GOAL SETTING PART TWO.......

Many of us are just one little piece of paper away from living our lives by DESIGN and not by DEFAULT! Living by defaul is really living in mediocrity and really that is not living at all, it's EXISTING.
Mediocrity is living in a RUT...the only difference between a RUT and the GRAVE are it's dimensions! :-)
Friends you are only a decision away from living your life by design. When we set our goals we set the sail as Jim Rohn preached. Look ahead to where you want to go, not back to where you were. If you aim at nothing guess what? That’s what you'll hit. One has to aim high, but not so high as it can not be achieved. Be logical setting goals, set the bar high, yet not too high. Make yourself have to stretch and grow, because by stretching and growing is what makes you better. It is how a butterfly flies. In the cocoon stage a butterfly struggles to get free. It works hard, really hard, yet if you help the butterfly free itself from the shell, it will never have the strength in its wings to lift off. It is in the struggle that we propel our self forward. Do you believe if you write down you goals you can achieve them? Even in my favorite book He said, "
WRITE DOWN YOUR PLANS ON A TABLET. BRING YOUR PLANS BEFORE ME AND I WILL HELP YOU TO SUCCEED." So grab your pad and let's begin.
You must remember that goal setting is much like baking a cake, if you follow the directions on the box you get a perfect cake, follow the directions on a piece of paper and you'll achieve success. Are you still not a believer? Here is more thought to ponder, the Yale Graduating Class of 1953 - Study

• 3% had put their goals in writing
• 97% had incomplete goals or none at all!
TWENTY YEARS LATER......
• The 3% who set goals had 10 times the
incomes than the other 97% combined!

Dreams become goals when they are written down.
Find a goal big enough to inspire you, something that will cause you to unleash your power.
Goals give you a vision that keeps you pressing on.
“Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”
- Napoleon Hill
