The Power of Goals!

It is Phenomenal, the power that goals , and goal setting have on the outcome of your Life!
Without goals their is no success! As a matter of fact, I am going to stretch the boundries and say that without goals their is no consistent Happiness in life!, Yes, thats right no goals, no happy! The reason I say this is because it is the pursuit of goals that truly makes us smile, it is the getting closer that excites and invigorates us. So, in essence it is not the obtaining of goals that makes us happy but the pursuit, the challanges , the intermitent rewards that really gets those happy bugs a buzzin!

Lets take successful Athletes, or Business men- why do they keep wanting more once they have achieved? Why try to run faster than the fastest, why build higher than the highest, why make 10 million, when your goal was 1 million? Its the chase, not the finish! Of course their is a climatic eruption of Happiness once you achieve your goals, but then you want something else. Such is life! Miserable are those with no goals, aims, aspirations- they are doomed. A poor man with a passionate vision will be happy- and probably will succeed as well.

Now when I say Goals, I do mean Dreams, Ambitions, Wishes, however because we have begun to understand how language directly affects our motivation then we dont want to use these words. Dreams and Wishes are perceived as non- attainable, fantasy like. When people use 'Dreams' they dont actually believe they can achieve them. " My Dream is to live in a beautiful Villa by the sea and drive a Sports car" Yeah- but really its just a dream.
Now say it like this - " My goal is to develop a business, earn 10 000 extra per year, in 2 years I will buy my Sports Car and in 5 I will buy my Villa!
Sounds possible now! It is!

Set small goals, and reward yourself when you achieve them. Set large goals, put a plan together, and enjoy the journey. Smile and share the Happiness of the chase, the rush of achievement! Why settle for mediocrity, when you can live a fullfilling, happy, extraordinary life!
What are you waiting for? Go set some goals!

"If you don't know where you are going, you'll probably end up somewhere else."
