I was reading "Maximum
Achievement" by Brian Tracy last night and got some new
distinctions with regard to Goal
Setting. It wasn't anything
that I hadn't heard before, but just by reading it again and being open to
learning something new, I understood it at a deeper level.
It is
with regard to the power of persistence, particularly for goals that are much
bigger than your current experience.
These goals do not come easy or quickly - as Brian Tracy says "you will have to grow and
develop to the point that you are ready to achieve it." Consequently, you experience challenges to
reach that point.
Think of all the great things that you have achieved
in the past - did they follow times of difficulty and even initial
'failures'? When you experience the same
challenge over and over again, there is still something for YOU to GET. Here is another chance to learn and
grow.
Many of the greatest successes in
time occurred 'one step beyond' a great failure. Often it seems like everything
is suggesting to quit, when in fact it is the challenge to you - HOW MUCH DO
YOU WANT THIS GOAL? How much do you belief in yourself. Along the way you even get to learn something
about faith and trust at a deeper level than you ever thought possible.
Get the learnings, belief in
yourself and your dream, and GO
FOR IT!
