Ready, aim, misfire

Why do some people almost always succeed. And why do so many people struggle in life, just trying to make ends meet, and some seem to have everything? In fact very few have everything. Most people are average or below average and struggle through life without much success in achieving most of their dreams.

What is the magic secret? What is the secret word? Is there a potion or something you can buy to get there?

The secret is very simple. It's all right there inside you. And it's been there all this time. Your thoughts. 90% of your success starts right there in your head, in your thoughts. And it's just waiting for the opportunity to bloom and enrich your life. But you can think all day long and never get anywhere unless you have a plan to go with it. A good plan is the other 10% that makes it all happen. Thoughts have to have a purpose, a goal, and action to achieve the purpose, to complete the plan. That's where most people go astray. They either have a bad plan or don't have any plan at all, and most just simply don't follow through with any sort of guided action. When you got up this morning did you have a list of things to do, to try to accomplish today, or did you just get up and start the day with no definite plans? Most people don't, you know; get up and make a list of things to get done for the day. Most successful people do.

It takes thinking, believing, followed by action, with a good plan to get there. And the better the plan, the faster and better the results will be. It's all about thinking, believing, and then doing things to make it happen. That's it. The big secret to success. Success in anything you desire to achieve.

Good plans are about goals. Setting goals to achieve your every wish and desire in life. It's something that everyone has done one time or another, but also something that most people have failed in time and time again. Setting goals is an easy thing to say, but not very easy for most people to achieve, to successfully complete those goals, to follow through with them from beginning to end.

Why is that? Because most people go about it in a half-hearted haphazard way. They don't have a clear and easy-to-follow plan to get there. They just sort of ramble about until they often either get tired or frustrated and give up. Then they usually go to another plan and start all over heading in a new direction. And another, and another, and never really get anywhere close to where they originally wanted to be. After a while they lose faith, they no longer believe they can get there. They feel inferior, diappointed in themselves, or lose faith that they are able to achieve their dreams.

So what's the big deal? Well, lets use an analogy. If you get in your car and decide to go to some place, let's say a city where you've never been, and you just get in your car and drive off into the blue yonder until you get there. But you don't have a map or detailed instructions on how to get there, which direction to head to, where to turn at intersections, how long do you think it will take to find that place, that location where you want to go? Probably longer than the rest of your life, depending on how far away it is, and if you even started heading in the right direction to begin with.

It's the same with your future, your prosperity, or success in anything you hope to achieve. You have to have a map, or detailed instructions. A guide, and a means to check your progress along the way. Like those signs on the road that say: Xtown 150 miles, x town take the next exit, x town 48 miles, etc. That's what goal setting is all about. A clear map and directions to show you not only where you want to go, but how to go about getting there in the shortest possible way.

If you don't have that clear guide, then you are likely just driving along the highway passing places you've never been to before and you don't have a clue whether you are getting closer or further away from your desired destination. And at the end ofthe day, or week, or month, or even years down the road you are still wondering, when am I going to get there? When will I arrive at that special place I started out to get to at the beginning of my trip down the highway of life.

Think it, believe it, and act upon it. That's the beginning of the journey. Goals are the map. The guide. The directions with detailed instructions. Set goals. Learn how to set goals and follow your dreams and believe that anything is possible for anyone with a good plan. Goals are an essential part of achieving success in anything. We all have had goals at one time or another, but how many did we fufill? Maybe we need to learn how to set goals. Goals that are tuned for maximum performance to get results.
