Home | Self Improvement | Goal Setting
Most people do not set their goals too high and fail. What is more common is for people to set their goals too low and succeed. You have probably thought of this before, but this may be the first time you actually understood what it means.Despite the accepted belief, we are all capable of deciding what level of life we want to play at. The amazing thing that surprises me is how many people have chosen to play a small game instead of a bigger game of life.The confusing part of it is how most people will think the process to living a more prosperous and successful life, is to identify what they want to "be" in the end. Next, they think they will create the steps on what to "do" to become this person. Finally, they concentrate on what they want to have. Let me tell you, this is completely backwards.The real process to greater success in anything is to identify what you want to "have," followed by what you must "do" to create it, and finally, what will you "be" after you possess your desired "have."If you were to have a consultation with a champion who had won at anything, they will express to you their initial step in their process of succeeding was to focus on the results they wanted. Always think in terms of "results." Complete this sentence, "My main purpose is to have" Whatever you wrote down is the "results." Results are the end creation of what you want to possess or achieve. Results are very different than goals.Goals are used to achieve the results but if you don't have a clear picture of the results you desire, you won't be able to create sound goals. Another way to think of goals is to think of them as what you will "do" to create your results. You need to realize your goals and actions of today are creating your tomorrow-good or bad.If you are doing productive affirmative things toward achieving your results, you will ultimately be accomplished. If you are doing tasks that are not in line with your results, you will not reach your desired results. This will be the last demonstration of yourself for having followed through with your goals to achieve the results you desired.What will you permit your life to be?Are you going to throw it in the wind and leave it to chance, or will you purposefully take the right action? Will you have the right attitude and make the decision what you want to have, do, and be?Always remember, problems will arise in all levels of life. It does not matter whether you are playing a small game or a big game of life, you will have problems. Take the "high road" and live you life bigger. Live up to your true capability and experience a completely different existence.When we think we've reached our maximum at anything, good or bad, the next moment shows us we still have plenty of room to grow and handle more. This is the process of upgrading your life to the next level that I teach others.In Loving Service, Dr. Michael J. Duckett
