			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you like your life the way it is? Would you like to change some, or all of it? Well, here&#8217;s good news: You can be whatever you want to be. You can re-invent yourself. I know because I did!</p>
<p>You may have a whole lifetime to undo or re-invent, but if you are determined, and ready to put in the effort, anything is possible. You can have a new you!</p>
<p>Here are 7 steps to a new, improved, re-invented you!</p>
<p>1) Make two detailed lists comprising: (a) all the things you like about yourself and want to keep, (b) all the things you don&#8217;t like about yourself and want to change. Examine both lists and ask yourself why you like what you like, and why you want to change what you want to change. Write out your answers as two separate statements. Keep these statements where you can see, and read them everyday.</p>
<p>2) Work on your &quot;Want-to-Keep&quot; list everyday. Keep on doing what you&#8217;ve been doing, and you&#8217;ll keep on getting what you&#8217;ve been getting! Also, work on your &quot;Want-to-Change&quot; list everyday, but in a different way. Take each item on this second list and re-state it as a goal. Remember your goals must be Specific (clear and unambiguous), Measurable (a specific weight, time, sum of money etc), Attainable (within your stated time frame and resources), Realistic (in your eyes) and Tangible (something you can perceive with your senses, not &quot;imagine&quot; with your mind!)</p>
<p>3) From your &quot;Want-to-Change&quot; list, identify your 3 most important goals, the ones that will make the most impact on your life, and bring about the new you. Write out a day-by-day, step-by-step plan for attaining each of these goals.</p>
<p>4) Identify possible pitfalls or obstacles to your plan. Set up contingency plans to circumvent these hurdles. Do not stop at them. No one can stop you from reaching those goals but you.</p>
<p>5) Take action on your plan. Work those goals! Even a small step on your plan each day will move you closer to the new you! If you fall behind, or fall out altogether, just think of the lovely new life you stand to gain if you would just try. Imagine what it would look and feel like to be the new you. Know in your heart that it is possible, but it is also up to you. You owe it to yourself to get back up and on with the program. Only time, patience and action separate you from your goal.</p>
<p>6) Reward yourself for progress. Forgive yourself for slip-ups. Then move on. No time for Pity Parties!</p>
<p>7) Stay motivated. Think on your reasons for wanting to make the change. Visualize the outcome of your goals, vividly. Hang out with people who encourage you to keep at it. Stay away from negative people, at least till you &quot;get there!&quot; Read motivational books, employ a coach to help you stay on track. Enlist a supportive friend, to rejoice with you at each success, and encourage you at each challenge.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it! Re-inventing yourself will never be easy. You are going against patterns that may have been established for years. It will take determination, effort and patience, but it is possible, and ultimately rewarding.</p>
<p>I went through a process of re-invention a few years ago. I went from an overweight, unhealthy, plain-dressed, unfulfilled, job-holder, to a slim, trim, healthy, trendy, self-employed, fulfilled entrepreneur. Instead of holding a job, I now do my life&#8217;s work. I am working my own goals, and getting the results I desire. I am still not all that I want to be. But I am closer to my goals than to my starting point. No one will ever be &quot;picture-perfect&quot; in this life. But &quot;fulfilled and satisfied&quot; is the name of the game for me! And I sure am glad I had the courage to try.</p>
<p>People and circumstances will oppose you, saying, &quot;It isn&#8217;t possible&quot;, or, &quot;Why can&#8217;t you just be satisfied with what you&#8217;ve got?&quot; (The answer to that is, &quot;Because I&#8217;m no ordinary person!&quot;) But if you think your dreams are worth the effort, and you are willing to do what it takes, you can have whatever you want.</p>
<p>Dreams still do come true. And you don&#8217;t require a fairy god-mother! Setting and working your goals is how it works in the real world. So be bold, take action and enjoy the new you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you know where your company is going? Do you have a vision of where you want to be?</p>
<p>Often in an attempt to get company staff to have a shared view of where they&#8217;re all going a vision and mission statement are prepared.</p>
<p>Unless you&#8217;re a large company it&#8217;s a waste of time.</p>
