Goals
by Gary Ryan Blair
Success is the intentional, pre-meditated use of
choice and decision. Unless you choose - with certainty - what it
is you want, you accept table scraps by default!
The world is plump with opportunity. With boldness and conviction, stick a fork
into the goals you want by being decisive.
You are born with great capabilities, but you will
not achieve your potential until you call upon yourself to fulfill it. You will
rise to the occasion when it presents itself; yet, to assure self-fulfillment,
you must provide occasions to rise to. Clearly defined goals allow you
to travel toward another horizon that represents the end of one experience and
the transition to a new and better existence. The objective is to choose the
right goals, and then to create the necessary causes - the effects will
follow!
The
difference between what one person and another achieves depends more on goal
choices than on abilities. The profound differences between successful
people and others are the goals they choose to pursue. Individuals
with smaller talents, intelligence, and abilities will achieve different
results because they select and pursue different goals.
Each decision affects what you become. We
form our decisions and our decisions form us. There is no escaping this; the
smallest choices are important because - over time - their cumulative effect is
enormous.
Never overlook the obvious: The
nature and direction of your life change the instant you decide what goals you
want to pursue.
Once you make a decision, you start down a
path to a new destination. At the moment the decision is made, your
decision to pursue a goal alters what you are becoming. Just one spin of the
lock's dial - a single choice - can alter your life, your destiny, your
legacy.
Think about it - your goal decisions
represent and express your individuality. You seal your fate with the
choices you make. You define yourself by your decisions.
Your dialogue with success is ultimately a solo
one. Decisions and goals made must be your own if you are to call your
life a success.
Always establish the best goals you can. Goals
are the seeds of success - you become only what you plant. The quality of
your harvest is a direct reflection of the quality of your seeds-your
decisions!
Indecision is the big eraser of opportunity and
potential. Risks and costs
accompany every decision; however, the
price of decision is far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable
inaction. When it comes to decisiveness, squatters have no rights.
Everyone has an official wish list of things they
think are "reasonable". What about the unofficial wish list? The one that common sense tells you to
ignore? The list that exists
deep in your mind, the list that keeps you up at night, that makes your toes
wiggle when you think of it? Why
not choose that list for a change?
How
long have you dreamed of being, having, and doing what you really want? Think
big, as when it comes to your goals, the size of your ambition does matter.
