If you want to achieve your goals get a vision
Something that Matt Morris wrote in a recent edition of the Success University newsletter about “goals” and “vision” really struck me the other day.Here’s what he said: “We all know what a goal is, but vision is a topic of confusion for many. To put it in the simplest of terms, your vision is how you see yourself. You can set goals all day long, but if you cannot truly see yourself achieving them, your goals will never be realized. To accomplish a goal, you must truly expect to achieve it.” The key word is “see”. How many of us fail to achieve goals because we don’t give them real substance in the subconscious by visualizing them taking place? I still have pages of old diaries full of “year goals” that were never achieved, year in and year out. They were worthy enough goals, but they lacked any deep vision of success. The problem with setting your goals without first seeing your vision is that you are failing to appeal to your subconscious mind with pictures that compel. If you do not appeal to your subconscious with a clear picture it is unlikely that your life will change. As anybody who knows Matt Morris will tell you, he grew up amidst poverty and low expectations.