<p>Mainly because your company works to the beat of your drum.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re the one who sets your own company&#8217;s agenda. Whether you realise it or not.</p>
<p>Your whole attitude to risk, customer service, planning, budgeting, recruitment and cost control are being followed by your employees.</p>
<p>They want to stay on the right side of the boss don&#8217;t they? They&#8217;re not likely to rock the boat. But more than that they don&#8217;t see why they need to do what you say unless you do what you say too.</p>
<p>The staff may influence you to a certain extent. But when the buck stops it&#8217;s with you.</p>
<p>Maybe you have excellent staff and you can leave them to get on with lots of stuff in your absence. Maybe they produce brilliant results.</p>
<p><b>Great</b>.</p>
<p>But if you had some goals I guarantee you&#8217;ll all achieve more.</p>
<p>Lewis Carroll said &#8220;If you don&#8217;t know where you are going, any road will get you there.&#8221;</p>
<p>Without goals you can either take the short road or the long road and you&#8217;ll still get nowhere.</p>
<p>One thing you need to understand about your brain is that it will go all out to help you achieve your goals. Your Reticular Activating System (a little group of cells that are probably the most primitive in your brain) is the driving force for you to get your goals. It filters all communication to your brain and stops you going mad from information overload.</p>
<p>The good news is that the Reticular Activating System (RAS) can be programmed to achieve the goals you want. That&#8217;s done by using visualisation and &#8220;faking it till you make it&#8221;.</p>
<p>By that I mean fooling your RAS into thinking you&#8217;ve already achieved your goal. It works to make sure that you get the benefits accruing from that goal. Which means that you then achieve it! Simple, eh?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s so great I call the RAS the &#8220;Goal Scorer&#8221;.</p>
<p>So how do you set goals?</p>
<p>Firstly dismiss the thought that they&#8217;re just for January the 1st. Or you set them once and then forget them. Goals don&#8217;t work that way. A little later I&#8217;ll explain how you can use a method I call SARAH to help you check your goals.</p>
<p>Now what are the most important things about setting goals?</p>
<p>The most important thing is that &#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;it must be important to <b>you</b>.</p>
<p>If it&#8217;s not no amount of goal setting will make you achieve it. Do you have something worthy but boring that you&#8217;d rather not do?</p>
<p>You can put it off forever can&#8217;t you?</p>
<p>When you set goals you must promise yourself that you&#8217;ll achieve them. If it&#8217;s a boring goal tie its achievement to something interesting or rewarding.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t emphasis enough how important importance is to your achievement of your goals.</p>
<p>Next you need to clearly decide what it is that you want to acheive. An all embracing statement such as &#8220;All areas of my life will work well&#8221; isn&#8217;t much use as a goal. It&#8217;s much too general for your poor &#8220;goal scorer&#8221;.</p>
<p>Instead you need to make each goal specific and so that your goal scorer knows when it needs to be achieved you give it a time limit.</p>
<p>The other secret to using the goal scorer is to phrase your goal as though it&#8217;s already happened.</p>
<p>For example: &#8220;I&#8217;ve got 5 new clients who each paid me a $5,000 retainer by the 30th of September 2005&#8243;.</p>
<p>Finally make sure that you will know in some measurable way that a goal has been achieved. When that happens celebrate!</p>
<p>Now write the goals down. No I don&#8217;t mean into your computer. Although you can put them in later. Write them longhand.</p>
<p>Why longhand? Because you have a special hand-brain connection which means you&#8217;re programming your brain as you write.</p>
<p>Also don&#8217;t overburden yourself with hundreds of goals. Focus on writing specific goals for what is really important to you. Ideally you should have about 7 to 10 goals to begin.</p>
<p>Later as you get used to achievement you can add more.</p>
<p>Once they&#8217;re written down put them some place that you can see them every day. Don&#8217;t just look at the goals imagine yourself at the point where they&#8217;ve been achieved. What can you see, smell, taste, hear and feel at that moment and afterwards? Visualise yourself as already having achieved your goal. Feels great doesn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>I promised you that I would introduce SARAH, my method for goal checking.</p>
<p>SARAH stands for the following:</p>
