Time Frames for Goals There are various time frames. For longer time frames—if you want a longish time frame—you could say, "What's your goal for the next 108 years?" And you may say, "Well, what are you talking about?" It makes you think at least: where will you be in 108 years from now? Think about it. Once you write that goal down, it'll make you thoughtful. You could put down goals for 10 years. (These are all just suggestions.) You could put down a goal for five years. You could put a goal for one year. How about six months? How about one month? I really like 30-day goals because it's a short enough time that you can see the end of it, so it's not too intimidating; but if you can stick it out for 30 days, it gives you a chance to change your habit patterns in your life. How about a one-day goal? If you write down what your goal for the day is in the morning, you're going to be more directed. You'll have that 'Tivrena' effect. What about a goal for an hour? Up in my room upstairs, I have a countdown timer that I carry with me everywhere. I have one at home, one in my suitcase, and I use it all the time to get going. Sometimes I don't feel like going, so what I do is I set myself a five-minute goal. I just turn it to five minutes and say, "Okay, see what you can do in five minutes. That's all I ask of you." Once I take that challenge, then I can start moving in a sanguine direction and get momentum. There are many different time frames that you can create for yourself. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose
