Have you ever heard of inspired goals? If you want to live a more meaningful and purpose-driven life, then you need to set INSPIRED goals, and here are 4 reasons why.
Do you want to wake up feeling excited? Do you want to go through your day feeling GREAT and happy and positive?
Let me tell you a little story about me.
I used to feel completely unmotivated. I dreaded going to work, I didn’t have the drive to work on my career, let alone my passion. I lacked the emotional and physical energy to do much.
I wasn’t enjoying life.
But then as time went by, I started to feel scared that life was passing me by and I was missing out on experiences and I wasn’t enjoying life to its fullest. And that’s one of my biggest fears: to waste time and not live life fully.
So what did I do? I took things into my own hands because I am responsibly for my own happiness and my life, and I wanted to make sure that I was doing everything in my power to maximize my life experiences.

What did I look like in practice? I won’t bore you with the details but since 2013, I’ve been setting goals, I’ve been taking every opportunity to learn about personal development so that I can become the best version of myself.
It meant reading books, going to workshops, listening to documentaries. It meant doing self-help exercises and seeing a therapist.
I did the inner work.
And what happened?
I transformed myself and from there, I was able to transform my life.
And with all those experiences, I learned this one important lesson: if you want to create a life that you love, then you have first love yourself so that you can understand, at your deepest core, what that dream life looks like, so that you know, in your heart, that you deserve it, and that you CAN achieve it.
Which has led to me create this process of setting and achieving inspired goals, because that’s what I want for you. I want you to feel excited about life, to feel empowered to take control of your destiny, and to create a life that you love.
What Are Inspired Goals
Inspired goals align your thoughts, values and beliefs with your purpose.
It’s a way to ensure that the goals that you are setting are meaningful for you, that give you a clear direction in your life.
But more importantly, inspired goals are goals that give you purpose in your life. That make you feel like every day is worth waking up for. It’s goals that make you feel excited to jump out bed so that you have the time to work on achieving them.

Inspired goals help you align thoughts and actions so that you are living authentically to who you are and what your beliefs.
Why Inspired Goals Are Better Than Traditional Goals
Inspired goals are more powerful than traditional goals because your approach to setting these goals and then achieving them is more holistic and authentic.
The basis of setting inspired goals isn’t the WHAT (what you want to achieve) but how you want to FEEL and who you want to BE.
Whereas traditional goals focus on the WHAT : what do you want?
Which can easily become superficial and material: I want a new car, a purse, a big house.
And don’t get me wrong, it’s okay to want those things, as long as the foundation..the reason behind why you want them to begin with, are inspired reasons.
For example, if you go through the process of setting inspired goals and you uncover that you want a big house, that’s fine! You might want a big house so you can host your friends and family all the time and have celebrations. Or you might want a big house because you want to foster children or host your nieces and nephews all the time and you’re trying to create a safe haven for others.
Whatever the reason behind your goals, as their inspired, that they speak to you, that they excite you, and that give you a deeper meaning and purpose, you will find that trying to achieve those inspired goals will become a lot easier and intuitive.
So here are 4 reasons why you should be setting inspired goals.
Reason 1 | Create a More Meaningful Life
Like I mentioned before, when you set inspired goals, you are uncovering the real meaning behind the goal so that the goals align with your values and beliefs.
In other words, when you set goals that are important to you, because they will make you feel a certain way or will help you create a lifestyle that you want, then you will have more motivation to keep trying to achieve them.
And when you set inspired goals, you’re able to understand and appreciate the importance of the “little” things in life, such as being present in the moment, or staying patient and recognizing that some things take time but that the results will be worthwhile.
When you set inspired goals, every thought, belief and action have a meaning and a specific purpose. They will bring you closer to achieving your goal, they will help you create life of your dreams, but more importantly, they will bring you closer to becoming the person that you were always meant to be.
Reason 2 | Find Your Purpose
Even though you might not uncover your purpose right away, I have found that the more you directed your efforts towards setting and achieving inspired, the more you can create a meaningful life, which in turn will help you create a more purposeful life.
And keep in mind that your purpose will change with time and will look different in practice as you learn more about it and the more you implement it.
Finding your purpose and the true reason behind why you were put on this earth is a powerful moment because when you’re able to use your qualities and skills towards the greater good and towards contributing positively to the world around you, the happier you will feel.

Your purpose can be as general or specific as you want it to be, and it will become clearer with time, the more you work towards achieving your inspired goals. But it’s definitely an incredible feeling when you feel like your life has purpose.
Reason 3 | Feel Happier
Since inspired goals focus on the BEING rather than the DOING, this means that you will be working on a lot of foundational elements and requirements that are needed to create a more meaningful, purposeful and inspired life.
Which means that you will be working on yourself to be able to become the person that you were always meant to be, to live that life that you’ve always dreamed of.
And the outcome is inevitably going to be that you will feel happier. Because when you set inspired goals, you’re taking the time to truly listen to heart and your soul to understand what it truly wants and then working on achieving that.
And as you work towards achieving your goals, you will challenge yourself and work on yourself and as you grow and become stronger and wiser, the happier you will feel. Because growth is one of the basic human needs, and as you working towards achieving your goals, and if you’re really doing your best, then you will also feel happier.
Reason 4 | Become a Better Version of Yourself
Like I just mentioned, as you work towards achieving your goals, you will constantly have to be working on yourself as well. You will have to cultivate the right mindset to be able to achieve your goals. You will have to work on building the habits that will support your goals. You will have to practice patience and discipline so that you stay consistent on cultivating the right mindset and building those habits.
And through all that, you will become a better version of yourself.
Because to transform your life, you have to first transform yourself.
If you want to create a life that you love, you have to first love yourself, which means that you have to work on yourself. And the more you work on yourself and understand who you are and what you want to achieve, the easier it will become to get closer to your dream life and what you want to create.
