“There is no achievement without goals.”
“Become all that you are capable of becoming!”
“Decide that you really want to achieve the goal...”
“Success or failure is often determined on the drawing board.”
“Strategic planning will help you fully uncover your available options, set priorities for them, and define the methods to achieve them.”
“Talk back to your internal critic. Train yourself to recognize and write down critical thoughts as they go through your mind. Learn why these thoughts are untrue and practice talking and writing back to them.”
“Set priorities for your goals. A major part of successful living lies in the ability to put first things first. Indeed, the reason most major goals are not achieved is that we spend our time doing second things first.”
“The common conception is that motivation leads to action, but the reverse is true -- action precedes motivation. You have to ''prime the pump'' and get the juice flowing, which motivates you to work on your goals. Getting momentum going is the most difficult part of the job, and often taking the first step is enough to prompt you to make the best of your day.”
