“To experience the satisfaction and enjoyment of success in life, a definitive goal is essential. Many people fail at this vital point. The goal must be definite and specific, not in any sense vague or fuzzy. And to prove attainable, its image needs to be sharpened and resharpened continually, so that it stands out vividly in your thoughts. You must know, at all times, precisely and for certain what it is you want to accomplish and achieve. Strong and organized purposefulness toward a definite objective will focus your powers into a strong motivation in attainment of your goal.” PeopleKnowsWantNeedsMotivationCertainStrongGoalFocusFailingAchieveProveEssentialsSatisfactionAccomplishObjectivesAll TimeEnjoymentOrganizedSuccess In LifeDefiniteVagueStanding OutAttainmentFuzzyPurposefulness Book:Norman Vincent Peale's treasury of courage and confidence Source: Norman Vincent Peale's treasury of courage and confidence

“Set reasonable goals; not something vague and unrealistic like "I want to be super-model skinny." I always had visions of very thin actresses in my mind when I was at the gym and it seemed so unattainable that I would quit any health regimen before it even got off the ground. But when I changed my mindset to focusing on making the healthiest choices possible for myself, it was a lot more realistic, more attainable, and then the results were visible.” WantMindChoicesGoalResultsVisionChangedModelsMindsetActressesQuittingVisibleReasonableGymRealisticVagueSkinnyUnattainable Author:Alison Sweeney
