Having goals and working for them is a powerful way to find
direction, success and
fulfillment in life. It is through clear
and sharp goals that you lead a purpose driven life and bring
control and order into an otherwise chaotic and uncertain life.
There are many types of goals. In this discussion we focus
mainly on long term goals.
Successful people use goals to regulate their lives. They
know where they want to be one year from now and ten years from
now. Many people are reluctant to set goals in their lives
because they do not want to subject themselves to a rigid
framework of goals and actions, losing their freedom and
spontaneity, and deal with the pressures and expectations it
creates. But goals are important and necessary to achieve
success in life.
By creating powerful goals, you can change your life forever.
Your goals expand your vision and keep you motivated. When you
feel challenged by them, they bring out the best in you, and
help you transcend your own limitations and weaknesses to
realize your true potential and competence. As you get into the
habit of achieving your goals, they build your self-esteem and
self-confidence and push you to your limits.
Goals have the potential to make an ordinary person
extraordinary and the impossible possible. They can transform
your dreams and desires into reality. If there is one sure way
to achieve success it is this: create well defined goals and
live for them, as if nothing else exists. Think of them
constantly, day and night and saturate your mind with the
thoughts of reaching them, no matter what the challenges are.
Everything becomes possible for those who live with such an
attitude. Neither loneliness nor boredom nor failure can stop
them. Like soldiers in the battlefield of life, they march on,
undaunted by the challenges lying ahead, with their gaze firmly
fixed on the target, flexible but firm, realistic but determined
and positive but well prepared
