Goal Setting For Success

Free goal setting tools are hard to come by. However, we're happy to provide this highly effective Goal Setting For Success tool for aspiring leaders.

Overcoming obstacles requires more of a shift in your mental state than any sort of physical change that one might assume as being necessary.

FEAR is the one key thing that gets in the way of our success.

One must understand that the typical human being will do almost anything to avoid the things that we perceive will give us pain. This is why so many are crippled by the fear of confrontation, fear of public speaking, fear of stepping out of their comfort zones to try new things and experience new surroundings.

When we are convinced that we run a high risk of feeling pain, we too often allow ourselves to become paralyzed. In many cases this state of paralysis sets in and we develop the habit of procrastination and avoidance.

Fear is a state that is no less tragic than being severely handicapped in a terrible accident. Fear can leave scars just as deep and just as crippling.

It's been said, "the coward dies a thousand deaths". Every time we allow ourselves to shrink from a challenge, to back away from doing what's necessary in order to make progress in our business or in our lives, we lose a little bit of ourselves that we can never fully get back.

In the next two sections of our free goal setting guide, we'll speak more directly on how to deal with fear of failure and also how to develop a habit of responding positively to fearful situations.

If one says "I can, I will, and I shall", it's the sort of faith that will pull a person through to the finish.

It's the sort of faith that pulled the man who spoke these words through incredible difficulties to a seat in the Capitol at Washington.

If ever there was a man who could put to shame husky young fellows who are everywhere crying about their lack of opportunity and complaining that they cannot overcome the obstacles that bar them from success, it is this man - William D. Upshaw, Member of Congress from Altanta, Georgia.

An accident at eighteen, while working on his father's farm, almost broke his back, and confined him to bed for seven years, suffering terrible pain. He slowly improved to the point he could be carried from his bed to a wheel chair, where he resumed his interrupted studies and work.

Writing for local newspapers and lecturing on stage and peddling a book he put together from a collection of his articles, in six years he made enough money to put himself through Mercer University. The University, upon graduation, employed him immediately and he swiftly rose to a top position.

Now compare this young man who was poor, crippled and suffering intense pain for years; yet marching straight on to victory, without ever grumbling or asking for help, to the multitudes of healthy men and women who simply lack the will and discipline to make things happen.

"I can and I will" is the slogan that has inspired armies and individuals since time began to triumph over repeated defeats and win their way to victory in the face of overwhelming odds.
