"It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of
life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The
tragedy lies in having no goal to reach." --

"The indispensable first step to getting the
things you want out of life is this: decide what
you want." -- Ben Stein
"You have to decide what your highest priorities
are and have the courage -- pleasantly,
smilingly, nonapologetically -- to say 'no' to
other things. And the way you do that is by
having a bigger 'yes' burning inside." --
Stephen Covey
"Always have a plan, and believe in it. Nothing
happens by accident." -- Chuck Knox
"The only thing that stands between a man and
what he wants from life is often merely the will
to try it and the faith to believe that it is
possible." -- Richard DeVos
"If you don't know where you are going, you
might wind up someplace else."

"Most people are so busy knocking themselves
out trying to do everything they think they
should do, they never get around to do what
they want to do." -- Kathleen Winsor
What can you do today that will bring you
meaning and fulfillment?
How can you be today that will feel joyful
and deeply satisfying?
Here are some tips to support you in making
each day count:
1. Know specifically what you want for your
life. Having goals in mind helps us avoid
the trap of busyness and get right down to
business.
2. Ask yourself 'why?' What is my
motivation? As often as you remember to do
so, ask yourself: Why am I doing what I'm
doing? Would I prefer to be or do something
different? How can I bring that 'something
different' into reality?
3. Create your own Hot List. A Hot List is a
to-do list but it only includes topics or
tasks that genuinely affect your quality of
life. Keep a prioritised Hot List handy so
when you have 5 to 15 minutes free, you can
focus on and write about what counts in
life. Your attention on what matters will
get the energy moving.
For fulfillment, we need to take our lives
off autopilot. We need to consciously decide
what we will and will not do, moment by
moment. We need to give ourselves the space,
permission and freedom to be proactive in
choosing how we live each day. And only we
can judge what's right for us.
"When we are motivated by goals that have
deep meaning, by dreams that need
completion, by pure love that needs
expressing, then we truly live life." --
