Life Goals: My 101 Lifetime Goals list

(and why you should have one, too)

- Jack Canfield
Experts on the science of success know that the brain is a goal-seeking
organism. Whatever goal you give to your subconscious mind, it will
work night and day to achieve it.
However, one goal isnt good enough. Some goals take longer to achieve
than others and if you spend years working toward only one objective,
youre likely to get discouraged when it doesnt happen right away.
But when you have a long list of goals youd like to achieve, you have
more to strive for, and more opportunities to check those goals off your
list. And the rush you feel every time you check one of those goals off the
list will inspire you to accomplish even more of them!
What goals do YOU want to achieve in your lifetime?
Make a list of 101 goals youd like to achieve in your life. Be as specific
as possible. Include details such as when they will happen, where they will
happen, how much youll make, what model youll buy, what size it will
be, and so on.
Keep your goals somewhere you can review them often. You might want
to put them on a deck of 3x5 cards you shuffle through every morning,
on a poster or piece of paper you hang on the wall beside your computer,
or in a book you read each night before you fall asleep. By keeping them
top of mind, youll be more likely to make them a reality.
And every time you achieve one of your goals, check it off the list and
celebrate what youve managed to accomplish in your life!
Heres my list and the goals Ive achieved so far are in bold font.
For inspiration, check out the list of goals that I committed to achieving
before I die:
