Why Is Goal Setting Important To
Your Life Success - By: Truman Burger
Why is goal setting important to
you in your personal and career choice? Goal setting is an on going
life long process that defines what direction an individual wants to
go. Usually this is an idea or a wish for personal, business,
relationship, etc. change. The SMART goal process is easy to apply.
Most people's biggest problem in
goal writing, is where to begin. The first step is to decide what
area of your life you want to improve or change. Would you like to
drink more glasses of water each day? Would you like to have your
credit cards under control? Does your business endeavors need
expanding? Take out a sheet of paper immediately. Quickly, write down
some things that you would like to see happen in your life. Cover all
areas of your life, personal, relationship, business, charity, etc.
You may have several in one category and none in another. Keep
writing until you cannot think of anything else, but keep the list
handy, because once this process starts, it will keep flowing.
Everyone remembers setting a New
Year's resolution and two days into the New Year, the resolution is
completely forgotten. The downfall for most people is that they do
not write down their resolution. Pure and simple, the act of writing
commits you. This commitment gives the goal setting power. With
written objectives, everything gets accomplished.
There are tricks to goal setting
that makes all aspirations possible. Apply the SMART principle.
Specific "Drink more water"
is not specific. Drink 8 glasses of water per day, is.
Measurable You must be able to
calculate results on your efforts. This goes back to being specific.
By stating the desire to drink 8 glasses of water a day, you can
record your progress.
Attainable Steps This is a very
important aspect. If you are not a good water drinker, it doesn't
bode well for saying that tomorrow I will drink 8 glasses of day.
However, 4 glasses a day would be a good start
Relevant The more relevant your
goal is, the greater the chances for success. If drinking more water
improves your health and makes you feel better, you will be more apt
to succeed.
Time Bound There has to be a time
frame. This binds specific and measurable together. Now you need to
pick a time-frame to your goal.
The whole idea is to set yourself
up for the win. Put SMART into action.
Now the next important step is to
record what is actually happening each day. Create a chart, broken
down into weeks, with each day listed and record each step towards
your objective. Then reward yourself. This could be a smiley face or
a check mark for each successful day and a bigger reward at the end
of a successful week. Tracking your actions provides for
accountability. Who are you accountable to? Yourself, of course.
Along with accountability comes the elation of accomplishment.
Will you have days that you do
not accomplish your targeted level? Of course! The important part is
to not beat up on yourself and give up. Reaffirm your commitment for
the next day.
Goal setting is a lifelong
process. Whether it is for personal or business reasons, the process
remains the same. The completion of a goal prompts for another one.
When you see the progress made, goal setting becomes a friend instead
of something to avoid at all costs.
Just remember the SMART plan:
Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time bound. Look at
the list you have written. Pick something small and easily attained.
Decide on your why of that idea. Pick a time frame and create
attainable steps. Begin now!!

Six Mistakes That Stop The Law Of
Attraction From Working For You - Life Coaching Program, By:
MatthewFerry
As an executive coach, I notice
one shift in mindset can translate to amazing results. As a life
coach, I see people experiencing so much joy, love, peace and
happiness in all areas of their lives – business, home,
relationships with others, health. Setting the Law of Attraction into
motion to achieve what you want can be a powerful force along this
path. And I know this, and still I myself make mistakes.
I made some big mistakes last
year and I want to share the results with you.
Everything I’ve ever taught has
had this concept at the core: Be happy first, and everything else
works itself out.
I observed it in the most
successful people I met; I taught it to thousands who used the
concept to have very successful lives. Then somehow I got off the
path myself.
The moment I stopped trying to
show the world I could have a big company, I felt joy. The moment I
stopped working from guilt and obligation, trying to keep up
appearances, I felt light and free.
The moment I let go of doing
things that made me feel bad, and stopped doing things because they
were things I had grown used to doing, everything changed. Everything
got better. Everything accelerated. Things became effortless.
Everything started flowing again.
Magic, synchronicity, and
cooperation began to flow in my life. My wife jumped on board and
starting helping me with everything, and we have been reconnecting
and loving each other more and more ever since.
I got my joy back, and the moment
I got my joy back. The Law of Attraction started working again! For
me, it was even worse to completely realize that the Law of
Attraction had never stopped working for me. The Law of Attraction
gladly orchestrated all of my failures, set backs, resistance and
obstacles.
But no one ever talks about
that…do they? I want to share with you six mistakes people make
with the Law of Attraction, so you don’t have to go there yourself.
You can shift and find yourself back on track once again.
Law of Attraction Mistake # 1:
I'm not clear about what I want and why I want it.
“
I know what I want! I want
more money! I want to be fit, thin and sexy!” Most people say. Yet,
most people who say that to me are fat and broke. They haven’t
gotten to the bottom of why they want what they want. Almost everyone
I meet is trying to prove something, demonstrate something, be
something, show the world, and be somebody.
You are always getting what you
want. You just aren’t clear about it, so when you get it, you don’t
know you have it.
If you want fame and fortune so
you can prove to the world that you are good enough, then your mind
is clear that you aren’t good enough; otherwise you won’t have to
prove it. If you are clear you aren’t good enough, then you will
attract situations that make it obvious you aren’t good enough.