<p>S &#8211; Set an achievable, important goal<br /> A &#8211; Act. Start something on your way to achieving the goal<br /> R &#8211; Review it regularly, either monthly or quarterly.<br /> A &#8211; Ambitious, check that you have some ambitious goals<br /> H &#8211; Honestly assess whether the goal needs changing and do it</p>
<p>If your goals start being completed long before you expect review them more often!</p>
<p>These methods can be used for you or for your business. They work just the same. Use them and watch how your results improve.</p>
<p>When you kick-off with the power of goals your business is going to move in exactly the direction you want.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can neglect about producing New Year&#8217;s Resolutions if you are hoping for a effective last result. Most are not truly really worth the paper they are produced on.</p>
<p>No much less than Mark Twain has produced of New Year&#8217;s Resolutions, &amp;ampampquotNow is the accepted time to make your regular annual great resolutions. Subsequent week you can begin paving hell with them as typical. Yesterday, everyone smoked his last cigar, took his last drink, and swore his last oath. These days, we are a pious and exemplary neighborhood. Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to the winds and gone to cutting our ancient shortcomings significantly shorter than ever before prior to.&amp;ampampquot</p>
<p>The best vast   majority of New Year&#8217;s Resolutions have gone by the wayside prior to January is more than and most will not even be remembered six months later on. And the cause is pretty simple: Most are produced in response to something harmful &#8212; a behavior or scenario that the person needs to alter or finish. And therein lies the issue ? it is tough to create momentum from a harmful response. It is generally easier to transfer toward something rather than absent from something.</p>
<p>Believe about 1 of the most adopted resolutions &#8212; additional weight reduction. No 1 can get thrilled about dropping additional weight because it demands deprivation. It is a harmful response to concerns about look, nicely becoming, and so on. The results of additional weight reduction Resolutions display their weakness. A 1998 survey sponsored by Gardenburger discovered that a lot much much more than three-fourths of all women in in between the ages of twenty five and 54 make diet and additional weight-reduction ideas each and every yr. Almost nine of ten respondents noted only occasional or no great results, whilst nearly fifty % misplaced little or truly acquired additional weight rather.</p>
<p>The individuals who be efficient at dropping additional weight and keeping the reduction have generally been established by a dream a lot larger and a lot much much more constructive than just dropping additional weight. They see on their personal residing a healthy way of life. They begin to act and believe like individuals who are in great bodily form. There is a lot much much more of a radical alter in a person&#8217;s thinking and actions than you see with most resolutions. It would not be feasible to impact and maintain these sorts of a radical alter unless of course of program the person is established by a large dream that is constructive in nature.</p>
<p>An additional popular intention is to stop cigarette cigarette smoking. And I can certainly relate to that &#8212; I was a three-pack-a-day smoker till I celebrated a smoke-totally  free New Year&#8217;s twelve numerous  years back once more. For more than 20 numerous  years I had tried to stop numerous times utilizing each and every gadget and method I heard about. But as long as I was trying to stop, I could not break the grip.</p>
<p>Rather, I produced a dream to turn out to be a non-smoker. I fell in adore with the idea of breathing clear air rather of smoky air, of my body and clothing smelling great rather of smoky. I believed about how great it would be to fashion meals once more. I made the decision to begin acting and thinking like a non-smoker, and when the thinking took preserve I simply stop cigarette cigarette smoking. In all the numerous  years since, I&#8217;ve by no indicates required an additional cigarette, by no indicates even believed about wanting 1.</p>
<p>If you are heading to make a New Year&#8217;s Resolution this yr, make 1 with a greater probability for great results. Make a Resolution to create a existence technique. Most individuals are in a totally  free-drop via existence, careening from 1 crisis to the subsequent. They wake up 1 day and ten, 20, thirty or a lot much much more numerous  years have handed and they are nowhere close to exactly  where they believed or hoped they&#8217;d be. Running with a existence technique you are a lot a lot much much more apt to be thrilled by what the long term brings even if you be efficient at attaining only a small component of your technique.</p>
