WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE SET GOALS?


  • You might be thinking right now, "Well, this all sounds so inspiraional, but surely just setting a goal doesn't make it happen." I couldn't agree with you more. All goal setting must be immediately followed by both the development of a plan, and massive and consistent action toward its fulfillment. You  already have this power to act. If you haven't been able to summon it, it's merely because you have failed to set goals that inspire you. 
  • What's holding you back? Surely you've been exposed to the power of goal setting before. But do you have a list of clearly defined goals for the results you will absolutely produce in your life mentally, emotionally,physically, spiritually, and financially? What has stopped you? For many it's the unconscious fear of disappointment. Some people have set goals in the past and failed to achieve them and, as a result of their disappointment and their fear of future pain, they stop setting goals. They don't want to have any expectations that could be dashed. 

  • Other people set goals, but abuse themselves by tying their entire level of personal happiness to their ability to achieve goals that may be outside their control. Or they lack the flexibility to notice that  as they move in the direction of their goals, there are better, more worthy goals all around them.
The drive to achieve and contribute comes in many forms. For some people it's spawned by disappointment or even tragedy. For others it's fueled simply by the stark realization one day that life is passing them by, that the quality of their life is lessening with each passing moment. For some, inspiration is the source of their motivation. Seeing what's possible, anticipating the best possible scenario, or ralising that they're in fact making significant progress can help them to develop tremendous momentum to accomplish even more.

Often we don't realize how far we've come because we're so caught up in the process of achieving. A good metaphor for this is when a friend tells you how much your son or daughter has grown, and you say with honest surprise, "Really?" It's happening right under your nose, so you've failed to notice it. It's even tougher to see your own growth.......

Increase your wealth

The most important thing you'll ever do in your financial life is to decide to truly understand  the various types of investments  and what their potential risks and returns are.  Responsible advisors will make certain that all of their clients thoroughly understand the kinds of investments that are available and that they take part in the development of their own financial plans.  Without a clear-cut investment plan, you will eventually fail financially. According to financial newsletter editor Dick Fabian, "Evidence shows that investors- investors in anything make no money over a ten-year period.   There are several reasons for this tragic statistic, including: 1) Not setting a goal, 2) Chasing after trendy investments; 3) Relying on reports from the financial press; 4) Blindly taking advice from brokers or financial planners; 5) Making emotional mistakes, and so on....

Take control of your financial l future...

Today we will learn about Finance  and the keys to building lasting wealth.  Wealth  today, has become a very critical aspect of our lives.Most of the tensions in life, relationship problems and self-esteem problems is because of  lack of wealth.  People don't see  who or what you are, they see  WHAT YOU HAVE.  We are often judged by our economic status.    We fail to remember that  "Money was made for Man, and not Man for Money".   True, wealth is important, but so also are human values. You may have all the wealth in the world but you may be too old to enjoy it, or you may have a  major illness which does not allow you to enjoy your wealth.
