Law 4 To reach any Significant Goal you must leave your Comfort Zone

Monday, April 25, 2011

The main idea here is this...The gap between your governing values and your daily activities are measurable "goals".
 

"Achieving any goal means leaving the familiar and venturing into a new area. Many people don’t like to leave their present comfort zones, and therefore never set goals. By failing to set goals, they also fail to ever make any meaningful progress."



2 kinds of goals

Long-range goals describe what you want to accomplish.

Intermediate goals and daily tasks break it down into how to
actually do it.

Effective goals are:
Specific - stating exactly what is to be accomplished.
Measurable - with dates and ways to show progress.
Action-Oriented - specifying things to be done.
Realistic - within reach if you stretch and work hard.
Timely -achievable within a reasonable period of time.


Most people find it helpful to set goals in each of the following
areas
:

- Physical well-being
- Family/Spouse
- Spiritual/Humanitarian
- Financial
- Company/Career
- Company/Strategic
- Community/Political
- Education/Personal Development



Get out a Piece of Paper and pen and WRITE DOWN your goals!

3 common obstacles to leaving your comfort zone:
1. Peer pressure.
"You may be afraid of what your friends, family or work associates will think, and therefore you try and live in harmony with their values rather than following your inner urges."

2. Walls.
"Sometimes you may feel walled in by past mistakes or circumstances. You may feel that circumstances beyond your control make it impossible to set out in a new direction. Remember: It really doesn’t matter what other people think."

3. Fear of Change.
"Some people would much rather live with a familiar problem than try to change and risk coming into contact with a new and unfamiliar problem. In the final analysis, these fears should never stand in the way
of setting goals which will enable you to follow your dreams. In most situations, present failure is not the end of the world, and you have the opportunity to come back again next time smarter and better prepared to succeed."

Nothing can stop a determined soul.

So what is stopping you from reaching your goals??
