The Power of a Goal

The formula for success

How do you create the life that you dream about having? You have to take action and create the life you want. There is a formula for success. One can create a new direction in life by taking action, establishing new habits, being persistence, setting goals, and never giving up. The video I have attached is an example of creating the life you want. I also titled it the power of a goal. Goals are powerful because they help you shape the future. In order to have a goal you dream about what you want the future to look like and then work towards this reality. If you are overweight and want to be thin you have to make this happen. The weight will not just magically disappear. You have to make changes. The formula can work like this. Set a goal, create new habits, be persistence over time, and eventually you will create the life you want. Here is what Steven Covey says about this "
Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character.

Good Habit

Take Action

Take ActionGood or bad habits shape our lives and create the future we either dream about or have nightmares about. The video shows how changing exercise and diet habits can take someone from overweight and out of shape to being thin and in shape. On the other hand the habit of over eating and not exercising can led to premature aging and obesity, if your life is not what you want you have the power to change it, no else, you must change it. Terry Fox wanted to change the world one step at a time. After battling cancer he was determined to help other people who had cancer. He started his marathon of hope. He didn't just dream about it, he took action.Read more here http://www.squidoo.com/terry-fox-story-and-motivation.

At some point if you want a change in your life you have to stop dreaming and take action. Tony Robbins sums this thought up like this "
A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.
This is very powerful. If I'm 100 pounds overweight and dream of running a marathon, it will never happen until I take some action towards that goal. If I have a job I dislike and want a better job I have to do something to change this besides complaining. If you take any basic physics class you will be taught that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Take a positive action and according to the laws of the universe there will be an equal reaction. The key is that you are taking action. "
"Success comes from taking the initiative and following up... persisting... What simple action could you take today to produce a new momentum toward success in your life? "Tony Robbins
 
Everytime I watch the video I get motivated to go run.
