Got Goals?

"When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream." — Paulo Coelho: Brazilian lyricist and novelist

What is goal?

Goal is something you envision and desire, you plan and commit to get. We challenge you to set a smaller goal for tomorrow, and then come back here to share your result. My daily goal yesterday, was to get 80% of whatever I wanted done yesterday done. I took a piece of paper. I wrote down 1.) brush teeth 2.) take a shower 3.) make breakfast for two 4.) cleanup house 5.) attend job interview 6.) see my advisor 7.) go on my 3:30p appointment 8.)reply to job emails 9.)go on doctor appointment 10.) go exercising. From list 1-10, I assign zero point for task not done; I assign 1/2 point to incomplete task and one point for task completely done, and I put it over the total number 10 or the total list of items. And I divide by the total listed items 10 and multiply the result by 100%.

In my case, I completely did list 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9,and 10. I did not do list 4 and 8. I assigned one point to each list that I did for a total of 8 points, and I put it over the total listed items of 10 and multiply by 100% to get 80% goal completion rate. In other words, I met 80% of the goals I wrote down yesterday.

If you have goals, the world is for you. If you do not have goals, the world is against you, literally.

There are only two types of human beings on this earth.

Those with goals and those without.

By now, if you do not have goals, you are like a driver driving without any clue where you are headed. And if you were headed somewhere before, and now you do not have goals, you are taking risk that you can potentially avoid by having goals. Living life without goals is harder, stressful and disorganized. Goals is like saying subconsciously to yourself , I know what I want and this is how I will get there. And been that this life is too short, goals help organize YOU to get the best out of this time. Without goals you'd be bumping into everything else like amoeba, but YOU do not have that time on this earth to do that.

In my eBook Ideal Recipe for Striking It Rich I spoke a little on goals, and the mindset to have. The examples I laid out gives clearer example of goals in terms of the acronym G.P.C. (Goal Plan Courage). For goals to happen, YOU need to know where YOU are, what YOU want and how to get from where YOU are to what YOU want. You've probably heard people say goals should be specific. That's not necessarily true. Because whatever goals you set will take you somewhere. The only problem with goals been too general is that you will start bumping into things that YOU could avoid by been specific with your goals. For example, let's just say, YOU want to become successful.
The thoughts of wanting to become successful is a good thought. But becoming successful is way too general. So, the goal of becoming successful takes on so many meanings, but that doesn't mean you cannot become successful. It just means that you will spend more time figuring out what successful exactly you want to become. A sport icon successful, a movie star successful, a good family person successful, a business person successful. As you can see, successful takes on so much. So, if you were to say, I want to become a successful movie star in five years, it means you know exactly what type of successful YOU want. You also know to track your progress on the journey in five years.
Think of goals as a trip, a life trip to get what you really, really want. Those with goals we called them rich, and those without goals we called them poor.Those without goals live on excuses, and play the blaming game whenever failure catches up to them. Goals turn a 24 hour day into meaningfulness. Plan your days, everyday with goals.
