“The second step to achieving your goals in the New Year involves action and this is where many people run off track. The life we are living and have known to this point is comfortable and easy. Therefore we find it hard to establish new habits and routines even if we know they will bring us a better life. Our old belief system drags us back into the familiar. It is hard to overcome and we often experience small setbacks. This is the time to go back and look at your goals. Read your goal statement repeatedly and remind yourself of what you want and why.” PeopleIfsKnowsWantYearsLooksHardRunningActionBeliefEasyGoalKnownStepsAchieveHabitComfortableOvercomingTrackWhat You WantStatementsFamiliarDragNew YearBetter LifeSetbackBelief SystemsAchieving Your GoalsNew Habits Author:Bob Proctor

Opinions must be changed, one at a time if necessary, but if there are those who wish to persist in religious belief, they should certainly be allowed to do so.” IfsShouldLastsLawPurposeBeliefForceWishReligiousOpinionGroupsAtheismChangedComfortableNotionPositive AtheismPersistHierarchyRuthlessBrutesHeresyReligious BeliefDivergentSuppressionOutlawBrute Force Author:S.
