When I was preparing for competitive examination at Pune University around two, and a half a decade ago, I was astonished by one thing Mr Dharmadhikari left his IAS officers job after ten years of service. I was so confused that time why people quits prestigious jobs. After that, I have seen many case studies on mid-career crisis and job shifting. Many people fulfil their passion after retirement only.
In my 20 years of research and study, I found that many people are pursuing goals in their life without congruency. How fast you are going that is not more important but which direction you are going that is more important. As per the study of Yeles University and Harward school of business, only 3% of people are living with a goal. 97% of student did not have a purpose.
How congruency is important
Congruency means your action and thought has to align with your goal. When I am giving transformational coaching for my clients at that time, I observed many people, even CEO's. Directors, Principal and entrepreneurs do not have congruency. They are thinking something doing a different thing and expecting something and result comes something else. Many people do not have the purpose of life. If will ask the ultimate goal, most of them become blank. Here once again I want to remind you, "How fast you are going that is not more important but which direction you are going that is more important."
Goal breakup
Your goal setting should be like this first comes your ultimate goal then the purpose of life. Purpose of life is divided into your long term, midterm and short goal accordingly.
We must have to ask this question
1. I am going towards my goal or away from goal.
2. I am doing significant work or just work.
3. Is it my every thought and action aligned with my goal
3. What is the purpose of life and birth?
