Exclamation Goals - 09-12-2006, 03:44 PM

Goals


The number one thing you must do in order to be successful is have a goal.

It doesn't matter how well organized you are.

It doesn't matter how determined you are.

It doesn't matter how hard you work.

If you don't have a predetermined course or direction, you're simply spinning your wheels.

Goals add order and structure to your life. Goals allow you to measure your progress, to see whether or not you're improving.

Psychologically, it's important to feel that you're not just standing still in your life, but moving forward, toward your destination and always getting closer ansd closer to your goal.

When you attain your goals, you will feel that you've have accomplished something significant. That's because you have. Success is success. It doesn't matter how big or little it is. It's still spelled the same way. Even the tiniest of successes can motivate you and give you pride in your achievements.

On the other hand, when you don’t achieve what you set out to accomplish, it can be very frustrating.

But that's okay. Being frustrated is all a part of life. It's learning how to deal with that frustration that separates the winners from the losers.

There's an old saying:

"Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

In other words, failure isn't going to kill you. If you've got the right stuff, it's only going to strengthen your resolve.

It's okay, if you don't reach your goals, the first, second, tenth or even the one hundredth time you try.

The important thing is that you try...and that you keep on trying!

And when things get too unbearable for you, which they invariably will, and you're ready to give up. Just remember this quote by Michael Jordan:

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

Don't EVER give up on your goals! EVER!

I think you know Dale... that's one of my favorite quotes!

It's amazing how a simple quote can say so much... it tells a great story.

If I remember correctly Mike was even cut from the high
school basketball team. I could be wrong, but that is the
recollection I'm having.

I couldn't agree with you more about this post Dale.

Goals are huge. If you don't know what you want, how the
heck are you supposed to get it?

Personally I like this quote the best...

"The Hammer That Shatters The Glass Also Forges The Steel!"

I like seeing myself as STEEL!

Dale, this is a really good post. Along with fear, I think you've hit the nail on the head with what handicaps most people.

That's exactly right, Jason! In 1978, at Laney High School, Jordan was cut from the varsity basketball team.
