Mastering The Art Of Success

(^) Mastering the Art of Success
I think it’s very important that people set goals because what that
does is allow you to focus your energy. It helps you to put together a
game plan and a strategy and an agenda for your life. If you don’t have
an agenda for your life, then you’re going to be a part of somebody
else’s agenda; therefore, y ou want to set some goals. There’s a quote I
love very much that says, “People who aim at nothing in life usually hit
nothing dead on the head.”

Oh, my.

Yes, so you want to have some goals you are setting in each area of
your life. You want to monitor those goals after you put together a plan
of action to achieve those goals. Break those goals down into
manageable increments: long-range and short-range goals, three-
month goals, thirty-day goals, and weekly goals. You should have daily
tasks and activities you engage in that will move you in the direction of
your goals. Dr. Robert H. Schuller said something that is true, “By the
yard it’s hard, but inch by inch anything is a cinch.”
As you begin to look at the big picture and come back to where you
are right now, looking at the completed big picture of where you want
to go, then you can begin to put together a strategy of things and
activities you n eed to do each day to move you in the direction of those
goals. As y ou get closer to those goals you have set for yourself in the
various areas of your life—your physical life, your emotional life, your
spiritual life, your financial life—then you can begin to push the goals
back. Continue to stretch—continue to push yourself—and reach
fa rther.

A few years ago you had a nationally syndicated television talk show.
It’s next to impossible to get a show of that nature on the air. Tell us
the circumstances that helped to get your show on the air.
