Recently you’ve been able to cast your eyes over the media and see swine flu is everywhere. In the UK there’s been cases reported on a daily basis. Headlines scream “No End to the Pandemic.” It makes me wonder what would happen if one of the best time saving tools known to man or woman ‘Goal Setting’ spread in the same way?
What if suddenly everyone woke up to the power of goal setting and how it can change their life for the good forever? What if instead of people finding reasons why they can’t be, do or have that special something they have always dreamed of they decided “this is my goal and I WILL get it.”
Not just one person but thousands in every country in the world. The media reports would be terrific there would be announcements like “yet more goal setting has broken out in California USA and reports have been received that ‘goals fever’ is spreading to Canada and Mexico as well. Every where you look people are setting goals and going about achieving them. TV stations report a huge drop in viewing figures although ‘Goals for Gain’ is now the top rated show in the USA and Europe” or something like that?
If positive action spread as quickly as a pandemic there would be purposeful change on a global scale in weeks if not days. Millions of people would wake up to the realisation that they, not anyone else are the architects of their future. They would see that failure is nothing to be afraid of it’s just a guide as to what doesn’t work which enables them to try something else.
Only about 3% of people have written goals. Less than that have a system that helps them plan how they will achieve those goals. Consider this; without written goals and a plan to achieve them you never truly know if you’re heading in the right direction. You could waste years doing things that take you away from not closer to what you truly desire.
If you go on a car journey 99% of the time you decide where it is your going first then use either sat-nav or a map to help you get there (set the goal then devise the plan). You don’t just get on any bus you get on the one that takes you to where you want to go and to do that you have to have decided on a destination. We do this type of mega short goal setting and planning all day long without even thinking about it.
I ask you this; can you honestly say your life would be worse if you had written short, medium and long term goals and a step by step plan of how you were going to achieve them? Didn’t think so! Start today; don’t waste any more time being your own rudderless ship. Take action right now and encourage others to do so as well and maybe we can spread something good?
