Achieving Goals

There is a cause to every effect. Once you know what effect you want to produce, figure out what cause or causes produce that effect. In other words, there is a formula or formulas that can be used to get you what you want. First think about what you want, then study what actions you need to take in order for you to manifest what you want. You have to make sure you think about what you want first; if you think about how to achieve what you want before you think about what you want, then you’ll give up, because you will not have a solid vision with which to guide your thinking. Arnold Schwarzenegger said, “What you do is create a vision of who you want to be, and then live into that picture, as if it were already true.” You need a target to aim for. Your vision, or dream, or desired outcome—is your target. Keep that target in your mind at all times, and you will hit it. But most people don’t spend enough time determining what target they want to hit. They don’t have a target, really. Or they think the target they want to hit is too difficult to hit. They give up too easily.
