Inspirational Goaling is really about the art of goaling – creating a whole new level of accomplishment and accountability that is in sync with who you really are, and with the natural laws of the universe. Lynn Moore illustrates her points by weaving rather hilarious stories (if you read the book, you will laugh out loud) of her voluntourism trip to Kathmandu with lessons she learned there about setting and achieving goals. On what seems like a whim, on the surface, Lynn traveled to Kathmandu, Nepal to teach English to Buddhist monks. Her resolve was tested all along the way, and ends with the adoption of a scrappy Tibetan terrier she names Atma (which is the Nepali word for “Soul”).
We are at major shift in history and in consciousness – shifting from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age. The economic upheavals that began in 2008 heightened our attention to these shifts. The shift we are currently experiencing is distinguished by feeling a need to change vs. fearing change. In addition, spirituality is now being talked about more than religion.
In the past, teaching people to set and achieve goals emphasized a left brain, linear approach. Follow the steps in the right order, set time limits, analyze, and voilá, you’ve achieved your goals. If you could put your goals in bullet point form, even better.
Inspirational goaling is goal attraction, not goal pursuing. It requires you to reframe how you think of setting and achieving goals. We are so used to pushing toward and pursuing what we want, that it is a challenge to think of drawing the goal toward us, or letting the goal draw us toward it. While this can seem to be a passive approach to goaling, it is actually a deliberate, conscious, and therefore, active one.
The inspirational element of goaling requires developing intuition, or developing an awareness of intuition. You have natural intuitive abilities, but you may not have utilized them or practiced using them. Using intuition means listening from pure love. Intuition comes from the root words meaning “inner teacher”.

n The Think Big Manifesto by Michael Port, it is one of the best, most compelling statements of being and purpose I have found. It’s the book that launched PersonalGrowthPrincess.com – literally and figuratively.
