We all have goals in one form or another.

Some people have grand goals that are life changing and dramatic and other people have goals of simply getting through another day.

Your goals, good or bad, big or small, are the creative force of your entire life.

We all have the choice to make out of our life what we choose, and it is the goals that we create for ourselves, or let others create for us, that steers the course.

The motivation goal setting theory is that everything that we do has a motivation, and that motivation stems from our goals, no matter what they are.

Deciding on what you want to achieve in life is of upmost importance because it literally creates the future.

To illustrate the importance of goals and direction in your life, as well as give some very valuable advice on the subject, I want to share some words from the book The Psychology of Winning by Denis Waitely.

winners in life have clearly defined, constantly referred to, game plans and purposes. They know where they’re going every day, every month, every year.

Their objectives range all the way from daily priorities to lifetime goals. And when they are not actively pursuing their goals, their thinking about them-hard!

They know the difference between goal achieving acts and those which are merely tension relieving… And they concentrate on the former.

Winners say, “I have a plan to make it happen. I will do what’s necessary to get what I want.”

Losers say, “I’ll try to hang in there-muddle through the day somehow.”

Purpose is the engine that powers our lives. Everyone has purpose. For some it is to eat, for others it is to get through the day, and for others it is revenge or getting even.

For winners-personal growth, contribution, creative expression, and sharing, loving relationships seem to be common goals that make them such uncommon people.

Clearly defined, written goals are the tools which make purpose achievable. Since the mind is a specific Bio-computer and need specific instructions and directions.

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, learn about them or even seriously consider them as believable or achievable. In other words, they never set them.

They fail by default. Winners can tell you where they are going, approximately how long it will take, why they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

Get a game plan for life!
