Do you set goals based on real needs and desires

"There is no shame in having fallen. Nor any shame in being born into a lowly estate. There is only shame in notstruggling to rise. And also shame for not wishing toattain the better. Or not dreaming about it and prayingfor it."- Samuel Amalu.

What is your Goal, is it something like:
want to be rich; want a screen star body; win a gold medal.
If you are wondering what is wrong in setting such big GOALS then read the following:
The trouble with big goals is not that you're dreaming outof your league.
In fact very few set goals in such a way that they ever get accomplished. Like everything else there is right and wrong ways to do this also.
Are you in pain. Emotional, physical, whatever. Choose an area that gives you a big one of these "pains." I mean, why go after something you really don't want badly,right? Getting rid of a gnawing pain that you've had for awhile is a great way.
What does it cost you to have the problem or lack? Write down the physical costs,emotional, mental, social, spiritual, financial. Spread itout for 1, 2, 5 and 20 years. Feel it. Take your time. It's been a long time that you haven't had this "goal" so a little time spent doing this is an investment. I am sure this will give you determination you didn't think you had.

You have it... You just have to find this pain and then keep it handy. When you have that, you'll have a base for the setting of a goal - a goal that inspires you to keep going... to reachdown deep. Do this exercise and you'll begin to see the power of starting out intelligently instead of letting others control your goals for you.

To your Success
