After you go through a clear, focused goal-setting process (and perhaps formulate your goal as a prayer, like I’ll show you in our upcoming workshop), there’s still a long way to go before those ‘dreams’ become your destiny.
Fortunately, there is a kind of ‘glue’ that you can stick on to your goals so that they become your inevitable destiny, insha’Allah.
That ‘glue’ is habits, or as I think of them, your ‘rituals’.
Instead of focusing your mind on 5 years from now when ‘one day’, you’ll eventually have memorized the Quran and become a hafiz, instead, focus on building the habit which, when triggered daily, makes that ultimate goal inevitable.
In this case, the habit might be waking up earlier and spending a few minutes each day memorizing a few lines of the Quran before starting the daily grind, for example.
When you know exactly what your #1 goal is that you want to achieve in life (which takes some thinking and prioritizing – and putting other goals on the back-burner for a while), and when you figure out what habit(s) would make achieving that goal absolutely inevitable, then you start the real ‘work’ of goal achievement.
That ‘real work’ is focusing single-mindedly for at least a couple of months (start with 40 days and build from there), on repeating that habit daily.
If you want to know exactly how to set your goals, prioritize them, ritualize them, then forge those rituals into your destiny, I invite you to join me for the Dreams to Destiny Workshop:
