Every single day we set attempt to set goals for ourselves, special those involved in sports. Let's take a look at what you're up against. It’s crucial that as you prepare to actually set your goals that you understand what we’re up against. I quote from Keith Shaw:
“There are numerous studies that prove the value of writing down and keep track of your thoughts and goals. A research study sponsored by the Ford Foundation discovered that:
- 23 percent of the population has no idea what they want from life, and as a result, they do not have much.
- 67 percent of the population has a general idea of what they want, but they do not have any plans for how to get it.
- Only 10 percent of the population has specific, well-defined goals, but even then, seven out of the ten of those people reach their goals only half the time.
- The top 3 percent, however, achieved their goals 89 percent of the time.
Wow, an astonishing 90 percent of the population has no ideas or plans for what they want out of life! Without a solid life plan to take a hold of, these "drifters" will not have direction or the peace of mind to maximize their lives.
When you have no goals and plans in your life, you fall victim to petty worries, stress, anxiety, fears, troubles, and self-pity. You become just like the proverbial driftwood cast about by the crashing waves on the sea. All of these are indications of a lack of strength in your life, which leads to failure, unhappiness, and loss. Without strength, you cannot persevere.”
Like I mentioned earlier, "the purpose of understanding this research is that you have to decide whether or not you are ready and willing to commitment 100%."
“There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results. (Author Unknown”)