Law of Attraction Mistake #2:
What I want conflicts with my beliefs.
This is the true killer of your
manifestations. As a life coach, I see this all the time. You are
always getting what you truly believe.
Wanting
(a) I want to be rich
(b) I want the love of my life
(c) I want respect and power
(d) I want to be #1
(e) I want to be skinny
Believing
(a) I’m not good enough
(b) I’m ugly
(c) I’m stupid
(d) I don’t deserve success
(e) I hate myself
You can see where what you want
and what you believe may conflict. This sets up a Law of Attraction
messing up of your resonation. You are resonating with one thing and
another, all over the place. You will attract something but who knows
what that will be. Get clear and let go of the beliefs that are
blocking your wishes from flowing to you easily.
Law of Attraction Mistake #3:
What I want begins to manifest from where I stand today (the mistake
is most people don’t get that).
Where you are is the perfect
place to get what you want. But, most people decide on their new
intention and instantly make where they are wrong. They say “Some
day, when I have this or have done that, then I will …”
This sends out a message: now is
not enough.
Now is not good.
Law of Attraction Mistake # 4: I
drop everything to pursue my manifestation.
People drop everything that is
sustaining them. People drop everything that holds their life
together. When you compromise your structure for existence, that
critical mind part of you kicks into survival mode. Your life becomes
a train wreck.
Law of Attraction Mistake #5: My
focus is self-centered.
You will never be in the flow
worrying about yourself. Worrying about self is seeing what is wrong.
Instead, focus your attention on being of service to others. Watch
what happens when you shift your energy to help others.
Law of Attraction Mistake #6: I’m
obsessed with getting my results.
The results always come but they
bubble up. They never look the way you thought they would. That’s
the magic of the universe working on your behalf. Results show up in
the way that serves everyone on the planet. So this is not always
what you thought, in fact, the result seldom resembles exactly what
you imagined. But it might be better.

“
The lack of money is the
root of all evil.” - Mark Twain
What it Takes
We all want more money in our
lives and we try to attract it by using affirmations and meditation.
The article below shows that we
may need to do more.
How to Attract Money Using the
Law of Attraction, By: Suzanne Glover
If you want to effectively learn
how to attract money using the Law of Attraction, you've got to go
deeper than just doing affirmations and "thinking positive."
This articles tells you a rare secret for using the Law of Attraction
to attract money which gets you to the heart of attraction without a
lot of work.
What you must do when using the
Law of Attraction is to learn how to manifest money through "unseen"
or "unconscious" means, which are found at deeper levels
than your conscious mind.
How deep do I mean? I mean going
straight to your subconscious mind and addressing all the negative
beliefs you have around money. Now, many people such as yourself hear
this and say, "Gee, I don't think I have any negative beliefs
around money, so this doesn't apply to me," or say, "But
I'm doing money affirmations to change my subconscious mind, so this
doesn't apply to me, either," right? Wrong! If you've been
living in today's modern society, you most likely have absorbed many
negative beliefs about money that are working straight against all
those money affirmations you're doing when using the Law of
Attraction for money goals.
These "unseen and unheard"
money beliefs are lurking in the background of your mind and
discrediting all that "positive thinking" you're trying to
"shove down its throat." Your subconscious mind doesn't
really like to change that much, as well as it has a "gatekeeper"
(your conscious mind) to keep out all those radical thoughts that go
against the grain of your subconscious. And it is your subconscious
that is consistently putting out an energetic signal about money
(either good or bad) to which the Law of Attraction can't help but
respond.
So, what you want to do is teach
your subconscious mind how to attract money and you may already be
trying to do this by reciting money affirmations. Now, I will admit
that money affirmations do eventually work, but they take huge
amounts of continual effort to get them past your conscious mind's
resistance.
A better way to teach your
subconscious mind how to attract money is to use something called
silent subliminals that go straight past your conscious mind to get
directly absorbed by your subconscious mind because the "gatekeeper"
(your conscious mind) can't hear the affirmations, so they don't get
discredited. This takes off a huge layer of resistance to your
affirmations.
But, even if you use the silent
subliminals, you still must use "targeted subliminals" that
address many of today's negative money beliefs in a safe and gentle
fashion. Why? Because, again, no matter how many money affirmations
you do for a "large sum of money," if one of your "negative
social beliefs around money" is that people with money are bad
and greedy, then you're not going to get that large sum of money
because you don't want to be a "bad, greedy" person. So,
your ship is sunk before it even gets afloat, and the sad part about
this is that most people don't even know their ship has a hole in it!
Why? Because most people are not aware of the negative social beliefs
they've picked up from society. That's why it's important to find and
use affirmations that address these beliefs and gently "coax"
your subconscious into feeling good around having money.
Once you know how to attract
money by addressing your specific subconscious barriers to having
money, you're set up to use the Law of Attraction for money
successfully because then your mind goes on "auto pilot"
and simply works to attract money. It knows how to manifest money
even when you're sleeping because it's sending out an energetic
signal that "money is good" and that "you are
deserving" and the Law of Attraction has no choice but to
respond because the Law of Attraction is all about energy. This is
the easiest and most effective way to learn how to attract money
using the Law of Attraction.
