Answering Question, "Where Do I Start?" - Goals

In a world that is ever changing and the pace seems to be getting faster each moment, one can easily get lost or even buried in the grind and shuffle.

So what is the secret to moving forward and to find yourself one day at your desired destination? Some will say that it is goals that will do the trick, others are quick to point out a 7-step process and there are even those who say just wing it because you can't do anything about your destiny anyway.

I tend to agree with the goals, though this is no secret, by setting goals or making a plan and then working it will get you there faster. At least you will know you are there when you arrive.

I came across this from an old movie and found it to be a good point of reference to the question, "where do I start?". After you read it, read it again and post your thoughts.

Enjoy...Ocha

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

Today: It is a moment of light surrounded on all sides by darkness and oblivion. In the entire history of the universe, let alone in your own history, there has never been another just like it and there will never be another just like it again. It is the point to which all your yesterdays have been leading since the hour of your birth. It is the point from which all your tomorrows will proceed until the hour of your death.

All other days have either disappeared into darkness and oblivion or not yet emerged from it. Today is the only day there is.

Success Is To Go Where The People Are

Somebody needs you. Go find them. Move toward those who need you. Write a note to a dear friend. Keep in touch with your customers. Get closer to your family members. You will not succeed in life unless you are connected to people.

Success involves people. The people you need to succeed may not always come to you, you may have to go to them. This is the way it is in most cases. Why do you think the newspapers have a stand or paper machine on every corner or in every store? They understand that you have to go where the people are in order to succeed.

The adage that says "you will never possess what you are unwilling to pursue" is so true. You have to reach out, you must go to where the people are and reach them. Leave your comfort zone and walk among unchartered ground. That is where you will find the success for which you are searching.

Think of it this way. If you are a fisherman you would not fish for the trophy catch in stagnated water. You would need to go to where there is fresh water. That's where the fish are.

Success always begins somewhere.

Success always begins at some moment.

Success always begins with someone.

You must go where the people are.

Success is yours. Go get it.
