Goals That Inspire - Personal Development Power

Have you ever set goals? Did you achieve them? Probably not if you are reading this! Many times we set goals and fail to achieve them because of two pitfalls. These pitfalls are so subtle that many times they go unnoticed, yet they are the most destructive forces when it comes to your goals. Through one simple personal development power technique you can totally eliminate both these pitfalls and finally achieve your dreams.

Do you recall when you were a child and had all the wonderment that only a child has? When you were asked what you wanted to be when you grew up your answer would change from week to week depending on what had caught your imagination at the time. Never once did it enter your head that you could not be what you wanted. You believed that you could do anything, be anything and achieve anything.

As you grew older these beliefs were conditioned out of you by well-meaning parents and peers. You have literally been conditioned to believe that attaining your dreams is not possible. This mindset leads to the biggest pitfalls of setting and achieving goals - procrastination and giving-up!

When you were a child you were not afraid to dream big dreams. You gave no thought to how you were going to be an astronaut or how you could possibly learn to fly a multi-million dollar fighter jet - you just knew you could do it and knew it was going to happen! You were not afraid to think big. As you grew older and the world grew smaller for you, your view of your position in life and what was possible for you grew smaller also. Your dreams and aspirations became subdued to practicalities and what you believed was possible for you.

Now that you have reached adulthood you have bought into all the negative programming offered by others, the media and the education system and also formed some damaging negative views of your own based on some negative life experiences that you now think are common place. You have lost your ability to think big.

When Hannibal decided to take 80 elephants and a full army across the Alps to face the roman army, along mountain passes that were only wide enough for a single man to walk, his generals told him there was no way they could do it. Hannibal's response was swift and to the point, "We will find a way, or we will make one!"

Hannibal had a big dream. He wanted to defeat Rome and make his city of Carthage the strongest and only super-power of the ancient world. He had a big goal and a big dream. He wasn't about to let some mountains stop him!

In order to achieve your goals you must re-learn to think big!

Having a big dream that offers big rewards and life changing results when it is achieved is the only way to stay motivated enough to tackle any challenge or obstacle that stands in your way. With a big dream, which offers big results, you will never give-up nor allow the fear of failure to stop you from trying.

In fact you can never experience failure if you do not give-up. All you can gain is experience. When he was asked what it felt like to fail 9,999 times when trying to invent the electric light-bulb Edison replied," I haven't failed 9,999 times. I have just found 9,999 ways that don't work!"

Stop setting your goals based on practicality or what you think is expected of you. Dream big! With a big dream you will take big action and you will experience big results!
