ESTABLISH A GOAL
What do you want? What are you looking for? Financial security, professional acknowledgement, spiritual advancement. Do you want to fit better socially, or become more successful? Establish the goal that's right for you.
Then turn that goal from a dream into a desire. You want to realize that goal, not just wish for it. Don't be tricked by your own procrastination especially if you want to achieve something artistic. The writer Thomas Wolfe wrote, "I had been sustained by that delightful illusion of success which we all have when we dream about the books we are going to write instead of actually doing them. Now I was face to face with it, and suddenly I realized that I had committed my life and my integrity so irrevocably to this course that I must conquer now or be destroyed.
Do you want the prestige of owing your own business? What business do you want to begin? Where are the opportunities for you? Talk to everyone in the business you want to join. Make friends in the literary or art societies in your area. Read books and articles about your field of endeavor. Think big and visualize success. Do you see yourself in a big house? Maybe you picture your artwork hanging in a gallery. Can you feel your book in the spirit and in your hands? How does it feel to be a person of success? Believe that you are; believe that it is in your grasp. That's what the others did, and that's how people make it to the top. WORK TOWARDS YOUR GOAL
You have to work to own the money you need. If you want to achieve your goal, then get down to the basics. Be precise. Exactly how much money do you want, and by what date? And exactly what are you going to do to earn that money? Be realistic, but give yourself short-term goals. Write it down. In six months or one year, you will have this amount of money. And repeat it until it becomes your one pointed goal. "The goal stands up, the keeper stand up to keep the goal," wrote A. E. Houseman. "To get profit without risk, experience without danger and reward without work, is as impossible as it is to live without being born," wrote A. P. Gouthey. Every person who has attained something worthwhile has worked for that goal. Which path is the way towards your goal? Do you need more education? Do you need more information or specialized knowledge? Do you need a few years of experience in your field of business? Maybe you need a teacher or mentor to help you practice. Cary Grand said, "I do believe that people can do practically anything they set out to do if they apply themselves diligently and learn."
"The message from the moon is that no problem need any longer be considered insoluble", wrote Norman Cousin. And you can attain anything that seems impossible. If you have a problem that needs to be solved sit calmly and consider it with a clear mind. Observe all the consequences of the actions both good and bad. Ponder the paths and actions and contemplate the core of the problem. The solution will appear. "Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds and to him who knocks it will be opened,"
Work today and earn the wages tomorrow.
