I do not think there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature.
John D. Rockefeller
If there is one reason why people don’t reach their goal it is giving up too soon. This is one element of goal setting that most mentors leave out - perseverance, never giving up.
Our world has become a world of instant, ready made, and nano seconds. It is a world where it once was a challenge to travel around the globe in 80 days, now you can do it in 24 hours or so.
We have become creatures of the here and now. When we set our minds on reaching goals, too many think read more »
Flexibility exercises and stretching exercises are normally associated with physical exercise. But the same should be applied when creating and implementing goal setting.
But flexibility, stretching and bending is extremely useful also for the purpose of reaching goals. It can only be compared to the old story of the tree and the reed:
Who survives the tempest - the tree or the reed?
Who survivies the flood - the tree or the reed?
In any flexibility exercise you have to know when to be strong and when to bend. But always bear in mind that the flexibility is on the path, not the final goal. The focus must always stay on the final goal, those wants and desires the whole process began with.
My personal saying on flexibility: Blessed are the flexible, for they shall thrive.

Ever since the movie The Secret came out, workshops have sprung up on “Thoughts Create Reality”. It seems such a simplistic way. Just consider for a moment: How do we create new things? What is the process?
Everything you see around you started as a picture in the mind of somebody. That picture developed into a thought. Without the thought there would be nothing. Seeing and picturing is one vital step in achieving goals. It must be done every day continuously.
Envision - en=inside, vision=seeing. So we see inside of ourselves.
But seeing in the way we are talking about here is a little more. My mentor, Leslie Fieger, invented a word for this process: envisioneering. read more »
Before we can set goals, we must know what we want. Not yet in the fine details, but roughly, the grand vague idea that we carry in our head.
Yes we see some of the details, but they are often jumbled together.
In today’s element you will determine exactly what you want, which goals you are setting for yourself (even though at this stage they are not yet goals). You will decide what you want to achieve. Goals are wants with specifics - numbers, date of achievement, details and we will deal with how to determine this in a later lesson.
I have created a worksheet in pdf for you to use in the process of determining what you want. You can save it and print it out. When you work on it, follow my instructions. They are there to make the process easier.
Use the worksheet for specifying what you want. You should include all five spheres - mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and material. Pick 5-10 in each category. Once you have completed the process on the worksheet, you can write this into your journal.
You should also write the insights you came to about yourself in the journal, what feelings came up, if you felt resistance at any stage, where and what.
This process may take you out of your comfort zone. If that happens you are on the right track. Here’s an explanation on the comfort zone
