Climb and Summit Mt. Goals
Are you trying to reach a goal that feels like a large mountain to climb? Climbing a mountain is much easier than one would think. You start at the bottom, you progress towards base camp, you hit the middle of the mountain, and then you reach the summit. As climbers ascend, they come into contact with different elements such as thinner air and colder temperatures. If they climb the mountain too quickly, they will not be used to the new
environment, and they will be out of their comfort zone. The same principle holds true for those of you who are climbing your own mountains, and striving for goals. As you climb higher to reach your goals, you will experience a different feeling. You may feel anxious, like the mountaineer feels at the bottom of the mountain, knowing that his journey has only begun. You may feel overwhelmed like the mountaineer who is at base camp,
knowing that he has many steps to climb. You may feel excited, like the mountaineer who has just hit the middle of the mountain, knowing that the peak is within reach. You may feel proud of yourself, like the mountaineer who has reached the summit, knowing that he obtained his goal. So, How Can You Climb The Mountain To Your Goals? 1. Start at the bottom ? establish what your goals are. * Write down your goals. * Avoid generalizations such as I want to be happy or I want to be rich. WHAT would make you happy or WHAT would make you rich? * If you want to be happy, write down how you will accomplish this. Will you take up a new hobby? Will you go back to school? Will you spend more time with friends or family? The more specific you can be, the better your chances of achieving your goal. * If you want to make more money, list details such as wanting to increase your income by 10% next year. 2. Climb to Base Camp ? devise a plan to obtain your goals. * Set a specific time period in which you want to obtain your goals ? not just someday because someday leads to a town of somewhere. * If you want to earn a degree, knowing how long the program is and how many courses you need to take each semester is a great start. 3. Take steps to reach your goals * What steps would you take to earn a degree? * Perhaps taking one to two classes to begin with would give you a good idea of what to expect. * Knowing what courses are offered indicates if the program is for you or if the classes you would be taking would interest you. 4. Achieve your goals ? reward yourself!! * Once you've earned (or achieved) your goals, be good to yourself. You've earned it!!! * If there's something that you've always wanted to do or wanted to buy, do it now!! * Be proud that you achieved your goals. This is quite an accomplishment. Just like climbing a mountain, realizing goals will not happen in one day. But, you can realize them over time. Although your summit may seem too high to climb at the moment, know that starting will be the hard part, and reaching the summit will be your reward.

Whats the Next Action Step?
Nothing gets done unless an action is completed. Everything we do is an action step. Of course some are so routine they don't really need to be written down or remembered.

Drive to work. Do you have these tasks written down in your planner? Of course not. But they are still action tasks. You don't get cleaned until you wash up.

Housewife....Is That All You Are?
Scenario: You have taken care of the house, the kids, your husband and everything in between for years. You get a sense of happiness and joy taking care of your family, although you get tired sometimes. You husband works hard to provide for the family, so you think that it's the least that you can do. There is nothing wrong with feeling this way at all. Here's where the problem comes in: He works and works and works keeping very long hours. You never see him. He is on business trips very often and his luxurious secretary just happens to accompany him on every trip. Well you've suggested that you can take the trips with him to keep him company sometimes. He insists that the kids need you at home, you agree, you stay at home, and the conversation is over. Well, he is still working long hours and you start to express to him that you miss him being at home with you and the kids. He explains to you that he works to provide for you and the kids and that you are starting to nag him. You start to feel guilty and you stop what he calls nagging, because you don't want to upset him. Right? You are just happy to have a husband that provides for you and your wonderful kids.
