Goal Setting What do you REALLY want? With goal setting you are able to focus all your strengths of your primary purpose you choose for your life. Definite plans produce definite results. Plan your work and then work your plan: hour by hour, day by day, week by week, month by month. Personal Motivation and Leadership This must come from the inside out. You cannot wait for someone to push you; you must motivate yourself through goal setting. All people yearn to become more than what they are. They look to leaders for qualities they desire in their own lives. Successful leaders refuse to sit back passively and leave their future to chance or the choices of others. Dare to make your own decisions and to direct your own course toward success. True leaders resist the temptation to do everything for their team. Guide them constantly to be accountable and to take full responsibility for their own successes and failures. Desire The degree of success you achieve depends on the amount of desire you possess. For all successful people, intense, burning desire is habit, a way of life, and a deliberate course of action. How much do you desire your goals and dreams to be fulfilled? Visualisation and affirmations You will experience the positive power of affirmation when you write down everything you want to be, do, have and experience. Read and repeat (affirm) it out loud every day at least four times. Through visualisation you create vivid mental pictures of your positive desires. Scientific studies show that your brain cannot differentiate between an ‘actual’ experience in real life and an ‘artificial’ or simulated experience imagined vividly and in every detail. Visualisation allows you to experience the future now. As a result, you know how to make that future come true. You find yourself being irresistibly drawn toward that vision. Visualise yourself at the top! Self-Image Educator Prescott Lecky and other researchers have found that a person’s self-image is a more accurate predictor of performance than IQ. The self-image sets boundaries of individual accomplishments. It defines what you can and cannot be. You must accept full responsibility for self-image you now possess. By expanding your self-image, you expand the area of the possible. Start to accept yourself as wonderful, unique human being. Self-acceptance is the basis for self-improvement.
