Book Cover & Preview Text
Of all the words in this book, and all the words I preach during motivational speeches, and talks with my children, the word, “goals”, is most repeated. That simple word, its meaning and presence in your life will give you direction – a positive vector towards success. You may have great ideas and dreams about what you want to do with your life. The problem is, with no direction or instruction you are like a ship at sea without a Captain, drifting with the tide, completely unable to command the ship in the direction of your choosing; that’s no way to go through life. Without goals as an adult, you may be asking yourself, “Where did I go wrong”? As an adolescent without goals, you are riding that ship straight for the shore of an abandoned island with only unhappiness on the horizon. As a child, every one of us had dreams of becoming someone noteworthy. Remember all the role-playing we did as children? I’ve watched my children pretend to be everything from an Astronaut to a professional race-car driver. Although we grow up and don’t pretend anymore, we certainly have lofty thoughts running through our minds of becoming someone renowned for greatness. I equate those thoughts, those dreams to goals. With a little ambition, you too can turn your dreams into a solid plan that will lead you down the road of success. Do you think your dreams are too unrealistic? Do you think your dreams can never be reached? There is a statement that is not only overused, but also misunderstood in our culture that talks to those two questions.
