If their present condition is the result of how they've always done things, does it make sense that continuing to do and think in the same ways will produce anything different than what is already and always produced?<BR/><BR/>A goal is simply a kind of project that exists in the future(goal = a projection) When it is clear and measurable and manageable it creates a "pull" and the more you do "right" the stronger the pull and the greater the momentum becomes...you don't reel in a goal like a fisherman reels in a fish...it's the other way around: the goal pulls you into the future. <BR/><BR/>Ultimately, a goal has to be a promise and a commitment...I want a Ferrari and I want to lose 20lbs mean absolutely nothing without honoring either as a promise to produce.<BR/><BR/>(Maybe you should consider changing your handle to "Tao Jones" when dispensing eastern philosophy?)<BR/><BR/>Randy H.Randy Hauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054371536437835929noreply@blogger.com
