MONEY! Just about every single thing in our lives these days revolves around money in some way.
- Paying bills
- Paying rent or mortgage
- School supplies
- Catching up on bills
- Credit card payments (you know, those things you THOUGHT would be a life saver)
- Business expenses
It all just keeps adding up more and more.
And on top of that, there are also the things in life we all want for ourselves.
- Cars
- Houses
- Movies
- Boats
- Vacations
All based on money (with no money, you got dimp).
Well, let’s just take a few seconds and look back on life for a minute.
I bet if you look back you’ll see that just about every good time and bad time in your life – revolved around money in some way.
Think about it. Aside from when your kids were born and getting married or any of that stuff, money was a major factor in the good and bad times (and kids and weddings involve money to – but…).
Well, I think it’s high time we all sit back – take a deep breath and remind ourselves how lucky we really are – with or WITHOUT money being involved.
Ask yourself these few questions…
- Do you have your health as a good thing in life?
- Are you married or with someone special?
- Do you have beautiful kids
- Do you like what you do for a living
- Do you spend time with your family
- Does your family have a good, stable roof over their heads
- Is there food on the table every night
- Are your bills paid for the most part at the end of the month
- Do you still have an income coming in
Well, if you said “yes” to 3 or more of the things above – you have a GREAT life and something hundreds of thousands of people all over the world would love to have.
Try to remember how lucky you are to have what you do have now, and how thousands don’t even have that.
Try and remember that there are people eating out of trash cans and kids who haven’t bathed in weeks because they have no where to take a bath.
Try and remember all of these things and how LUCKY you are to have what is in your life now, because no matter what you get in life, until you’re happy with YOU and what’s around you – you will never be happy at all – money or not!
Goal setting is something that every single program, course and website that discusses personal development covers.
If you think about it – a LOT of the courses out there are nothing more than fluffed up info products on goal setting in some way.
Well, while I was searching the web today I came across this very detailed blog post on ‘Goal Setting‘ and I wanted to share it with you here so you can get a straight forward view of how it can be done to see those goals achieved.
Here’s some of what the blog post writer has to say…
Knowing how to write a goal without knowing how to set it up and implement it, is a bit like knowing how to make the worlds greatest hamburger without access to any utensils, a kitchen or even a cow. It may sound great in theory, but long-term culinary satisfaction is doubtful.

I personally think goal setting is an essential part of personal growth and it’s something you need to master in sorts to see any forward motion.
Anyway, check out the post I linked to above, read about the goal setting system there and start achieving your goals!
