write your goals from an ecological point of view

Think of all consequences of your goal from an ecological point of view. This basically means being aware of cause and effect relationships. Often we have a goal and take action toward the goal f and do not notice all the secondary effects. Some of these may be beneficial and others we may not like.

Just having a goal is a cause and taking action toward your goals are further causes with various effects.

Remember all your actions have many consequences. Some of these are intentional and some may be non-intentional.

When we use the term ecological we mean the effects on all concerned.This is where those intentional and non-intentional effects have to be understood when we set the goal.

Thus a woman who loves her family might put the goal of doubling her income in order to make sure her children have the finances to go to the best universities. However, the extra time she needs to work may mean that she cannot spend quality time with her family and a non-intended consequence of this may end up that her children’s grades drop and in fact they do not get into the university of their choice, even though she has made enough to be able to send them there.

Another example came from a person who was a workaholic and did not look after his health. He described visualizing a beautiful future where his wife and children were enjoying themselves in the brand new seaside villa. I asked him where was he in the picture. He was not in that future. This was a warning from his unconscious mind to change his goals and take things easier and look after himself.

This point of considering all the effects of your actions, when taken globally, becomes an important spiritual part of goal setting. Thus goals which damage the environment, harm others or impinge on the freewill of others may backfire and ultimately damage the person who set the goal.

Imagine if you help kill the planet thanks to global warming or other environmental disasters what will happen to your children and their children and so on…

In a later segment we will describe some affirmations to help make our goals ecological from a spiritual point of view.
