The steps towards effecting positive, permanent change are simple – that is not to say it’s easy; it requires consistent daily work. Left unattended, the human
mind works within your own personal “comfort zone”, and unless you train it through the habit of thought, it will continue to feed back what it always has –
and steer your life in the direction it has always gone.

“If you keep on thinking the same things in the same way, you’ll keep on getting the same results.”

Feed your mind with the idea that what you desire already exists, and it will heighten your awareness to opportunities around you that are consistent with your
goals. Attach emotion to the thoughts of desire and you will amplify those vibrational thoughts of attractive energy to bring about your desires that much faster.
Attraction into your life of circumstances, ideas, events and people that harmonise with your most dominant thoughts and desires then comes naturally.
Remember :

“You become what you think about most of the time”.

Types of goals

So, we’ve established what goals are and why it’s important to have them – it’s also important to have different types of goals. Why? Quite simply because we
have different areas of our lives to balance, and some journeys take longer than others.

For example, clearing the clutter in your living room is a goal that should take no more than a few days (one hopes!), whereas leaving law school with a goal
to becoming a fully-fledged High Court barrister or Queens Counsel, will take a number of years.

The best way to split goals is :

• Short term (1-3 months)
• Medium term (3 months to 1 year)
• Long term (1 – 3 years)

That’s not to say that any goal which takes longer than three years is not to be considered – it is. You need to really think about your long term vision for your
future, because one day you’ll arrive there and unless you are working on shaping your future right now, those goals and visions will always remain somewhere
out in the distance. These goals need to be ‘chunked down’ into time frames starting from today.

Goals into plans of action

Working backwards from your year three target, establish what needs to be done in year 3, then year 2, then this year. From your list of what needs to be Page287
achieved this year, break it down into what needs to be done in the fourth quarter, the third quarter, the second quarter, and then in the next three months.
