We have all gone places before and along the trip we forgot how we got there. And if asked to go back, it would be a very difficult task. Goal setting is a lot like taking a trip, imagine yourself going from a aspiring singer, to someone who is all of a sudden singing in front of thousands of people. When you are called to go out on the stage you are ready because it's where you always wanted to be, but your story will have more moving parts than just going from the thought to actually doing it. Those moving parts are called your goals.


Believing in your abilities, staying focused, and continually learning and growing are all attributes that will come into play in order for the end result to turn out the way you like. Now all these will happen if you are able to reach the level of growth that you want, but, setting down and mapping out your path will not only increase the likelihood of achieving what you want, it will allow you to enjoy the trip on more levels. One of the advantages of setting goals is you are able to reward yourself after you reach a milestone on your path to the proverbial top.
Some of the decisions involved in goal setting, are based on things like time, the new year is a great time to commit to this. Another indicator that now is a good time to set a goal is an opportunity presents itself. And finally your decision to change what's going on in your life, can many times be the most motivating factor, when setting a goal, because once you say to yourself with conviction, I've had enough of this, you will make the psychological shift necessary to not only commit to writing down, talking about, and living your life as if, your goals are already accomplished, but, you will begin to monitor the growth process involved both inside, and out.
We are all given the ability to create, and the more you start to think outside of yourself possibilities have no limits. Remember everything that you can visually see now, at one point was an idea inside of someone's mind. But just because we all have the gift to create, does not mean that our results will be the same or will we accomplish everything on our time scale. We must all persevere. You will do it,start today write two goals that you want to accomplish in the next 30 days, and when you do,celebrate, and make two more, don't stop. The last point I want to make to help you get to where you want to be is, help someone else get to where they want to be, very few things happen faster than when you open the door for someone else. It's like you are actually opening the door for yourself. Be Blessed.