<p>A existence technique ought to deal with all locations of your existence these sorts of as finances, nicely becoming, relationships, profession, spiritual and even recreational. Whilst a great deal of our focus tends to be on financial problems like growing revenue or reducing financial financial debt, or nicely becoming problems like dropping additional weight or quitting cigarette cigarette smoking, the undeniable actuality is that a existence lived out of stability isn&#8217;t a existence of greater high  quality at all.</p>
<p>If you had been heading to develop a new home and you had this idea for a great grasp bed space suite, you would not rush out and begin making the grasp bed space. You would have a total technique prior to you started. When you method resolutions and objectives in the same method, you finish up with a a lot a lot much much better chance of achieving great results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Human beings are objective-looking for creatures. We are impatient and try, and fall, and try again till we discover to stroll. We babble and coo and struggle till we discover to speak. Skinned knees imply absolutely nothing in the quest to trip a bicycle. Lately, the world has watched Olympic athletes over-come incredible hurdles in the quest for a medal. When a customer tells me they have had a objective, but in the previous 6 months they have produced little or no progress towards achieving it, I inspire them to inquire themselves the subsequent ten questions:</p>
<p>1. Do I truly, truly want this objective? It might sound nice, it might be some thing I should have or might enjoy, but do I truly, deep in my soul, want it? Or, not?</p>
<p>two. Is the objective really just a means to some other objective? Is my stated objective truly a way to appear great, or to make sure you someone, or a useful excuse to work on some thing that seems wonderful while I steer clear of some thing I don&#8217;t want to do? Great-sounding goals can be a marvelous distraction!</p>
<p>three. Is this objective constant with my morals and values? Often there is a subtle, unnoticed conflict between our stated goals and our values. For instance, the concept of &#8220;honest profit&#8221; might be causing confusion, or we might be caught between our goals of building a company and our values of investing much more time at home.</p>
<p>4. Is this objective constant with my beliefs about myself and my abilities? The many years of coaching and complete commitment to winning an Olympic medal are only feasible if the athlete profoundly believes they have the possible to succeed. Doubts about what is &#8220;feasible&#8221;, or beliefs that life is unfair will undermine performance each and every time.</p>
<p>5. Why do I want this objective? Getting many solid, vitally essential factors for our goals will drive us much more powerfully than anything else. &#8220;I want to be a doctor to save a child&#8217;s life&#8221; is a extremely different reason to remain up and study all evening than &#8220;because being a doctor might be enjoyable.&#8221; Why do you want this objective, and how badly do you want it?</p>
<p>6. Who else desires me to attain my objective? Knowing that family, buddies, company partners or the entire world is cheering for us, counting on us and supporting us is critically essential. Who else understands about and desires you to achieve your success?</p>
<p>seven. How, particularly, will I advantage from achieving my objective? Becoming clear and specific about the advantages that will come from completing our goals is a powerful motivator. &#8220;Reducing my blood pressure will assist me reside to see my grandchildren&#8221; is extremely different than &#8220;If I do this, my doctor will quit criticizing me.&#8221;</p>
<p>8. What 1 crucial stage can I take these days that will move me toward my objective? Some goals are so big or so far off that they are truly just dreams or fantasies. A helpful objective is 1 you can work on these days. Make an appointment, open a cost savings account, eat a salad for lunch, inform your partner you adore them ? what ever your objective, find a specific task you can do these days, and then just repeat it a couple of thousand times!</p>
<p>9. Are there smaller tasks that will each lead to my larger objective, and give me pleasure in the meantime? If the objective is to operate a marathon, train for a nearby enjoyable-operate first! If the objective is to be a millionaire, obtaining the first $ten,000 in the bank is a worthwhile and helpful begin.</p>
