People with Goals and Dreams

People with dreams and goals succeed because of one primary reason: They know where they're going. In any game, you must determine what winning means to you -- you gotta define success and you also have to determine what it will take to win.

Think about it: a marathon runner has to know where the finish line is and the path to get there to win the race. A runner must develop a winning strategy that includes proper training, nutrition, hydration, pace setting and overcoming race-day obstacles. A runner must also know when to attempt to overtake the other competitors to get in a position to win. Skiers must know where the finish line is and how fast they need to get there to develop a strategy for winning the race. Hockey players have to know where the goal is before they can navigate around their opponents, anticipate the other players' moves and get the puck past the goalie.

The same is true for you. You gotta know where you want to go and have a plan or strategy for how to get there. Otherwise, you could end up almost anywhere. The challenge for each of us is defining our destination. Each of us will have our own distinct definition of winning because we are unique in our individual dreams and aspirations.

Knowing your destination makes the journey possible. This is how you measure results, keep score and determine whether you win the game. So, if you don't have any dreams or goals, how will you know if you are succeeding?

Bottom line...set a target for what you really want and take massive action each and every day. Eventually you'll achieve the results you desire.

Re: Quote of the Day - Ted Turner Re: Quote of the Day - Ted Turner - Hi Evan, I mentioned on another thread that I'm reading Saint Joan of Arc by Vita Sackville West. I think Joan of Arc set some pretty high goals, for an unknown peasant girl from an unimportant village in the middle of nowhere much... Goals: 1. Go and see the Dauphin! 2. Help him relieve the siege of Orleans!! 3. To lead the Dauphin to his coronation at Rheims!!! The first time she tried to put this plan into action, by seeking permission from her local feudal lord to travel, he told her minder to "reduceret eam ad domum sui patris et daret ei alapas" which is to say, "take her home to her father and give her a smacking". The rest is history!
