If you are working towards the achievement of a goal it is important to know how that goal fits in with your values. To know this, you will need to listen to your intuition, but there are some times when you will plough ahead without thinking carefully about what you really want. That is where an internal values check can help, because you don't want to waste your time and money going after something that isn't going to best suit your needs.
To check any goal against your personal values, ask yourself these questions:
What might be the upside consequences of my actions? What might be the downside consequences of my actions? What extra will I have do to achieve my goal? How much will it cost in terms of time and resources? Is it worth the price? What do I like about my current situation? How can I keep the aspects of my life that I like while I make the change?
In addition to your personal values check, it is a good idea to examine how your change will affect the significant people in your life. For you to enjoy your achievements, you may want to give consideration to how your loved ones will feel, so that you can maintain your important relationships. On the other hand, there may be times when you feel compelled to make changes in your life regardless of what other people think. Even at these times, it is still important to consider how they might react so that you can prepare for them in advance.
Do consider the answers to these questions also, as the happiness of your friends and family will affect your own happiness:
How will this change affect my loved ones? Does it go against any of their values? How will they react?
Once you have considered your goal from the perspective of time, money and relationships you're ready to go. Get started and achieve your goal!
