GOALS
I found after a few trip around the sun that if you won millions of dollars and you went to the airport with a dump truck full of money and ask to buy a ticket, they would ask you. Were do you want to go? And if you said look I got this truck full of money and I want a ticket, they would again ask you..were do you Want to GO?
Now most of us arrive in live with a dump truck full of time, and we go to the schools jobs or other airports in life and ask for a ticket. But we do not know were we want to go and we have no goals or a plan for our life, and are not asked for the most part were we want to go. They just take you money (time) and show you a plane to get on.
So we get on the first plane of life and the pilot who we do not know takes off and sets the plane on auto pilot and we are on a unknown trip.
Now for the most part we get to were the plane is going to because even if the pilot is asleep the plane will make all the change to get us to were IT was set to go to...the only problem is that we do not know where or when we will get there.
It could be 4 years or 40, and at that time some of us may look back over this trip with a where are we, what happen, why did I do or not do this or that or were has all time (time is money) gone
It was Samuel Johnson who wrote "the chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they was too strong to be broken."
I HAVE a chain CUTTER.
You did not have a PLAN with Goals. So you went were you were told to go, (like taking a trip to the store) and along the why if you felt like this may not be the right journey for you. But things kept you from making any changes (bills, job, kids, etc) and (I will make the change when I get out of school, after I pay back the money, when the kids to go school, when they get out of school) the ugly chain MANANA of is now part of your life.
I have the CHAIN CUTTER.
Today is the 1st day of the rest of YOUR LIFE.
WERE DO YOU DESIRE TO GO?
What is you PLAN, were is your map on how to get there? I can help you with a few steps that if you take them you will get to were you want to go NOT were the winds of time blow you. You will not be on a 40 year trip to the store but a journey of a life time. Think of this as the road map but you have to drive the car.
You must make a CHOICE where you want to go. This choice must be a burning desire not a maybe. Yours not someone else. (You can not pay someone to lose your weight non is good for you to lose weight for them if you are not over weight).
When you are making this CHOICE write down and read 3 or more time a day what Napoleon Hill said "The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat."
Your GOALS must come together insinz not like when you forgot to push in the clutch and try to shift gears in that sport car. You can not have a goal to make more money and go to the beach all day at the same time.
Your GOALS must make you streeeetch but not break, in that you will find it hard to go from making 20.000 a year working a goal to make 5.000.000.000 in 1 yr. If the goal is too difficult you may became discouraged and quit.
Your GOALS should be measurable and for all area of you life. If you make a lot of money and lose you family or your health. What have you gained? How long would you play a game were they keep moving the goal, changing the rules, the way you score the game. I would say not long.
You need both short and lone term GOALS. What changes do you want to make in the next 90 days 6 months 1yr 5 or 10 years and longer. Remember that 40, 50 or more years from now is not the time to say if I knew that I was going to live this long...I would have......(you fill in the blanks)
Now is the time, to make a CHOICE. Copy and read what Zig Ziglar has told us "Before a person can achieve the kind of life he wants, he must THINK, ACT, WALK, TALK and conduct himself in all of his affairs as would the person he wishes to become." and also Napoleon Hill "Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and Begin at once, whether you're ready or not,To put it into action."
DO IT NOW, DO NOT PUT IT OFF ANY LONGER
Dale Carnegie said "All life is a chance. So take it! The person who goes the furthest is the one who is wiling to do and dare." I am telling you this "CHOICE not chance should determine your destiny but only you can make that CHOICE." Jack B
