Eyes on the Prize

"A study conducted at Yale University found that only 3% of the students had written goals. Twenty years later, those 3% were worth more financially than the other 97% combined." ~ Course notes Module 2 on Goals

What are your goals and what do you do with them? Writing goals down help to keep you accountable. They also help someone like me remember that I had such goals. I came across a list of goals I had made in September and was glad to see that many of them had been accomplished already and I could get on with the remaining ones that had slipped out of the forefront of my brain.

I have been thinking about goals lately as I push into my final weeks of losing 10 pounds before I head off to my winter sun destination. I am not failing miserably at some of the outcomes but I am not losing much weight. I think I need to refine my goals and write them down. With Lent's advent, I can perhaps reach them by giving up some habits and taking on new ones. I have 40 days to go for my beach body!

What goals are you trying to accomplish? Write them down in specific, simple language and ensure that you can track their progress. Put them within reasonable sight and go for them. Believe in the possibilities of what they mean in your life. Keep your eyes on the prize.

Peace,

Suzanne
