Please also read [see: ” G.I.M.O.<\/a>“].<\/p>\n Quite dynamic<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n This is why I call it \u2018action planning\u2019 instead of \u2018action plan\u2019.<\/p>\n In this blog, you find an outline of the \u2018why\u2019 of such formalization. This can be used for the complete AURELIS project and for any subproject. For instance, any coaching can be seen as a tiny subproject.<\/p>\n Goals<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n One can conceptually write down (in a list of bullets) the goals. Are they the real goals, the \u2018deeper goals\u2019? These may be quite different. Still, without properly knowing one\u2019s real goals, lots of effort may be wasted. Efficiency tumbles. Thus, it is needed to know \u2018real goals\u2019, resisting the idea that these are already known and that thinking further would be a waste of time.<\/p>\n People generally like the idea of being conceptually in control. To \u2018know\u2019 the goal is stress diminishing. That is a main reason for people to stick to one even before giving it enough thought, then to quickly change to another goal if the first one doesn\u2019t fulfill its promise.<\/p>\n Finding your deeper goals provides better and more consistent direction. The less changes of goals in the course of time, the less is the risk that huge efforts may get lost. Additionally, a truly deeper goal contains more power of attraction even if it\u2019s not clear how this power may exactly be generated. It does so \u2018as if by itself\u2019.<\/p>\n Insights<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Having one\u2019s goals more or less clarified, other insights are almost always worthwhile. This of course should not lead to \u2018analysis paralysis\u2019.<\/p>\n It\u2019s interesting to strive for insights, to work with them, to write them down, to cherish them, to look for constructive feedback, in short: to see insights by themselves as valuable assets.<\/p>\n In general, this is being done way too little. Insights are not really tangible, so appropriately validating them is not always evident. Additionally, much depends on their quality, as a matter of fact.<\/p>\n Motivations<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Even with well clarified goals and insights, little moves without proper motivation. Motivation = fuel. Even while having one\u2019s truly inner goals clearly in mind may be very motivating by itself, giving more attention to motivation in different aspects is almost certainly worthwhile.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not only valuable to clearly know them, but to also \u2018live\u2019 them. Real motivation comes from deep inside. Without it, there is a risk of presenteeism, absenteeism, burnout etc. The reverse of this is of course a state of flow, with lots of inspiration, working together, going for it.<\/p>\n Obstacles<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n As anything else, these may be hidden. With some thought, important obstacles may be found out before they wreak havoc. Additionally, an obstacle may hide a deep motivation. For instance, a fear of success may hide a very deep longing for success and a fear of not attaining it in the end.<\/p>\n A global AURELIS G.I.M.O.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n G.: validating and bringing into practice a synthesis of rationality and depth. This, in an ethical way, comprises openness, respect, freedom, depth and trustworthiness. [see also: \u2018Five Aurelian Values<\/a>\u2019]<\/p>\n I.: mind and body are two ways of looking at the same wholeness of human being. Thus, \u2018mind\u2019 directly influences \u2018body\u2019 (because mind = body). In addition, we are not consciously aware of much inside \u2018mind\u2019 that is of deepest importance to us.<\/p>\n M.: millions of people can be helped in this direction. Their suffering can be relieved. Their human potential can be optimized. They can lead better lives with much reduced cost to society.<\/p>\n O.: Present-day culture \u2013 worldwide \u2013 is just starting to get ready for this (r)evolution. Much is at stake even while many people are not yet aware of it.<\/p>\n This G.I.M.O came to me without giving it much thought at the moment. Of course, I\u2019m thinking about this already quite a number of years.<\/p>\n Are you touched by this G.I.M.O.? Please let us know.<\/p>\n
