I Am Driven by My Goals

I am driven by my goals.

I set goals for myself so I can stay focused and driven on my life-long journey to success. Positive goals surround me in every aspect of my life. Whether it is my continual education, spirituality, career, or finances, my well-crafted goals push me further than ever before.

Goals are essential to me because they offer me a sense of achievement. When I set a specific goal and complete it, I feel purpose. Setting a specific time period to complete my goals allows me to work at them over time as I build momentum. Once I complete a goal I feel a great sense of accomplishment.

Setting and completing goals propels me forward. My goals allow me to accomplish more in life. Once I set one goal and meet it, the feeling I get pushes me forward in my entire life. In doing so, I gain the power of passion and motivation which gives me the confidence to accomplish anything I set my mind to.

My goals give me a meaningful purpose, which inspires and motivates me. This motivation helps me enhance my weaknesses and strengthen my strengths. And in completing each goal, big or small, I feel a sense of pride and happiness that uplifts me in unimaginable ways.

Questions of Reflection:

1.    What goals do I currently have in my life?
2.    How do my goals motivate me?
3.    How do I feel when I complete a goal?

Just Say No

I know when to say no. I never take on more work than I can comfortably accomplish.

Delegating out responsibility is a talent. So is just saying no.

I know exactly what to do and when to do it. I don’t have vague ambitions. I sit down, think, and come to understand what it is I want out of my life. I know what I need to do to get there. I never let my life get out of control. I always keep my goals on target and I never neglect my body in the process.

When I find myself with more work than I can deal with, I don’t make sacrifices. I don’t steal valuable time away from other facets of my life. I have the courage to simply say no to the job. If I can, I will happily hand off the job to someone that can handle it.

Soon those around me begin to understand and respect my discretion. They come to expect quality and honesty. I never make promises I cannot keep. Although some may expect me to happily say yes even when I know I should say no, I am not afraid to set a precedent. I am not afraid to say no. There is no better time to start than today.

I offer out work to others and I don’t feel like a bad person for doing so. By thinking of myself first, I stay on top of my game and everyone around me benefits as a result. I never lose sleep, take on unneeded stress, or sacrifice my family to the job.

Questions of Reflection:

1. Am I afraid to say no?
2. Do I show as much respect to my personal life as I do to my professional life?
3. What steps can I take to make my life easier?

I Know What I Want in Life

I keep my eye on the ball.

I know what I want in life and I’ve broken down the steps into manageable tasks. I know exactly what I need to do to bring myself closer to my life goals. I am not wandering or lost. I know who I am, what I want, and where I’m going. I am confident and sincere. There is no deception or confusion. My life is crystal clear.

As I reach one goal, the next becomes closer. As I progress, my ambition is charged and I begin reaching higher. I accomplish more as each year passes, and I understand the process. I know how to further my dreams and to bring them closer.

I see life in terms of the big picture. Little things cannot phase me. A small car accident is a blessing. I get out of the car feeling like the luckiest person on the planet. I smile, and feel my body. Everything is healthy and whole. The only damage that occurred was to metal and paint. My day is too valuable to be upset. I find the blessings in all of life’s trials.

Questions of Reflection:

1. In the big picture, what is really important?
2. Do I find myself being discouraged and upset too easily?
3. How can I overcome this and start to see life from a larger perspective?
