All successful people, men and women, are big dreamers. They
imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then
they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal, or
purpose. - Brian Tracy
We have been working on building a strong foundation of personal
skill you need to get unstuck and oving forward in life! "opefully,
you have anaged to uncover any liiting beliefs, and have been
working to release any negativity which could prevent you fro
eeting your goals! #n this weeks lesson # want you to ake sure
the goal$s% you have already set for yourself are actually the goals
you really want to achieve!
#n order for you to achieve the life you desire, it&s critical that you
create goals which align with who you truly are and what your values
are! 'oeties, we only think we want soething because it
sounded like a good idea at the tie, and now it no longer fts our life
vision! (ossibly you never really wanted it at all! )r aybe, you *ust
went along with soeone&s vision of what they thought you should do
or becoe! There are a nuber of reasons a goal ay not be working
for your beneft!
Life is constantly changing and circustances can often arise which
ake us feel that we have to hurry to accoplish soething!
+eeber, there is no reason to rush or hurry towards anything!

the stage for disappointent and failure! ,ou owe it to yourself to
take a big step back and reevaluate your goals to ensure they are
relevant for you now at your current stage in life!

what you really want, and also why you believe you want it!
#dentifying why you want soething will ensure you are truly
