Hi Friends
“So what is the first step towards achieving your goals and what you want in life?”, you may ask.
Many people talk about making changes in their lives and yet often nothing seems to change. Why is this?
Often you may hear people talking about the fact that they are not satisfied with their lives and the way that things are currently going. Why then does nothing change – even when they want things to be better and different?
Today’s quote, I believe contains part of the answer. In order to make changes in your lives, you first need to actually find out what it is that you want. You need to really take the time to sit down and decide what it is that you want to change.

Hi Friends
Here we are now half way through another year! Wow where has the time gone? Let’s agree together to make the second half of 2009 a fantastic time in our lives.
Let’s agree to continue to take steps towards our goals and those things that are important to us.
Let’s look at our quote for today.

QUOTE OF
THE DAY:
“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.”
- Henry Ford
Have you ever experienced this? When you take your eyes off your goals and then see all of the circumstances around you that can sometimes be quite frightening? Well, I know that I have. This is something that I need to set my mind to each day to determine that I will continue to focus on my goals and move towards them!
There is an interesting story in the Bible; you may have heard it, where Peter was in a boat on the Sea of Galilee with the other disciples. The wind was strong and the waves were big and choppy. Next thing they saw Jesus walking on the water. The next bit is interesting. Peter said, “Lord, if it is You then command me to walk on the water.”
Peter then got out of the boat and began to walk on the water. He was the only one of the disciples who is recorded as having ever walked on the water.
As long as Peter kept his eyes on the goal of walking to Jesus, he was fine. But in the moment that he took his eyes of the goal and saw the wind and huge waves around him, then he began to sink!
Have you ever felt like that? Have you ever been heading towards your goal and then something got your attention and caused you to take your eyes off your goal?
Learn a lesson here from Peter. Keep your eyes today on what is important to you – on your goals! Take one step at a time towards them and you will become closer each day to seeing your goals become a reality.

Hi Friends
Hope you are having a wonderful day!
Look at the quote below. Think about what it says.
QUOTE OF
THE DAY:
“The greatest danger for most of us lies not in setting our aims too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark.”
- Michelangelo
Where have you set your goals? Are you happy with what you are aiming at?
I am sure that you have heard the saying that “if you aim at nothing then you will hit it every single time!”
This is not what you want. If you are reading this, then I know that you want more out of life. You want to achieve your goals and see your dreams fulfilled in your life.
So I challenge you today, to stop for a few minutes, grab a pen and paper and actually write down what your goals are. Be specific. Set dates and specific details of the goals that you want to achieve.
Then come back each day and read your goals and think about them. You will be surprised how your life will begin to move towards seeing these goals and dreams come into reality.

If you look at the life of anyone who is successful then you will see that their success did not just appear. The success did not just ‘fall out of the sky’ and give them all of their dreams. Success does not come just from wanting it to come.
There is no genie sitting out there waiting for us to find and rub the magic lamp and have our wishes answered. But, at the same time, we can achieve our dreams and goals.
The future that you desire to have is possible. You truly can achieve all that you dream of and desire for yourself, your family and those you care about.
So how is this possible? How do we achieve our dreams and goals?
That is a good question. This is the starting point!

QUOTE OF
THE DAY:
“The future never just happened. It was created.”
To achieve the future that you desire and dream of you need to have a clear picture of what that looks like. So step one is to decide what it is that you want and to write this down as a clear and concise goal.

Hi Friends
I have learned that it is important to set short term goals, but it is also extremely important to set long-term goals. Often life can throw you a curve ball and sometimes these can be enough to stop you in your tracks and to give up on your dreams.
If your goals are strong enough and line up with your values then no matter what life throws your way then you will be able to get up and keep going. One of the most important decisions that you can choose to make in life is to keep going.
It is only when you sit down and give up that you stop yourself from reaching your dreams and achieving your goals.
QUOTE OF
THE DAY:
“You must have long-range goals to keep you from being frustrated by short-range failure.”
- Charles Noble
If you can set long-term goals that are extremely important to you and which you continue to take small steps towards achieving then when life gets hard you are able to have a deep reason to continue and to keep moving forward.
Sometimes you may stumble in life and that is okay. When you stumble, and even fall, you just need a reason to get back up and to continue, or to even start again, if necessary.
So today, choose to set some long-term goals, goals that are important to you, goals that line up with your values.

Hi Friends
We all have struggles and challenges that we face almost on a daily basis, but I am learning more and more that it is important to realize that these challenges do not need to stop us from achieving our dreams and goals.
We can choose to learn from these obstacles and challenges and to allow them to make us stronger.
So today, I encourage you to move forward, no matter what trials you face and reach out for your goals and dreams!
I like the quote below “There is no failure except in no longer trying.” On the days when I find life getting hard and feel like giving up, I can be inspired to take another step towards those things that are important to me!
You too can do the same!
