S2-E39 – See the positive in negative events . . . Joel Osteen

You’re going to go through tough times – that’s life. But I say, ‘Nothing happens to you, it happens for you.’
See the positive in negative events.
Joel Osteen

Hi fellow Goal Getter. I appreciate you listening to the show. I really apologize for the delays in getting back to the show. I am going through some challenges and changes in my life at the moment and I have allowed it to affect my thoughts and my attitude. I am a positive person and do my best to keep myself and other thinking positive and keeping our motivation going so we can achieve our goals.

I am going to start a series on Positive Thinking Quotes. I think it is important to think positively. To be positive. But don’t get me wrong. I don’t believe that positive thinking alone will be what it takes to achieve our goals. Reading and quoting positive thoughts won’t get you farther. It will help keep us motivated and inspired and help you remember your Why.

And it’s certainly makes us feel better to be positive than to be negative, right?

The power of positive thinking is powerful. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale wrote the great book, The Power of Positive Thinking. I highly recommend it. I read it so many time when I was young. I remember after the first time I read it, I told my minister I was excited about the idea. I remember standing on the front steps of our church after a Sunday service and him saying, “Tony, thinking positive is a bad thing. You need to be realistic.”

I was amazed with this statement. This was my last Sunday at this church. I couldn’t believe that a preacher, a man of God would not believe in the power of positive thinking. God wants us to be positive and to believe in ourselves. I did not believe that this man spoke for God.

We are going to go through tough times at points in our lives. We are going to experience stress, sadness, and issues. However, as Joel Osteen, another man that speaks for God, says above, these tough times are happening to you but for you. It is a learning experience. Like, failure, which is a tough time for most of us, we should see these in a positive light. What can we learn from it? What does it teach us?  How does it help us toward our feelings. Are we going to let it strengthen us or defeat us?

See the positive in the negative events in your life and you will grow.

Go Out Today and Think Positive About the Negatives in Life

S1-EP2 Replay – Written Goals – What Did You Say You Want?

What Did You Say You Want?

Click Below to Listen to This Episode

http://traffic.libsyn.com/goalgettingpodcast/S1-EP2_-_What_Did_You_Say_You_Wanted_-_Final.mp3

This is a replay of Season 1 – Episode 2.  Many of the early episodes have been pushed off of iTunes and other platforms because of the amount of episodes I have published. If you have listened to some of my latest episodes, you will have heard that I am working on some Life Event issues and am working on a new platform for the show. As I work through this Life Event, I will be back into full swing with Goal Getting Podcast. Thank you for your patience. I hope you enjoy this replay.

Goal Setting Concept - The What - Written Goals

The What – Clearly Defined Written Goals

In order to accomplish a goal, your mind must first know what you want. The brain is a very literal tool. It wants to, and will, give you exactly what you want. It will give you exactly what you BELIEVE you want.

There is a quote attributed to Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich and Outwitting The Devil,

What The Mind Can Conceive, it Can Achieve.  However, the actual quote is

What The Mind Can Conceive, and Believe, It Can Achieve! - Napoleon Hill Click To Tweet

 

In order for the mind to believe it has to know, specifically, what you want.  To make that clear, Napoleon Hill stated in Think  And Grow Rich, that you should create not just written goals, but

Clearly Defined, Written Goals.

In Episode 0, we learned about the 3 Critical Concepts of Successful Goal Setting

We talked about the FIRST Concept – that I call – The What – What do you want?

As we discussed then, it is important to know What We Want To Achieve.

Napoleon Hill – for his book – Think & Grow Rich – Interviewed the most Highly Successful People of his time , people such as (Andrew Carnegie, JP Morgan, etc.).

Napoleon Hill wanted to know what they did differently from everyone else that propelled them to Success and great wealth.

What did they do that allowed them to achieve what they achieved?

From his studies and interviews he found 13 Principles,

The ONE COMMON THREAD with all of these successful people was they had – CLEARLY DEFINED, WRITTEN GOALS.

Each one wrote their goals down, but they were also were clearly defined.

Not just, I want to be rich! I Want to make a lot of money! I Want to be famous!

They were clearly defined! Each one knew very clearly where they wanted to go!

Speaker and Author – Mark Victor Hansen says that time has proven 2 of the laws/principles to be most important:

1) The Master Mind principle/process and

2) “Know very clearly where you want to go.”

If you’ve read any books about the current leaders of industry and highly successful people, you will hear the same thing …. They all had CLEARLY DEFINED, WRITTEN GOALS! They all knew clearly where they wanted to go!

Scientific Study Proves It – Written Goals Works!

In 2007, Dr. Gail Matthews at The Dominican University in Northern California performed a Scientific Study –

Why? – she and several other behavior researchers had heard about a Harvard or Yale study from the 50’s or 60’s that stated a certain percentage of Harvard )or Yale alumni had been more successful than others because they had written their goals down.

In their research, they found that the study never really happened. The statistics were non-existent – bunk that had been perpetuated by speakers since that time. But it never happened.

So they set out to find out “Would you be more likely to achieve your goals if you wrote them down?”

Their study included 5 Groups – ranging from Not Writing Goals Down to various levels of Writing them down with accountability or not.

The Conclusion of their study was –

The positive effect of written goals was supported!  Those who wrote their goals down accomplished significantly more than those who did not write their goals down.

 

They found that you were 42% more likely to achieve goals if you write them down!

Do you want the odds to be with you? Then Follow Step #1 found in 9 Steps To Successful Goal Achievement – WRITE THEM DOWN!

