Setting and Achieving Goals
I recently opened up one of my old notebook that I had used for writing down my goals last year. The notebook contains many random stuff, ideas, drawings, doodles, notes and usernames for emails, etc. I was flipping through this one because it did not have many pages in it and found a page where I set down some serious goals. Goals that I thought seemed to look IMPOSSIBLE or just really BIG for me back then. Surprisingly I actually got most of the goals I set on that page or have come very close to reaching them. I actually don’t remember writing the goals down but I do remember that I wanted to write down my most wanted or biggest goals first. Take a look at the picture I took of that page in the notebook:
1. $10,000 in passive income per month. Check.
2. Corvette, Red. I got enough money for it but haven’t looked at cars lately. I’ll get one soon enough.
3. Alienware ALX. Got an Alienware 7500 instead.
4. CAL-M for WoP Team. This was a goal I had to get my Counter-Strike Source Team from CAL-Open to CAL-Main. Done.
5. 1000 Sales of WoP Book/Guide. Done. We sold our 1000th book back in December.
6. Choice to QUIT job without caring about money. Done. My twin and I now have a choice. We can work or not work in our company.
This is actually not the first time I flipped through a notebook I used to keep goals and ideas down and found out my goals were actually manifested into reality. I started writing down all my goals one day when I woke up. It was actually at work that I picked up the notebook that all new employees at our company received and started writing down random stuff, ideas, goals, etc. I later read books and heard tapes talking about the magic in this seemingly haphazard, whimsical, and even weak or boring approach to getting things down or starting point to achieving something you want in life. I strongly suggest you try this out no matter how crazy it may seem. Also note that you should not care about the size of the goal you set because it is just big in your head. It may appear to be small or weak for others. So if you want to get anything you wish for then write it down. Just be a kid again and ask for anything you want because LIFE will give it to you if you just ask for it. That’s just my personal opinion.
wow great post, I made one of them lists ages ago but I can’t seem to find it. I have acheived some of the goals I set out such as setting up a business and getting a good job.
Maybe you should post a picture/list of your new goals for next year and this will provide more motivation for you to acheive them.
I write goals down quite often because its on the same notebook I use to keep ideas and notes one. I often forget which ones have actually been fullfilled. I have about 3 notebooks filled with this stuff.
