Unleash the Power of Goal Setting, Day 2

Today, we are continuing Jack Canfield's study of Success Principle #7. Due to the lengthy content of the lesson, we are taking three days to complete the tasks that he has suggested. Please go back and re-read my November 14 blog to refresh your memory about the concepts that were introduced.

I realize that this lesson contains a large volume of work, and it is going to take you some time to do it thoughtfully. Joe and I are taking a trip for a couple of days. During our travel time, we'll be working on these tasks. We've packed plenty of paper, 3 x 5 cards, and a stack of magazines to cut up.

I want to stress the importance of writing goals that are measurable and contain an accountability date. It is equally important to dream big dreams that will challenge you to grow. Remember, mastery of life skills is your greatest goal, not just the accumulation of material things.

A good leader never asks her followers to do something that she is not willing or capable of doing herself. I'll be praying for your success as you work through this.

Today's Challenge
Sunday's homework directed you to write down 101 goals for your life. If you haven't finished those yet, now is the time to get them on paper.

When your 101-item list is finished, copy each goal onto a 3 x 5 card. If you hand-write your goals in capital letters, your brain will remember them with greater ease. You will be carrying these with you wherever you go and reviewing them three times daily.

Your original list will go into your Goals Book, which you will be creating on Tuesday. If you type your list and print it out, this step will further cement the ideas into your head.

The Tuesday, November 16 post will not appear until the evening, due to my trip. On Tuesday morning, review the Sunday, November 14 post again so that you can spend some time during the day on your Goals Book. Don't try to finish it all in one day. This is a project that we'll have to keep working on over the next several weeks. Just buy your binder, fill it with sheet protectors, and start looking for magazine images that depict your dreams.
