If you don't have goals, then you're not alone. In fact, less than 3% of the population has a written set of goals, and less than 1% reviews their goals on a regular basis. Why is this, given the strong correlation between goal setting and success? Here are several reasons that people don't set goals: 1.They don't realize the importance of goals. Few people think of goal setting as a skill set that can help them achieve success in their lives. Because so few people set goals, many people don't typically come in contact with people who do. The people around them don't set goals, so they don't set goals either. 2.They have not yet accepted responsibility for their lives. It's easy to blame circumstances, or other people, for what happens to us. If people are making excuses and blaming others, than they are not holding themselves accountable. Without the acceptance of responsibility, goal setting would be in vain, anyway. 3.They don't know how. Goal setting is a very important skill, and yet you won't find even a single class in school or college on the subject. Consequently, people end up with an education that is missing one of the key ingredients of success. (As an aside, notice how we aren't taught personal finance, either?) Consequently, even people who desire a greater level of success in their lives do not have written goals. 4.Fear of failure. Fear of failure is the biggest single obstacle to success. Rather than viewing 'temporary setbacks' as a necessary part of succeeding, we attach a negative connotation to failure. Because most people view failure as painful, and undesirable, they avoid it at all costs, even if it means giving up on their dreams. Over time, they rationalize their inaction by settling into their comfort zones. 5.Fear of success. This fear is rooted in the belief that success (primarily material success) is bad, or undesirable because of the high cost attached to it. People who are afraid of success imagine all kinds of ways in which life would change, and are averse to the risk of such changes occurring. Interesting enough, the mere perception of those kinds of changes keeps many people from pursuing their dreams.
What's stopping you from setting goals, and from pursuing the life of your dreams?

Messengers of Love 'Greater love hath no man than this,that a man lay down his life for his friends.' John 15:13 Sometimes, it seems God asks the nearly impossible; His standards being so high that the average week kneed, belly aching, fearful person could never obtain (defeating ourselves even before we've begun). Perhaps, we don't listen carefully to what He said. Jesus didn't say we had to 'give up' our lives, like victims with a gun pointing to our head.

Heck, maybe at times you've wanted to bring someone down as well. But let's put a new light on this. You may have co-workers, friends even relatives whether they are fully, only half or marriage related that try to take you down. Do they spend time trying to put you down by spreading rumors, talking behind your back and BSing things? Instead of focusing and living their own life, they are getting wrapped up in yours.

I know because I hear from them constantly, either by way of email, phone, or in letters mailed to the academy. The vast majority are, more-often-than not, trapped in this 'thinking about it' stage and will never take that next, most important step to making it happen. And, it's sad really.

Phuket Thailand Smiles Once Again For Visitors When Fred Varnier, General Manager of the Amanpuri Resort and Spa in Phuket, Thailand did his rounds at about 9 a.m., the morning of December 26, 2004, he noticed a strange, large puddle beside the pool. The weather had been dry for days and guests had yet to swim in it that morning. While he was ruminating about it, he received a call from Richie, an Australian lifeguard down at Amanpuri's private beach. 'I've never seen the tide this low,' he said, 'You'd better come take a look.' Fred's curio… |
