The first and most important step in reaching your goals is:
1) Write down your goals on paper.
Please do not dismiss the simplicity of this step. Without writing out what you want, you are leaving the achievement of your goals to chance.
Before you move to the next step, you must take the time to write out your goals.
When writing out your goals, you must know exactly what you want. You must be clear and specific.
Remember, this is YOUR life we’re talking about here.
Make sure that your goals are truly what YOU want.
Do not feel guilty or selfish for wanting more out of life. Some people have hang-ups about success, wealth and doing what’s best for them.
But the best thing we can do for each other is to become the best that we can, the way in which we believe is best for our health, wealth and overall well-being.
When we’re at our best, we’re better equipped to help and serve others.
Selfishness is not doing what you want to do, it’s expecting others’ to do what you want them to do.
Q. What do I mean by clear and specific goals?
A. A good example is in choosing a car or truck. You wouldn’t just go to any dealership and see what they had on the lot.
You’d know exactly what you wanted prior to going.
You would describe specifically the make, the model, the color, and the features that you want.
Note: I want to make it clear that not everyone needs or may want a new car or truck. This is just an example of how to be clear about what you truly want, and it doesn’t have to be a material want.
These are YOUR goals and they have nothing to do with what anyone else wants.
What you are doing when you specify what you want is creating an image in your mind. You’re making what you want a reality by visualizing it.
You can do this with anything in your life. The tangible or intangible.
Some people use pictures from books or magazines to help them with their visualizations.
Personally, I haven’t done this but I’m sure that it can be a great way to help you visualize and make real the thing that you want, as long as you use it in conjunction with the steps that I’m describing here.
All of the great minds throughout history have been great visionaries. They took an idea and were able to visualize it prior to it being created.
We all have the power to do this.
We are all doing it NOW, whether we’re aware of it or not.
My job is to help you become aware of what’s possible.
So that’s it for STEP 1.
Know what you want and write it down. Be clear and be specific.
Tomorrow I’ll go over STEP 2.
Thank you,
Francis Bills
