Inspiring Thoughts on Achieving Your Goals

I'm forwarded these e-mails every now and again by my lovely mother. I found this one to be particularly relevant to the lives of almost every woman I know, and thought I'd share it. Here's to actually putting pen to paper and making something of those dreams of yours!

Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - 4/6/11 - "Achieving Your Goals"



If you're going to get what you want in life, it is only common sense
that first you have to know what you want. Even beyond that, it is
absolutely essential that you take your desires seriously enough to
goal-set to achieve them. 

I am convinced that the reason most people fail to achieve their goals
in life is that they never really set them in the first place. Most
people spend more time planning a wedding or a vacation than they do
planning their lives. And by failing to plan, they are actually planning
to fail, by default.

You see, your mind is like the homing system in a torpedo or an
automatic pilot. Once you clearly and specifically commit to a target,
your mind uses negative and positive feedback from your environment,
including your internal environment, to adjust your behavior.

But if you program your mind with vague desires, nonspecific goals, or
fuzzy ideas, the feedback will be meaningless. For example, if you
goal-set for a better standard of living, how will you know when you
have achieved it? Any improvement at all will be something better. But
if you have a highly specific target, such as doubling your income, you
will always know when you are on track and exactly how far you have left
to go at any given moment.

Remember, you have the power to achieve whatever you want in life, and
commitment to specific goals is the surest way I know to tap into that
power.
