Everyday that you wake up &#8211; there are no limits to what you can do, how you can grow, and what you can experience. The only limits you have are in your mind.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve got it in you to succeed. Your success is not dependent on whatever you experienced yesterday or even what you are experiencing at this moment.  Make a decision of what you want your life to be, move in that direction, and stick with it.  Just make up your mind and stick with it.</p>
<p>You weren&#8217;t born with any limits on your powers or any limits to what you can achieve. </p>
<p>At any moment, you have more possibilities than you can act upon.  When you start to Imagine your possibilities, your vision expands.</p>
<p>If you think you can, you can.<br />
If you think you can&#8217;t, you can&#8217;t.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s your choice!</p>

<p>There is a saying that goes that without a vision the people perish and that is oh so true. If you do not have a vision for your life&#8230;a reason that you wake up each and every morning and a burning desire to achieve something &#8211; then your spirit will suffer. We are all born with a special purpose and having a vision gives us the road map to help navigate our life&#8217;s decisions. If you are presented with a choice that does not line up with your vision&#8230;you need to let it go!</p>

		<description><![CDATA["Most People Spend More time planning for their Christmas vacation, then mapping out their life"- Buck Reed
Have you planned out the rest of your life? Do you know where you will be 20 years from now, 5 years from now, or even 1 year from now? If you are not mapping out a plan and taking consistent action to creating the life that you want, you will find yourself stuck with no focus or direction. When you have no focus or direction you basically end up where ever the tide leads you and you live your life living for the weekends for 40 years, hoping you don't get laid off and retiring with a gold watch and a turkey. DON'T LET THIS BE YOU!]]></description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://jenniferdcarroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/golsetting.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-353" title="goalsetting" src="http://jenniferdcarroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/golsetting.jpg" alt="" width="111" height="96" /></a></p>
<p>The adage ‘Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die’ is very relatable to people’s quest for success. There is no man or woman in the world who does not want to succeed in whatever they do, but only a few are ready to put in what it takes.</p>
<p>For over a century now, successful people have been sharing their secrets in the form of books, tapes, videos, and seminars, and one thing which is common to them all is the setting of a goal. We won’t find a person who became successful by accident. Everyone who’s achieved something substantial in his life would have set a goal, and that goal motivates us during tough times.</p>
<p>Another thing which all experts unanimously agree is that verbal goals are of not much use. A real goal will have to written down, and it has to be SMART</p>
<p>S – Specific</p>
<p>M – Measurable</p>
<p>A – Achievable</p>
<p>R – Realistic, and</p>
<p>T – Time Bound</p>
<p>Unless a goal is written down with these parameters – including a date by when the goal will become a reality – and stuck at a prominent place, there is very little chance of seeing it translate into reality. Whether it is Napoleon Hill or Robert Schuller, Norman Vincent Peale or Shiv Khera, they all agree that an unwritten goal has very little chance of being realized. Look up the internet or head down to your local bookstore and you’ll see tons of examples of people who attribute their success to written goals.</p>
<p>It is quite simple really. When we write something down, we endorse it in our handwriting. That is an added level of commitment. Then we put it up at a prominent place at home or the office, and each time we see it, we reinforce that commitment we made to ourselves of achieving it.</p>
<p>Enough reasons to get a pen and paper out?</p>
<p>Like Yogi Berra famously quoted, ‘If you don’t know where you’re going, you might not get there’!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Without a sense of urgency,dersire loses its value. <strong><br />
Jim Rohn</strong><a href="http://www.achievementlibrary.com/jim-rohn.htm"> </a></p>
<p>Have you ever started off really passionate and excited about something and then as time wore off your excitement and motivation slowly but surely faded away?  It&#8217;s kind of like when you make that yearly new years resolution to lose some weight.  You go to the gym for a few weeks, eat a couple of salads and then because of a lack of urgency in your task you stop and go back to your old habits.</p>
<p>Have you ever heard the saying that &#8216;Old Habits Die Hard?&#8217; If that is indeed the case, how do you create a sense of urgency?  You create a sense of urgency by having specific goals that are specific, written down and have time lines.  Using your business as an example if you would like to make a certain amount of money this year, you could do this by breaking it down to how many sales that you need to get per day in order to achieve your goal.  When you monitor your goal on a daily basis, it will be much easier for you to determine if you are on track and also in turn make the necessary adjustments to make sure that you stay on track.</p>
<p>Now go out there and get busy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>“<a href="http://thinkexist.com/quotation/we_are_what_we_repeatedly_do-excellence_then-is/12820.html">We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a <strong>habit</strong>.</a>”</span></p>
<p><span>-Aristotle<br />
</span></p>
<p>So many of us think that there is some magic potion that successful people drink that the rest of us aren&#8217;t have privy to.  We think that some how along the line, successful people had more advantage than us, are smarter than us, got lucky, or just magically appeared at the level that they are at.</p>
<p>Success is not magical.  <strong>It is the culmination of doing little things every day that bring you closer to your goal. </strong>That&#8217;s it.</p>
<p>If you truly want success in your life, look at the things that you are doing on a daily basis and analyze if they are leading you closer to your goals.</p>
<p>What are  your daily habits?</p>
