Every successful person on the planet started out with a goal.

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

 Denis Waitley

I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do. - Leonardo da Vinci, Italian painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer

Coaching Thought:

Taking charge of your own learning is a part of taking charge of your life, which is an essential condition in becoming an integrated person. -Warren G Bennis

Coaching Thought:

Very often, our biggest stress in life is created by us wanting reality to be different to what it actually is.  We waste a lot of time and brain energy wishing things were different. This builds inner tension and leaves us little energy to deal with and face what's in front of us. Either we need to take action and change the situation or we need to face challenges, deal with them and move on.

Coaching Questions:

• How well do you deal with the day to day realities of your life?
• How does wanting things to be different affect you?
• How could you be easier with dealing what is?

Coaching Thought:

It's not enough to just have goals, as vitally important as they are.  We MUST work on them - daily! We must have a practical action plan, which must be implemented, refined and adapted as we need to, but it must be worked! We need to have a fixed goal with variable ways of getting there - be open to changing circumstances, and flexible in our means of achieving those goals.  'The great successful men of the world have used their imagination; they think ahead and create their mental picture in all its details, filling in here, adding a little there, altering this a bit and that a bit, but steadily building – steadily building.' ~ Robert Collier

Coaching Thought:

This magical universe is so faithful in waiting for us to get out of our own way. No matter how long you have gone astray, when you take action, the universe moves to support the act. Move in the direction of your goals and watch the magic flow. ~ Dr Steve Maraboli
