Setting Goals

Get Money

Setting Goals

Have you ever wondered why some people achieve success and others don’t? Mind you, success is whatever you define it as. For instance, if you wanted to become a school teacher and you have realized that goal, then you were successful. Or, if you wanted to retire from the military and you did, then you successfully obtain that goal. However, how many of you realize that once you achieve a goal the mind is satisfied for just a short time. After that, the mind seeks out bigger and better goals. As it should! Because, the only constant is change! We grow or we die, and there are all kinds of deaths; there is mental death; physical death; social death; and, economical death to name a few. How many of you realize that we are living in a physical reality created by the mental (thought), and to live heaven on earth you should be wealthy. Thus, to achieve this one must go through a mental and economic resurrection. Setting goals is a way of getting what you want.

There is an old saying by Henry Ford, if you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always gotten. If you get what you have always gotten then you will also have the same feelings of failure. At this point, I am talking to those who never seem to quite get what they want. Know this, your feelings combined with your thoughts of failure is keeping you in a rout. You have to mentally keep yourself in a good place; then setting goals will take you there. Mentally see yourself in a better place, in the midst of the ghetto create your heaven. Don’t be a victim of circumstance, create your own circumstances.

Now for those of us who just want to live wealthy, and I am talking about wealth in terms of better health, more money, and/or better relationship with family and friends. Setting goals is also a tool to take us there. Everything is mental, if you were planning a trip, first you would need a destination. If you don’t know where you are going then any road will take you there. But if you have a specific destination (a goal), now your mind can guide you to it. It is really that simple. So, start setting goals!

Could you imagine getting into a taxi cab and telling the cab driver to take you there? He would ask you where is there? Let’s say your reply is just drive; I’ll know it when I see it; that will be an expensive trip. Many of us have been paying for that very trip! And, that is a very irresponsible way of living one’s life. When we take responsibility for our lives, life will respond to us in a way like never before. We have to know where we are, and where we are going mentally and clearly. Again this is done by setting goals, clear and vivid goals. When these goals are written down the universe conspires to bring them to us.  I challenge you to name one thing that was built without first being a thought.  The thought became a plan (written down), and that planed goal manifested as a reality. We see things from the inside out. Setting goals is a must! Of cause, only if you want to achieve success.