<p>ten. Based on your solutions to the first 9 questions, the 10th query is: &#8220;Is there another objective, or another version of this objective, that is truly much much more essential and much much more doable?&#8221; If the first 9 questions have not motivated you to action and produced tangible, specific outcomes, then inquire quantity ten. People normally look for and accomplish big goals, but we do greatest when the objective is tailored to our values, priorities and individual situation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last month&#8217;s edition of Footprints and Monuments was about living your life going Mach3 with your hair on fire. Learning from the past, but passionately waiting for tomorrow to get here. The featured person, Richie, recently came to a goal setting seminar that I was leading. Last month you learned that Richie was setting twenty-year goals even though six weeks prior he had been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. It saddens me to have to write that Richie died just a few days ago.</p>
<p>Vowing to not let his life, and death, be in vain this month&#8217;s edition of F&#038;M is about priorities. Possibly in a way you have never thought about priorities. I once heard a story (summarized here for the sake of time) about a teacher that held up a completely empty two-gallon jar in front of his class. He began to fill the jar with large rocks. When the jar was full to the top he asked his class if it was full. They all responded with a unified, &#8220;Yes!&#8221;</p>
<p>He then told them that they were mistaken and pulled out a bucket of much smaller rocks and began to pour them in to the jar. He again asked them if the jar was full. The students being a little bit wiser didn&#8217;t know how to answer. Some thought yes, others no, and some not sure.</p>
<p>He then pulled out a final bucket full of sand and began to pour it in to the jar. He poured, and then he shook the jar good, and then poured some more until the jar was full to the brim. Finally he asked his students if the jar was full. Most responded affirmatively, &#8220;Yes!&#8221; He then told them they were right.</p>
<p>The moral of this story is: large rocks must go in the jar first. The same is true of our priorities. Our &#8220;big rocks&#8221; must come first or they will never make onto our calendars, to-do lists, or prayer lists. The question is, &#8220;What should our big rocks be?&#8221;</p>
<p>With many rocks to choose from, it is my opinion that there are four that need to go into the jars of our lives first. They are, listed in order, our faith, family, faithfulness, and fun. I understand that there are many more rocks to choose from. For instance, friends, finances, future, and frustrations are important &#8211; but we must keep our priorities in line if we are going to end our lives looking back saying, &#8220;Well done.&#8221;</p>
<p>Our faith needs to be our first big rock. It is God who saves us from eternal death, becomes our best friend during the lonely times of our lives, heals us when doctors give us no hope, and allows peace to rest over us when our lives become chaotic.</p>
<p>Our family must fall in line second, not our careers. There has never been a person on his or her deathbed that wished that he had spent more time working and building his career. Most, if not all, wish that they had spent more time cultivating their family relationships. This was the wish of my friend Richie, something that he tried to do after he was diagnosed with the brain tumor that eventually took his life.</p>
<p>The word faithfulness is not often used in our American culture. The definition of faithfulness here is: Being there (being faithful). Many parents make decision and choices that result in being too busy to &#8220;be there&#8221; when their child scores the winning touchdown or sings their first solo. Business people routinely make promises that they can&#8217;t possibly keep, and marriage vows are broken everyday in our country. God does call us to be faithful, faithful to Him and to others.</p>
<p>Fun is the last big rock in our jars. It is my opinion that many live their lives in a ho-hum routine; working, cooking, cleaning, sleeping, and doing it all over again the next day. I challenge you to spice up your life a bit by adding times to just have fun to your schedule. Do something that you don&#8217;t ordinarily get to do. For instance, after the family has retired for the evening, grab a good book and head for a hot, steamy bath (guys this works great for us too).</p>
<p>The little things (small rocks and sand) in our lives are important too. Our friendships make life much more rewarding. When you can help that new widow get from today to tomorrow without shedding a tear you know you have been a friend. Our finances are also important. God tells us in His Word to provide for our family and our future. He also tells us to be content with what we have. If we focus more on what God wants for our lives and not what we want then our future will turn out just right.</p>
