If you do write down your goals, how often do you review them? That's the second step. The amount you review them and the way they are written will affect your response and your ability to recognize the opportunities as they present themselves.
In Brian Tracy's book, "Goals", he instructs us to write down goals in the present, in the first person in a positive frame of mind.
For example: If you have a goal to lose 20 lbs and you currently weigh 170 lbs. The right way to express the goal is:
"I weigh a healthy 150 lbs."
If you want to double your income and you currently make $40,000/year.
"I earn $80,000 per year."
The key to attainment of goals is to write them down everyday, without reviewing the previous day's goals. Only the true goals that are important to you will rise to the top. Brian Tracy suggests writing 10 annual goals as soon as you get up, using the positive, present, personal method. Then review them every night before you go to bed.
Organically, these goals get cemented into the superconscious and they magically get attracted to you.
From experience, I know that any habit will be formed after 30 days of continuous action. I can do this for 30 days. After that, doing it for the rest of the year will be a breeze. I suggest you try it as well. What's the worst that could happen? We waste 5 minutes a day for a year. That's only 30 hours over the entire year. Some of us waste that in a week watching TV.
Without looking back, I started writing my annual goals every morning three days ago. It's interesting that some goals just three days ago did not make my list today. Out of the 10 goals, 6 of them appear everyday. The statements are getting more concise and clearer every day.
I challenge you to write 10 goals every morning in the present, personal, positive frame of mind. Do it for a month without looking back.
Don't forget the other two rules of goal setting.
1. They have to be realistic.
2. They have to be measurable.
I would say "Good Luck", but in this case you don't need luck. You need action. Are you up for a challenge?
