29. Develop the Desire of a Winner
Goals are important in your life. They help you develop a definite focus.
You concentrate your efforts on reaching your aims or goals. If you have a definite focus, you are less likely to be deterred in difficult situations. You know what you want to achieve and can just keep working towards your goal.
You push numerous distractions out of your way because of your concentration on your goal.
While setting goals, instill within your mind a spirit of commitment towards achieving them. This spirit develops from your desire to achieve your goal.
That desire should have a definite terminology and no uncertain or ambiguous terms. Spell out your desire in definite words. Visualize the wonderful effect that achieving your goals will have on your life. This kindles a strong desire within you to reach your goal. Add further strength to your desire by writing down your goals.
After writing down your goals, test your commitment to them and your desire to achieve these goals. Goals need to be in line with your basic values of life.
Set smaller and realistic goals to reach besides your lifetime goals. Analyze your plus and minus qualities. Find ways of overcoming your shortcomings. At the same time, try to convert your negative points into positive ones and give due importance to the time required. Unless you adhere to time constraints, the usefulness of your goals is nil.
The desire to achieve your goals and excel in your life stems from your innermost feelings. You are the ultimate owner of these desires and goals. This Copyright 2005 Marc Sanders
