Five Major Component Structures of Goal Attainment
and Their Supporting Motivational Centers (wheels of development)
The outermost or first component of goal attainment is the Physical body. Supporting the Physical body component, is “wheel 1”-the basic needs center, which brings attention to diet, rest and sleep.
Associated with the next (second) component, Respiration are 2 wheels of development. The first is “wheel 2”-the emotional center. Attention is directed to the strengths of motivation and creativity. The second supporting wheel is “wheel 3”-the personal ambition center. Goals at this level may begin to be geared to the greater good ideally, but at least reach beyond current needs for food and rest.
The Self-talk, or third component is supported by “wheel 4”-the compassion/optimism center. Someone exhibiting these strengths would feel for others, even understanding the control others may want to exert on their future.
The fourth of the 5 components, Wisdom, is also supported by 2 wheels of development. The first is “wheel 5”-the communication center. This locus considers the strength of social intelligence. Per ancient thought, a person who exhibits evenness of expression would also appreciate the “process” of goal attainment for its own sake. The second wheel of development that supports Wisdom is “wheel 6”-the intuition center. Not only is intuition expanding at this level so is the quality of discernment. This allows a measured observation of the utility of intuitive thoughts and actions.
The fundamental or core area, the Self-realization component is supported by all strengths that were revealed during the interview, as well as mission, vision and flow.
Is this ancient model of achievement and authenticity still relevant today? I believe so; we know that people have not changed in any substantial way for thousands of years. What has changed though is the way we have categorized our experience as either physical or mental. While you can develop expertise in individual areas, you will be left wanting if all aspects of our system are not utilized during goal attainment rites.
