Achieving Your Dreams
Part One

by Kevin Hogan

Goals in Context

Their goal has no context!

Many people pick a goal and blindly aim for it, they need to also decide WHY they want to pursue that goal.

When you have a context, you have "reasons" and reasons (leverage) are what will motivate and keep you focused.

Imagine John says, “I am going to earn a million dollars this year.”

Sarah says, “I am going to earn a million dollars this year because I want to use some of that money for my children, help out my family, free up my time and take off the pressures of everyday life so that I can spend more time doing the things that I want to do”

And of course it's obvious now...the million dollars doesn't mean anything. It's just paper or gold.

But when it's manifested as REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE, everything changes.

If we assume they both came up against the same obstacles, what would differentiate John and Sarah?

Sarah could ask herself,“Am I going to let this (obstacle) get in the way of my dream? Is this obstacle going to rob me of my freedom and rob my children of their security?”

KEYPOINT: It's simple: A clear and definite purpose for achieving your goal is essential to your success.

If you set a goal, make sure it has a context. Why do you want a million bucks?!

Ever hear this?

"What I wouldn't do with a million dollars...."

And I promise you...that person will not ever see that million until they make major modifications in how they think.......

When you're looking at your life, thinking about what you want to do when you grow up the second or third time...so to speak...Choose something that is important to you...

Don't think about JOBS...think about your LIFE. Think about your dreams...desires.

This isn't a dress rehearsal.

Learn... then do and accomplish.

I know you've probably done this a hundred times...but play with me for a minute.

Write down some things you desire, things you want in your life...or people you want in your life..

we all have these desires, but everyday life has become a habit of making them seem less important...and of course...

Eventually we get into the habit of submitting to life's every whim instead of living by decision...and choice.

By allowing life to control us, we lose control.

It's OK to go with the flow sometimes...but generally speaking you want to DIRECT THE FLOW.

Focus on what is really important to you.

What is your dream?

Go ahead and write down as many things as you can, they can be big or small. Whatever.

They could be: Financial freedom, skiing on the slopes of a ritzy resort, sailing your own yacht in the Caribbean, spending more time with the people who are important to you. Spending LESS time with people who drive you nuts.

Don’t discriminate between the ideas just yet.

Just write down anything you’ve ever wanted (and still do!) to do.

What's next?
