Some very succuessful people advocate writing and re-writing your goals every day. Others say it is good enough to read them once a day. The basic idea is to keep refreshing your goals in your mind, so you can think about them often.
If you dont employ such a practice,it is easy to lose sight of your goals. You get caught up in day -to-day activaties, and the most important long-term items fall by the wayside. Instead of leading your life, you merely react to whatever comes up.
When this happens to me, I start getting an empty, sinking feeling. A week goes by, and I feel like I didnt really get much done, even though I may have been very busy.Unimportant tasks consume my time and multiply, and my goals dont seem to be getting any closer. Have you ever felt that way?
On the other hand, when I am very focused on my goals and working on them actively, I usually feel great.I have more energy motivation, and I end my week with a major sense of accomplishment.
Some people think that motivation spawns action, but action also spawns motivation. Motivation is the feeling that comes from building and maintaining momentum. When you can see your goals getting closer day by day, it is very energzing.
