Goals (Motivational Speech;Extended Version)

Most people don't ever achieve what they want in life It's not because they aren't capable It's not because they lack opportunity It's not because of the circumstances and events that arrive in their life Most often it is because most people never define what they want in life Most people don't know what they want And it is impossible to find something When you don't know what you're looking for In a recent study it was found that less than 3% of the population set goals Only 3% have some direction in life Only 3% defined where they are going Let me tell you If you haven't got a target, you are not reaching your full potential If you haven't got goals you will never achieve your dreams Because the chances of you one day falling into your dreams is right around zero Some people might say their goal is to be successful I just want to be successful or I just want to be rich These are not goals, these are wishes Wishes do not come true You must be specific Know exactly what you want out of life Learn how you are going to get it, and work until you do get it Define what you want What do you want!? Write it down and read it to yourself every day Let it sink in to your subconscious mind You gotta get out there and seize your dream! Carpe diem that dream You gotta say: This is what I want This is how I'm gonna get it And I will do whatever it takes! Most people won't ever end up where they want to be Because they never define where that place is They drift through life with no direction Then wonder why they are in the middle of nowhere Don't be like that You know better than that Be like the very few who know where they are going in life The very few who have a desire to improve every area Willing to work on every area Excited at the possibilities Looking forward to each next level in your life! If your goals are easy to achieve they are not big enough Set bigger goals! Goals that excite you and scare you at the same time! If it is important to you, you will make it happen! If it is not, you will find an excuse! How bad do you want it? Some people say they've set goals But then they don't take action toward their goal, because they get overwhelmed Well, take that impossible goal and break it down into small action steps you can take Take action! Build some momentum Once you get going, you won't be able to stop. You will achieve your goal, then you can move on to the next level. Bigger targets Greater accomplishments So you have your goals You have your plan The action steps to climb to your goal Next you have to define your reason why Why must you achieve this goal? Find a deep emotional reason, your why Your reason that will ensure you do not back down from this when times get tough Odds are you've never met a successful person that doesn't set goals Because the chances of finding what you want Without a clear target to move toward are slim and none If you don't know where you are going You will end up some place you don't want to be Setting goals should be the number one priority for anyone seeking success Define exactly what it is you want Your end goal If you want success in any area You must have goals! If you want to achieve anything of significance You must have goals! Goals are a must, there's no way around it Not only will they help you achieve whatever it is you want in life But they will give you life They will give you a reason to get up every morning Something meaningful to work towards. That's a goal! When setting your goals remember: If it doesn't challenge you it will never change you Set goals that others think are crazy, that will make you stretch yourself Set a goal so big that you can't achieve it until you grow into the person that can! Tell yourself I will achieve my goal I will leave no doubt in my mind! I will take all action needed to achieve the life I want! Leave no doubt in your mind! Know in your heart you will do this!
