Successful people set and pursue meaningful goals. They establish goals and work towards their achievement. By knowing where you are going and how you plan to get there, you will focus your time, energy and emotions and start on the right track towards reaching your goal.
today we will learn why goals are essential for success; how to assess your strengths so you can select the best possible goals; how to set goals that will inspire you into high achievement; how to ensure that you will not deviate from your goals; how to overcome obstacles in reaching your goals.
Working without a goal is as foolish as one going to the sea without a compass. a ship with a broken rudder may keep a full head of steam, but never reach any port, unless by accident; and if does find a haven, its cargo may not be suited to the people, the climate or the condition. The ship must be directed towards a definite port where its cargo is demanded for. if you are to succeed you must not drift about rudderless on the ocean of life. you must not only steer straight towards your destination when the ocean is smooth, when the currents and wind and tempest, and even when enveloped in the fogs of disappointment and mists of opposition.
Do you have a dream? a vision of the future? most people dream of a future but in most cases, that all they can offer and will ever be-a dream. Successful people turn their dream into Goals, and their goals into reality. Their dreams are not vague hopes for success, but dreams of specific achievements. Thomas Edison dreamed of a world in which electric energy will lighten the skies of the night. George Stephenson dreamed of an engine that will pull trains and will eliminate the back breaking labor of men and beast. Great men and women not only dream but the always strive to make their dreams a reality. Great actors, artist, musicians, and writers dream not just of fame, but the way they would utilize their talents to achieve success. Dreams are not limited to only geniuses, all successful people report that success starts with hope, a dream. Many successful men and women report that it all started with a dream, which lead to a goal, which led to a plan of action, and inevitably to accomplishing the goal. Dreams are not also limited to the young, its never too late to have a new dream that lets to a goal that leads to success. it so astonishing what people who have had their dreams late in life have accomplished take for instance Sir Richard Arkwright who was 50 years old when he began to learn English grammar and improve his writing and spelling. Dreams always becomes goal and goals become achievements to those who strive long enough and hard enough. our dreaming faculties and imaginations are giving for a divine purpose so that we can get a glimpse of intangible realities. it gives us a peep into what glorious realities awaits those who never stoop to conquer no matter what.
