Knowing the Outcome

Beginning with the End in mind is one of the keys to getting the results we want. Have you asked yourself what do you want? Have you given it some serious consideration and written down your goals? And with the goals you have, WHY do you want to reach them? Are the reasons driving you into action?

Many people, while having good intentions, aren't focused enough and don't clarify the things they wish to accomplish. Simply saying, "I want more money," is too vague. Also, people tend not to have strong enough reasons as to why they even want achieve some of the goals that sound good to them. Naturally, many people end up losing sight of their goals only after a short while.

I'm in the process of creating a VISION BOARD that my Cathy Savage Fitness coaches instructed us to do (actually 2, one for home and one for work on the North Slope in my room); having your own VISIONS is CRITICAL to getting what you want. The board will be a continual reminder of what outcomes I'm shooting for, and it will bring my goals to surface daily keeping them on the forefront.

Like most goal oriented folks, I am constantly looking forward and endeavor to improve not only my fitness levels but other areas in my life (career, family, financial, community, spiritual, etc). In an upcoming post, I'll share my January goals, mostly for me to keep on track!

I may miss my mark at times and become frustrated, but I remember the words of Winston Churchill, "Never, never, never give up."
