Falling in love… with goals? {A creative alternative to Valentine celebrations}

Traditional Valentine celebrations may focus on all things romance-related, but I’d love to propose a creative  alternative, inspired by an idea that recently set my heart aflutter…

Love at first mention

On Sunday evening, I was watching a documentary on the power of positive emotions.

One of the featured guests mentioned, almost in a throwaway manner, the idea of goals you are in love with.

And this short phrase took my breath away.

Having had a mixed relationship with conventional goal-setting theory in the past, I was surprised how my heart skipped a beat when I heard this description.

It was a phrase I’d never heard before but I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

And it reminded me of the latest object of my creative affection – the new vision that came knocking at the door of my mind as I woke on Saturday morning.

It’s an exciting new twist in my creative adventures that has taken pride of place in my heart – undoubtedly the candidate for the goal that I’m crazy in love with. ?

Like all great love affairs – I am completely smitten, absolutely beyond reason and logic, and deliriously excited about it.

And it’s just an idea!!

It’s still early in the relationship, so I’ll be sharing more details after we’ve got to know each other a little better.

But in the meantime, in the spirit of life-enhancing love affairs, I’m hoping I can inspire you to join me in an alternative celebration of the day by identifying a goal or vision that calls your heart…
