494. Goal Setting vs Wishful Thinking

There is a distinction between goal setting and wishful thinking. When you set an effective goal you are giving a direct command to your subconscious. It has quantity, measurability and a time frame attached to it. The setting of goals gets you past your perceived limitations and allows you to spot opportunities that were unseen up to now.

Indeed you should have a plan for 1, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 50 years hence. Commit yourself to the long term goal of being fnancially free. Set and achieve goals for your income, expenditure, profit and asset acquisition. Think in terms of your whole life and beyond that to your children and grandchildren's lifetimes.

126. Attitude Poem

One ship drives east and another drives west
With the self-same winds that blow

'Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales
That tells us the way to go.

Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate
As we voyage along through life

'Tis the set of the soul
That decides the goal
And not the calm or the strife.

- Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
