Inspiring Vision and Stretch Goals

Your vision performs both a directional and a motivational function. The purpose of your vision of a desirable future is to inspire, provide direction, and focus you on those things you could do now to bring that future state about.

Set stretch goals on your journey to your vision and your true self. Stretch goals energize and push you to work harder at meeting more difficult targets and to achieve more than if you had set an easier goal.

Take Action and Don’t Quit

“For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now?” advises James Allen, the author of As a Man Thinketh. Success is about persistent, consistent action. Action is the key. If you do not take action you will achieve nothing. So, set stretch goals and  take action.

Balance action and reflection – reflection of where you are now and action of pushing toward where you need to go.

Never forget that failure is just a step to your success. As NLP Technology of Achievement teaches us, “There is no such thing as failure, only feedback.”

Feedback

Feedback is the breakfast of champions and the foundation of success. It will help you learn and do better next time. Take notice of feedback in all its forms. Pay attention to detail.

If what you are doing is working, find out the ingredients and sequences, then repeat them to get more of it. If what you are doing isn't working, be inventive – do something different.
