Being clear about and choosing what I want, followed by a firm decision to achieve that outcome, is where freedom and power is available. Yes, decision does mean killing off other options!

A great way to think about goals is that, goal setting is making a choice.

Handwriting my goal, impresses it on my subconscious. Expressing my goal in the affirmative ensures it is a moving toward goal rather than something that I am moving away from.

It is then vital to make a deliberate decision to accomplish my goal and also to place strong, heartfelt emotions behind a list of benefits that I receive in producing the result.

For the accomplishment of my goal, there are crucial actions that will need to be taken at specific times. Obstacles (real or imagined) will also want contingencies by answering these questions for myself:

What circumstances or conditions may prevent me from achieving this goal? How will I manage each of those?

Writing down and displaying all of the above will serve as signposts to keep me on track, give me deadlines to increase the efficiency of my actions, provide strategies for overcoming blocks and my listed benefits are my personal reminders of why I am taking the actions, for those times that I procrastinate.

I will increase confidence in my ability to obtain what I want when I record and celebrate my personal victories along the way.

Then its time to take a first step and continue taking forward steps.

If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking. (Buddhist Proverb)
