"If
you are not making the progress you would like to make and are capable of
making, it is because your goals are not clearly defined." Paul J.
Meyer
When one is afraid to make written, specific goals, one is more or
less saying they’re afraid of success – simple stuff – where one is even if
miserable is better than where one might be found. Sort’ve like those who go
inactive in their various churches – which over 55% are and sometimes even
higher – simple question which Commandments don’t you want to keep? For every
success story there are millions of failures – misery likes company. When one
takes a journey without a map (goals) they’re bound to end up somewhere – hope it’s
where they thought they were going. But mostly it’s just a waste of this life
in mortality – and there are plenty of pied pipers to lead them along.
1.
If you are making unsatisfactory progress in a goal program it is for one of
three reasons.
A. No goals
B. Too few goals
C. Goals made but abandoned before success.
2.
No Goals: You have problems managing your time or you have belief
problems in that goals really work.
A. Time problems are a result of poor scheduling and procrastination.
B. Belief Problems
1) You don't understand the material and discipline required.
2) You don't believe goal setting works
3) You don't believe in your ability to change.
3.
Too few goals: You have a reluctance to write in a personal plan of
action and you have an inability to choose goals (organize priorities).
A. Reluctance to organize:
1) You have a fear of making a commitment.
2) You have a fear of failure.
B. Inability to choose goals:
1) You spend too little time in thinking and planning.
2) You are conditioned by past to resist growth or change.
4.
You've made goals but abandoned them before success.
A. You have made inappropriate deadlines for the accomplishment of what
you set out to do.
B. You have a definite need for more personal growth.
C. Your goals are not clearly defined.
Now if I
leave all of you hanging here until after New Year’s what will happen to your New Years Resolutions?
Goals require self discipline, which is tied into Attitude and what you think
about. In our nation about 13% have clearly defined written goals
(tangible and intangible) in the six areas of their lives. Only 3% of
those keep score. 51% of our nation have no written goals at all and live
day to day. The rest fall into a group who have some goals, some written, some
not, and allow others to generally plan their life for them; when to take a
vacation, etc. I'll keep going on this in the next part and discuss the
14 steps involved in goal setting. love ya - Old Rusty Knight.

Upon
awakening what to do
dreams and
wishes don’t work
confusion
and contention awful
clarity of
purpose necessary
understanding
the problems
understanding
obstacles all
solutions to
the obstacles
learning
self-discipline first
problems,
problems won’t go
however one
can erase them
one at a
time being identified
within the
deep inner resources
known as having
a plan!