<p>The last little rock or sand in our jar are our frustrations, these are the small things that seem to keep us from focusing on the more important things. There are times when we must &#8220;sweat the small stuff,&#8221; but we must keep our priorities in perspective.</p>
<p>I hope that you will take a close look at your life&#8217;s jar and the rocks that go in first. And, like last month, I challenge you to live like you are going to die tomorrow, while at the same time like you are going to live forever.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What do u wanna be when you grow up?&#8221; &#8221; I don&#8217;t wanna grow up&quot;!! How lovely it would be if we don&#8217;t grow up and be a child forever?</p>
<p>The teacher asked her class what each wanted to become when they grew up. The teacher noticed one boy sitting silent.. So asked him&quot; What do you want to be when you grow up?&#8221; &#8220;Possible&#8221; he replied. &#8220;Possible?&#8221; asked the teacher. &#8220;Yes,&#8221; He said. &#8220;My mom says I am impossible. So when I get to be big, I want to be possible. !! This is a popular joke going around.</p>
<p>But seriously how many times have you heard the question, &#8220;What do you want to be when you grow up?&#8221; As a teenager you tend to hear this question a lot, but you have probably heard it since you were five years old.</p>
<p>For the first few years, the impact of being with someone who may be a teacher or a doctor or an engineer make us say spontaneously whatever we want to be. We just spurt out the reply without knowing what is in store for us.</p>
<p>The teenagers who would be out of school in a few months begin to ponder about this question. They are now mature enough to decide on what they are good at and what they can specialize in. It requires quite a bit of knowledge to become successful in this tough environment. But it should be remembered that a teenager is fairly naïve about the real world and so it is easy to make mistakes during that age which can affect negatively for the rest of your life. They should heed to a fair amount of guidance and counselling at this age.</p>
<p>They would opt for their dream careers once they are out of college but how many are lucky enough to find their dream careers? There are some of us who never decide on our dream careers, while others seem to know exactly what they wish to do from a very young age. How do we find out what work will be our cup of tea??</p>
<p>Asking guidance from experienced people, and experimenting in our lives and treading across the hard facts of life &#8211; these are the solutions one has to opt for if one has to be successful in pursuing their dream jobs?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you set resolutions for your self to achieve in 2005? Perhaps you want to get a lot much more physical exercise, eat healthier, or invest a lot much more time with your family members members. If you&#8217;re in business for your self, maybe you are pondering about using a bookkeeper, operating fewer hrs, or beefing up your marketing plan. All of these issues are extremely good goals, but how do you really  feel about them?

Even if it&#8217;s just taking 20 minutes at the complete of every day to kick back again, near your eyes and do completely absolutely nothing if that will enhance your peace-of-thoughts or help you to unwind, that&#8217;s fantastic &#8212; mission accomplished!</p>
<p>Try to keep in thoughts that we are all human, and that no one is ideal. Consider child actions to reach your goals, and they will not seem so overpowering. And if issues are just fine in your existence correct now, and you do not  feel the need to make any enhancements, then do not. It is that easy. Do not be worried about getting lofty goals &#8212; just focus on smaller sized ones as you see match.</p>
<p>By taking care of your self, and not placing the stress on to produce resolutions that you may by no indicates keep, you&#8217;ll be in a position to appreciate 2005 to your fullest. Here&#8217;s to a healthy, happy, and effective yr ahead&#8230;your way!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Occasionally when I talk with people about goals they seem to interpret the intention of goals as being to get more things. Naturally things are important but there is so much more to goal setting that I wish to share with you.</p>
<p>Of course it is important to have goals for new things &#8230;</p>
<p>Perhaps your dream home by the ocean &#8230;</p>
<p>Maybe a nice shiny new car to get you around in style &#8230;</p>
<p>or even a new iPod to listen to your Goals Magic CD&#8217;s on <img src='http://www.newsletterjournal.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>It&#8217;s great to set goals for new things, but not for the things themselves, rather what they will make of you to get them.</p>
