The successful person sets goals
THE SUCCESSFUL PERSON SETS GOALS
Always start with the end in mind
‘To achieve happiness, we should make certain that we are never without an important goal’ Earl Nightingale
The world makes way for the person who knows where S/He is going’ Ralph Waldo Emmerson.
By now you are probably beginning to see a pattern developing in the strategies for success. The whole concept of success begins with you, how you think. It begins with a positive mental attitude, with a determination to overcome failure, and to remember there are no mistakes, only lessons. With this outlook in life you will see and realize that you are surrounded with nearly unlimited opportunities possibilities. And a vision for your life.
Right thinking creates a solid foundation for success, but it is only the beginning. Once you have formed the foundation, you are ready to begin building on it, to achieve your goals.
Remember, you need to live a balanced wellness lifestyle, to have goals for mind, body and spirit. How many people do you know who lost their health in the pursuit of wealth, only to end up using their wealth in trying to buy back their health? Or the business owner who spent all day at building his business, never at home with his wife and children, and then she files for divorce?
When your goals have a ‘Why’ a reason, then the ‘How’ will be easier. Without defined goals success is unattainable, because success is actually the attainment of those goals.
Earl Nightingale said it best ‘’Success is the progressive realization of a worthwhile predetermined goal’
‘You have to BE before you can do, you have to DO before you can HAVE’ Action is what makes the difference.
All that I have or lack in my life today is as a result of what I did or failed to do in my past Therefore, once again, all that I will have or lack in my future will depend on what I do or fail to do between now and then ML
Think and grow Wealthy Healthy and Wise.
