Goals
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
Taking Action
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
Breathing life into your Goals
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
Breaking through Fear
Coaching Thought:
Fear keeps us playing a small game, nervous to put our heads above the parapet, hiding in the safety of a lukewarm life. But people who spend all their time thinking about problems are in danger of imagining a false reality. Challenges are there to lift us to higher performance. We must do something, and stop wallowing in fearful thoughts. 'Thinking will not overcome fear, but action will!' W. Clement Stone.