<p>But there is another type of goal which I want to challenge you to think about and begin to set. It&#8217;s soul goals! Now I know you are wondering &#8230; what are soul goals and how do they apply to me and my life? Great question, so come with me and discover why you will soon be applying them in your life.</p>
<p>Soul goals are those goals that are larger than you! They are goals that impact on other people and on the world around you. They are goals that you invest your heart and soul into without any expectation of return. Soul goals are what gives life its passion, purpose &#038; meaning! Think of Martin Luther King Jnr &#8230; his whole life was dedicated to the pursuit of his soul goals! In the end he gave his life for his soul goals. It takes a mighty goal and a might man to give your life to.</p>
<p>What about Mother Theresa? She passionately pursued her soul goals of taking care of those who were not empowered to look after themselves. Now I&#8217;m not suggesting that you will want to pursue grand goals that have a profound impact on the world around you &#8230; rather, that you look deep inside yourself and find something that you have a passion to contribute to the world.</p>
<p>What is it that you feel a sense of desire to do something about? What cause can you see yourself adding value to? What community, national or global projects are calling you to them and resonating with you? All of us need soul goals that we can invest our hearts, our minds and our souls into. We all need to feel a connection with something larger than ourselves. Its inherent in our souls to want to give without expectation of return.</p>
<p>As you search for your soul goals now, open your mind and heart to the infinite possibilities to match your unique skills, wisdom, specialized knowledge, compassion, assets, contacts, networks, creativity, and genius to. As you read these words knowing what you know about your incredible untapped capacity you can find a way to apply it in some way for the greater good.</p>
<p>Seek out your soul goals! Set your soul goals! Share your soul goals! Pursue your soul goals! Grow your soul goals! Encourage others to adopt soul goals! Here is a noble thought &#8230; for every five goals I set for me I have one soul goal to help thee! Soul goals are paying back your debt of gratitude for the good fortune you have to be able to pursue your personal or business goals.</p>
<p>So add a little soul into your goals!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nothing gets done unless an action is completed. Everything we do is an action step. Of course some are so routine they don&#8217;t really need to be written down or remembered. They are simply habit or ingrained in our daily lives. Wake up. Go to the bathroom. Say your prayers. Read the sports section of the newspaper. Take a shower. Brush your teeth. Get dressed. Drive to work. Do you have these tasks written down in your planner? Of course not. But they are still action tasks. You don&#8217;t get cleaned until you wash up. You don&#8217;t know how the Phillies did last night until you read the sports section.</p>
<p>The trick to moving forward and accomplishing goals, dreams and completing projects is, you guessed it, action steps. Let&#8217;s say your goal is to bill a million dollars. How are you going to do that? What steps are necessary to achieve this goal? Working from the goal itself backward to today you might list these steps to bill one million dollars: increase sales staff to 10 people, train new sellers, hire new sellers, interview candidates, schedule interviews, review applications received, advertise sales openings, call newspaper for ad rates/info. This example clearly shows what steps need to be taken to reach the goal. And most importantly it tells us what the very next action step is &#8211; call the newspaper for ad rates and placement info. Do you treat your projects this way?</p>
<p>Taking the time to identify your projects, goals and dreams and then breaking them down into bite sized steps will help you become more productive. Let&#8217;s talk about planning your business goals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wonder if anyone truly reads lengthy things from Ezines other than for the juicy and interesting types but I am 1 of these couple of who painstakingly reads nearly all articles posted. And now I&#8217;ve a got a flip to create some factor here. I had it in my thoughts to create some factor short and interesting to maintain you on your toes however, no issue how I lengthy to maintain this short, I just cannot. Unless of program if I&#8217;ll state what I have to say in bullet kind. So permit me have my hand at maintaining you entertained if not educated with this write-up.</p>
<p>Produced equally so to communicate, endowed with the exact same skills all individuals have. However at a alter of an angle could significantly alter types point of see.</p>
