8 – The Power of Goals

“A man or woman without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.
Each will drift and not drive. Each will end up on the beaches of despair, defeat and despondency.”
Zig Ziglar, “See You At The Top” 1974

What Are Goals - Why Have Them?

A goal is a target to aim for, something that when achieved will enhance your life in some way. It is a statement of positive intent, something you are absolutely
committed to, and something you work towards by taking daily action.

Can you imagine a football match that had no goalposts or nets, or a race with no finish line? Simplistic perhaps, but it wouldn’t work would it? Without the
goals or finish line, the whole purpose of the match or race is lost. Without goals, your life lacks purposeful direction – or at the very least it’s extremely
diluted.

Goals, quite simply are :

• What we want to BE
• What we want to HAVE
• What we want to DO

Which at this point in time:

• We are NOT
• We do not HAVE
• We are not DOING

The purpose of this final chapter is to bring together all that you have learned before, combined with your own experience and knowledge, to give you tools to
turbo-boost your goal setting ability, so that you may more purposefully attract what you want into your life that will enhance your experience of happiness.

A valuable starting point is to revisit the roles and areas section of the chapter on human needs. Look at where your shortfalls were. This should help you to
determine what you want to be, have and do that will bridge the gap from where you are now, to where you ideally would want to be. Page285
