Overcoming

I am sure that many of you have reached places in your life where the goals that you have set seem too difficult or out of reach.  The goal may be to lose the last 10lbs that you gained after your last baby. Or to lose weight that has just stuck around for way to long. Maybe the goal is to exercise 3 days a week no matter what, or to run in a marathon. No matter how big or small the goal is its important to set a date and work towards accomplishing it. But the most important part of the goal is to finish what you told yourself you would do. Keep your word to yourself, and watch your self image rise to new heights.

Most people fail because they quit to soon. Don't let that be you.
"Actions are the only way to bridge plans and goals with accomplishment. Nothing happens until you do something to make it happen-every day. Are you action, or B.T.N.A ( big talk, no action)." Jeffery Gitomer

In his book The Little Red Book of Selling  Jeffery Gitomer talks about goals and what it takes to succeed.

" Failure actually only occurs when you decide to quit. Few simple things you can do to avoid getting to the quit stage are:

  1. Look at failure as an event, not a person.
  2. List possible opportunities.
  3. Ask yourself what have I learned? And try again.
  4. Don't mope around with other failures-go find successful people and hang around them.
I hope that some of these thoughts have encouraged you to never quit. Don't give up on your goals and remember, " When something bad happens( or you miss a goal) you have 3 choices, you can either let it define you, let it destroy you or let it strengthen you. " - Unknown
