Set Goals.
Set weekly, monthly, and yearly goals. Set 5, 10, and 20 year goals. Set MAGICALLY BIG GOALS, and as Sir Richard Branson says, “Catch up to them.”
Write down your goals. People who write their goals down have an exponential advantage to actually achieve those goals, than the people who don’t write them down. A Harvard study has proved this.
As the late, great Zig Ziglar stated on goals, “How can you hit a target, you do not have?” And as the business and personal development guru Brian Tracy emphasizes, “Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement.”
Goals are vital to our progress, success, and lives. There is a divine energy that pulls us and guides us, once we make a decision about going after something. It’s powerful.
There is also another perspective about goals and this energy. There is a fascinating mystery behind it. Here’s the perspective:
Setting goals and executing on them lead to a hidden gold mine of new opportunities. As you work on your goals, your mind expands. You see other ways to create, add value, and achieve different things that were not on your original list of goals.
Example:
I set a goal in the beginning of 2014 to read 52 books this year, a book per week. I ended up reading 33 books. I fell short of my yearly goal, but it was the most books I’ve ever read in a year period. I’ve grown so much as individual by reading these books. It would not have happened if I had not set the goal of 52 books in 1 year.
Now, what’s even more fascinating and powerful is the hidden gold mine I mentioned before. About half way through the year of reading, I felt compelled to create book reviews about what I read. This was the inception of Book “Talk Talk Tuesday,” my video blog of book reviews. Furthermore in 2015, I will be creating a Book Talk Tuesday podcast. All of this was never part of my original plan. The roots of my original goal, sprouted these new and exciting ideas.
Set goals.
Not only because it will help you progress and achieve the things you want. Do it because it will also send you down the rabbit hole of exciting mystery, in which you never know where it can lead you.
Are you ready for the undiscovered journey of goals?
