GOALS…ACHIEVABLE, ATTAINABLE!!!!!!!


From an article written by Hilton Johnson, Top 10 Ideas for Setting and Achieving Goals

1. Make a list of your values – What’s really important to you?

2. Begin with the end in mind – Create a clear image in your mind of what you want the achievement of your goal to look like when it is done. How would you have to act on a day-to-day basis to achieve your goal(s) and begin to act that way.

3. Project yourself into the future – You become what you think. Whatever thoughts dominate your mind most of the time are what you become. Pretend that you already have your goal(s). Begin to walk, talk and act as though you are already experiencing the success you seek. Then, those things will come to you naturally through the power of the subconscious mind.

4. Write down ten things you want this year – By making a list of the things that are important to you, you begin to create images in your mind. It’s been said that your mind will actually create chaos if necessary to make images become a reality. Because of this, the list of ten things will probably result in you achieving at least eight of them within the year.

5. Create your story board – Get a piece of poster board and attach to a wall in your office or home where you will see it often. As you go through magazines, brochures, etc. and you see the pictures of the things you want, cut them out and glue them to your story board. In other words, make yourself a collage of the goals that excite you…knowing full well that as you look at them everyday, they will soon be yours.

6. The three most important things – Decide on three things that you want to achieve before you die.. Then work backwards listing three things you want in the next twenty years, ten years, five years, this year, this month, this week and finally, the three most important things you want to accomplish today.

7. Ask yourself good questions – As you think about your goals, instead of WISHING for them to come true, ask yourself HOW and WHAT CAN YOU DO to make them come true. The subconscious mind will respond to your questions far greater than just making statements or making wishes.

8. Focus on one project at a time – One of the greatest mistakes people make in setting goals is trying to work on too many things at one time. There is tremendous power in giving laser beam focused attention to just one idea, one project or one objective at a time.

9. Write out an “Ideal Scenario” – Pretend you are a newspaper reporter that has just finished an interview about the outstanding success that you’ve achieved and the article is now in the newspaper. How would it read? What would be the headline? Write the article yourself, projecting yourself into the future as though it had already happened. Describe the activities of your daily routine now that are very successful.

10. Pray and meditate – As you get into bed each evening, think about your goal before you drop off to sleep. Get a very clear colorful image in your mind of seeing yourself doing the things you’ll be doing after you’ve reached your major goal. (Remember to include your values). And then begin to ask and demand (I know you can ask but can you demand God, is my question? - Kenya ) for these things through meditation and pray.


I hope this helps in setting and achieving your goals and dreams. Remember, with God all things are possible!!!

What are your Goals???

GOALS – ACHIEVABLE, ATTAINABLE!!!

Over the past two years, I have been coming across a lot of articles and writings about putting your goals in writing. Some say to write down your goals and the steps to be taken to achieve your goals. Others say to just write them down and don’t worry about how you are going to achieve them but just keep reviewing your goals and “you will become more conscious to what you want to achieve and you will take ACTION.” Then there are the ones who say to write down your five year goals, one year goals, six month goals and three month goals. Monthly goals, weekly goals and daily goals.

Well I’ve done them all. The five/four year goals, yearly goals, six month and three month goals and monthly goals. And I try to review my list (s) of goals/desires/wishes every week.

Out of the 30 goals that I wanted to achieve and/or do for the year 2009, so far I have only reached 5!!! I’ve starting losing weight, exercising 3-5 times per week, eating healthier, get togethers with friends, and increased my volunteering. Here are the 25 I have yet to reach:
7 night 8 day vacation @ Walt Disney World at the Swan Hotel
a shopping tour to Italy in November 2009
Operating LKG Designs Inc (my jewelry design firm) successfully
Become debt-free!!!
Increase savings account, house fund and fun fund
Lunch or dinner at Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill restaurant
3 spa days
lunch or dinner at the Legal Seafood restaurant
attend social/business networking meetups
explore NYC- Soho, Harlem, Greenwich Village
a Movado watch – Esperanza style
a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes
a trip to Seattle to visit family
a black EPI leather Louis Vuitton Alma handbag
Monthly breakfast. Lunch and/or dinner with my Mommy
Get togethers with certain family and family acquaintances
A ferry ride to Fire Island
A trip on the Circle Line around Manhattan and on the Beast jetboat around Manhattan
Have my hair done every four weeks
Have manicure/pedicure every two weeks
A trip to Charlotte, NC
A gemology course
A beading course
To see The Lion King on Broadway


In addition, I have yet to find a fulltime position as a Personal Assistant/Concierge at my desired salary with bonus and benefits!!!
I started getting frustrated and disappointed that I have only reached five of these goals and because the ones that I wanted to happen at a certain time didn’t happen. Then I realized that the year is not over yet and that they can still happen. I have approximately two and a half months left. With God All Things Are Possible!!!

My Wish List!!!

A few weeks ago, I read a book by Debra Macomber titled Twenty Wishes. After reading this book I decided to write down twenty wishes of my own of things that I desire to happen and/or obtain in my life in the near future. I've already written down my goals for 2009 (some will go on my goals list for 2010) but I thought that making a list of twenty wishes would be more of what's in my heart. Some things are materialistic and some are dealing with personal relationships, going on trips, etc. So with that said, I am starting with this post of some things on my twenty wishes list. Who knows...maybe you'll be a part of making it happen!?!

One of my twenty wishes....A Louis Vuitton black Epi Leather Alma handbag!!!
