What Are Your Goals for Today?

We can often create changes in our lives by consciously pursuing our goals and dreams. Here's what some smart people have to say about the subject:


Anatole France:

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.


Carl Sandburg:

Nothing happens unless first we dream.


Epictetus:

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.

I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.

Achieve Your Dreams

The mistake we often make is that we live our whole lives putting our dreams on the back burner. There are several reasons this happens including fear, paying the bills, lack of planning and not believing that our dreams will come true.

People often think that thinking of their dreams is too unrealistic. The truth is that our lives tend to follow the patterns that we establish. If we think something cannot be achieved that will tend to happen.

As yourself this: What can I do today to start living my dreams? If you start believing and acting on the assumption that you can actually achieve your dreams you will begin to structure you life to make it happen.

The main message is don't give up, there is always time to start working on your dreams. Don't you deserve to live your dreams?

Have a great day,

A Plan to Fix Your Relationship

Clients frequently ask me how to fix specific relationship problems. There is no magic cure for problems in relationships, it just takes deliberate action and a strong commitment to working things out. Think about the following ideas if you have a problem in your relationship.

• In what ways do I know how to communicate effectively without fighting?
• In what ways do I problem solve effectively?
• Where did I learn my problem solving skills?
• Where do I go for accurate information on how to fix relationship problems?
• How do I resolve ongoing problems?
• What specific techniques do I use to resolve problems?

The answers to these questions will help you determine your skill level in resolving relationship conflicts. Then you can begin the learning process to become an excellent problem solver and communicator.

When people become proficient in communicating and problem solving they can handle anything that comes their way and do so with confidence and skill. The good news is that you can build up your skills and that problems really can be resolved. What do you have to lose? Start doing some research today to help you become an expert at actually fixing things in your relationship.

Take care,

The Five Steps to Success

Many of my clients ask me if there is a secret to success. There really isn't a secret it just requires purposeful action. Purposeful action means that we are fully conscious and have thought about every action that we take. We don't leave things to chance except when appropriate and we consciously do things to improve things about ourselves.

Think of success in terms of practical things you can do to move in whatever direction you want. The following steps will help you achieve what you want in life but there is one caveat: you have to take action.

1. Define what success means to you.
2. Break your definition into parts and give each one a clear name. These become your goals.
3. Select one goal you want to work on.
4. Brainstorm different tasks that will help you achieve your goal.
5. Pick one task and follow it through to completion.

Use these five steps to keep moving. Success is based on continuous movement and action. With each action you complete you become stronger and more successful. Don't worry too much about what goal you choose or what action to take, it is the act of doing things that creates the change in your life.

Take care,

Attitude for Success

Your attitude or perspective on life has a lot to do with what you will achieve. What seems to true in life is that, if you think a certain way, you will tend to move in that direction. Here's what some smart people say about the topic.

Colleen C. Barret:

Work is either fun or drudgery. It depends on your attitude. I like fun.

Abraham Lincoln:

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing.

Carlos Castaneda:

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.

Frank Lloyd Wright:

The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.

It may sound simplistic, but so much related to success is how you view yourself. Try envisioning yourself as you would like to be ideally and do purposeful things each day to fulfill your promise.

Have a great attitude day,