<p>Conditions, with which we are in, are perceived by our wits as being fantastic or poor. However, conditioning our brains to react to a certain stimulus could also impact the way we see things. Maybe the cliché that goes like &amp;ampquotbeauty is in the eye of the beholder&amp;ampquot is a rule derived from the diversity of types viewpoint. However pardon me, I&#8217;d instead not delve a lot into this saying but expound on an additional 1 a lot more related.</p>
<p>I stumbled on a quote 1 day which says:</p>
<p>&#8220;Your problems is not contained, primarily, in the situation which gave rise to it, but in the psychological state with which you regard that situation and which you deliver to bear on it.&#8221; (Byways of Blessedness)</p>
<p>As children, our views of scenarios are simplified variations. No gray locations just a easy aye&#8217;s or naye&#8217;s will do. Existence then was pretty a lot institutionalized and sanitized to match the way we see things. I am a bit grateful for that. Alas! It was an insufficient coaching me for the long term option makings I have not observed coming along my way. I had the untrue bravado that I could tackle what ever may come my way, head on. Sadly, that was just it ? untrue bravado.</p>
<p>I tended to see things in an uncomplicated way, had not allotted unique amounts of pondering on essential scenarios that needed my decisions but merely stated indeed or no correct away. Although I can see myself as an intellectual, getting relied on scholarships as my academic plan from elementary years &#8217;till college and even sustained myself via residing allowances which arrived as part of my scholarships, I can pretty say that I can be categorized as just 1 of the fortunate couple of who passed the exams. However this on your own have by no means assured me a secure passage in the path of the realities of generating decisions, of dealing with feelings, imperfections and failures.</p>
<p>I had a sheltered see of things. I often wondered if I&#8217;ll be a lot more suited to the existence of the wealthy and pampered. Or would I just carry on to reside with my mother and father. Then, I would not have to be worried about anything but just depart the option makings to my mom or whoever is in charge. Well, I opted to reside by myself at the age of 20. Absent from my mother and father and family members and lived on my own money and confidently outfitted with my bravado. No issue how untrue it was, I was founded to tackle every factor head on with out even pausing to think about possible disasters my actions would entail.</p>
<p>Now, following two years of residing with the following effects of the detrimental decisions I have incurred during some of the not-so-fantastic years and residing with the concept of my imperfections, I can say that I am performing really well. If had been still a college student, I may have seen myself as a mess and ended up despairing and possibly wasted all the remnants of what I have left.</p>
<p>Now, even if I can say that I am not however the best individual there is, I have altered and turned in the path of a a lot better path &#8212; Hopeful and delighted of the opportunities that will still be coming.</p>
<p>I owe this new outlook in existence to the individual who accepted me past my flaws and have observed me in a various light. His various see of me has altered the way I see myself. He has provided me a new path and a new attitude. Gone are the gray clouds at the finish of my horizon and changed with a new hope to rise and shine once more. If there is 1 phrase I can explain this individual is that he has been sent to be my angel here on earth and I will be forever thankful for that.</p>
<p>His reactions to my failures and mistakes have healed the hurt and grudge that I had for myself. He conditioned my pondering that I&#8217;ll by no means be ideal but can only aim to be. He has altered my psychological and emotional perception of things, to aim in the path of perfection but humbly chastise myself if ever make 1. He has taught me that imperfections are meant to be dealt with and accepted humbly and can only serve as a lesson and nothing a lot more than that.</p>
<p>I am shocked that it could only consider a various point of see and an unconditional acceptance to recover and erase the mistakes of the previous or even of the existing and to inspire a individual to renew his/her psychological state of distinguishing things and acting on it positively. I now advantage from the newfound knowledge that I could by no means alter circumstances, may they be constructive or damaging. But I could always give it a small twist and make the damaging, constructive and the constructive, a small bit a lot more constructive. I can now confidently say &amp;ampquotIt&#8217;s only a issue of constructive pondering!&amp;ampquot</p>
