing! (shame on me!!!)

I do think it is good to have a plan or vision.  We have to have some type of direction of where we are heading BUT we also don’t need to be so focused on the destination that we miss the journey.  The same can be said within our finances…let’s not set financial GOALS.  I don’t want you to be so focused on the end result that you miss steps along the way, I mean our finances is a pretty critical area and one that we need to always be on our game right?  Instead why don’t we trade those GOALS for a financial VISION and I can help provide you with direction to get there.  Whether it is getting AHEAD of your debt, a plan to PAY OFF your debt or maybe just having a manageable spending plan that allows you to live the life you want to live.

Maybe it’s just me but I have a feeling I’m not the only one who can get distracted by the goals I’ve set…anyone else relating? We only get one life and thankfully today is a new day where we can kick those goals to the curb and enjoy the journey to our vision! A lot of times we NEED those relationships, those people, those quiet times, those interruptions because they may supposed to be a PART of our journey.  (Wow, now THERE is a different perspective for you!) 

SO MUCH MORE TO LIFE THAN GOALS…if you can relate to where I am and want to walk with me in making some changes, taking a breath and fulfilling our purpose by serving from our purpose-send me a PM via Facebook or email budgetwithcarla@gmail.com.  Let’s chat – if you want to schedule a Coaching session, that’s great; if you don’t, that’s perfectly fine too – either way I’m here to cheer you on!
