How successful people get what they want,

A goal is so much more than just a thought in your head. It is more than just a list of things that would be nice to get done “one day”.

Goals are a profound message of who you are and what you’re capable of becoming.

Happy and successful people are fueled by goals. That’s an undeniable fact. I bet my integrity that you could not show me one happy and successful person who did not start with a goal or a vision of who they wanted to become.

But Why Do Most People Fail To Follow Through With Their Goals?

Because most people fail to see goals as a process of internal development. They instead see goals as a list of things that need to be done. And in doing so, they will see every reason and obstacle of why something can’t be done.

* I don’t have enough money…
* I don’t have enough time…
* I have too many other responsibilities…
* It’s too risky…

Newsflash! There’s no REASON for excuses!

Because those who achieve success and those who achieve their goals with purpose and happiness, realize that the true power of goals is not about materialistic gains or earning a list of achievements. They realize that the gains and achievements are a symbol of excellence. They realize that goals symbolize who you are becoming as a person.
“We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.” —Stephen R. Covey, author of international bestseller, 7 Habits of Highly Successful People

Goals are the human journey toward the development of your spiritual being.

And when you realize that goal setting and achievement is a process of internal development and not external gain… every single excuse dissipates into thin air. Why? Because when you start seeing things from this point of view, setting and achieving goals is not about resources, it’s about resourcefulness.

You see, a black belt karate student doesn’t have to measurably be the biggest or tallest or strongest person in the world to be the champion. The mark of a champion resides in the fighting spirit, doesn’t it? The resourcefulness, not the resources.

So, it’s not about whether you have the time… it’s about creatively planning your day. It’s not about having the money… it’s about fueling yourself on determination. It’s not about having the right contacts… it’s about tapping into curiosity for creative solutions. It’s not about whether you have the right experience, it’s about driving on passion. It’s not about whether or not you can manage it, it’s about whether you have the resolve.

And this is probably why many other goal-setting programs have not worked for you! They have not identified the true meaning behind having goals. And without that meaning, all you see is obstacles. And when you see obstacles, achieving goals becomes a task… a chore… a difficulty… when in actual fact, it should be a simple pursuit of happiness.

The True Pursuit of Happiness Listens to NO Excuses

You either remain an incomplete slave to your excuses, or you tap into your resourcefulness to become a complete human. It’s as simple as that.

The results you have in your life now are a product of what you do. And what you do, are effectively, your habits. If you want to experience the joys of having a better life, you need better results. And to have better results, you need better habits. That’s why creating new habits that are in line with your goals is crucial to achieving your goals with joy, power and purpose. (Gary Ryan Blair)