Written goals will give you  a 42% greater likelihood of GETTING the GOALS YOU SET!

Here is a link to Dr. Matthews’ Goal Study.

What does Clearly Defined, Written Goals mean?

Being Specific. Specificity when writing your goals will help the brain understand what you want.

Clearly defined, written goals should be specific. “Specific is Terrific!” – Tony Woodall Click To Tweet

Write your goals with Specific details as to what you want to achieve – This is Critical.

Grab a pen and a notepad and let’s work on some examples of your Clearly Defined, Written Goals.

For Example:
If you have a Weight Loss Goal:

You might write something like this:

When I wake up on May 1st of next year, I will step on the scale and be excited to see that I now weigh 185 pounds. I will put on my new 34 inch waist pants and go celebrate!

Specific goal of 185 #, On a Specific Date (we will learn more later about deadlines), and I will wear a specific waist size.

Or, If you have a Project Goal of some sort, say to remodel your home. You might write something like:

I will complete the renovations to my kitchen on March 12th of next year without incurring any additional debt.

In this goal, we have specific renovations, the kitchen, a specific date, AND an important part of the goal is that it will be done without incurring any additional debt.

This may be a very important part of the goal if you need to stay on a budget.

Goals are similar to Projects. Have you ever heard of Scope Creep? That happens when you have a project that hasn’t been fully defined and agreed upon. Things start getting added onto the project and eventually it starts creeping into more time, money or not getting accomplished at all.

Step 1 to Successful Goal Achievement is Write It Down!

Remember, when you start to set your goals. You must write them down, and be specific.

S2-E38 – Leadership is not genetic. Leaders are made not born.

The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born – that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That’s nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.
~ Warren G. Bennis

http://traffic.libsyn.com/goalgettingpodcast/S2-E39_Warren_G_Bennis_-_Leaders_Final.mp3

 

 Thank you, Mr. Bennis. Warren G. Bennis was a scholar and renowned author on leadership. Perhaps one of the the founders and forerunners of the modern leadership movement, Warren Bennis has debunked the myth that leaders are born. That cannot be farther from the truth.

As, Mr. Bennis said, the thought that people are born with leadership skills, that it’s part of genetics is total nonsense, a myth.

Leaders are made. Leaders learn skills as leadership itself is a skill. Many people with upbringings that are less than stellar, with ancestors that were far from leaders have made great leaders.

They learned the skills necessary to lead and then applied those skills. Charisma is not necessarily a genetic trait. Many people learn the science and mechanics to understand life and people and then take that into their mental thought processes and become that person. That leader.

This thought, I believe, stems from the male-dominated business environments of the past where they believed that only men were capable of being leaders. Therefore, they had the genetic makeup required to be leaders. Well, we all know this is bunk. Let’s face it, there have been many great leaders that have been women. There genetic makeup had nothing to do with it.

Don’t let this old myth stop you from striving to be a good leader. Learn what makes a good leader. Then strive to be a great leader.

Go Out Today and Learn to Be a Great Leader, Then Be A Great Leader


Thank you for listening to Goal Getting Podcast. I am going through some transitions in life. As I do this I started thinking about my original goal for the podcast. The original goal was to provide tips, strategies and inspiration to Goal Getters. I had originally set the podcast up as a weekly edition with then intent of sharing the lessons of my Goal Achievement Success System and to interview expert guests that has achieved success in areas of their life that you Goal Getters might be working on yourself.

I started an experiment in July of last year providing the Goal Getting Quote of the Day. It was well received and I had a lot of you start following me because of that addition. The frequency went from 1 day a week to 7 days a week, with one day being the Weekly lesson, interview.

With my career change in September, which you may remember was a goal I had set and achieved 2 years sooner than I expected, my schedule has gotten busier at work. I took a winter break to start Season 2 which would be longer segments focusing on a quote and a longer lesson to go along with that quote. I wanted to keep the podcast down to less than 20 minutes.

With the new transition and the increased workload at the office and my #WorkOnWellness goal I am committed to, I realize that I must go back to the original plan of the podcast.

I will be reverting back to the original one show per week beginning in May. I will do three days this week and next, I hope.  That is my goal for the next two weeks.

I hope you understand and will continue to support Goal Getting Podcast. Let me know what you think.

S2-E37 – Don’t waste a minute not being happy. If the window won’t open. . .

Don’t waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes, run to the next window – Or break down a door.
~ Brooke Shields

Click Below to Listen to Today’s Show

http://traffic.libsyn.com/goalgettingpodcast/S2-E37_Brooke_Shields_-_Be_Happy.mp3

A better thought has not been said. Life is too short to be unhappy for a minute. Don’t waste your life, your time, on being unhappy. It is up to you to determine your happiness. If you aren’t happy in a situation, you can choose to be happy or remove the unhappiness.

As Brooke Shields says, if one window closes, run to the next window. Our life has many windows. We just have to be prepared to run to the next and then the next. Don’t just stare out the same window if it’s a window to unhappiness. The view will likely be better elsewhere.

What’s more, her further statement is even greater. Just break down a door. When you are unhappy, it is sometimes better to knock down the door to get out of one room or to get into the next room.  Don’t be afraid to be assertive. If the door won’t won’t open for you, knock it down.

S2-E36 – People fail when they quit becoming.

Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.
~Anais Nin

 

Click Below to Listen to Today’s Show

http://traffic.libsyn.com/goalgettingpodcast/S2-E36_Anais_Nin_Life_is_a_process_of_becoming_Final.mp3

The thought that life is becoming is true. It never is, it is always becoming. We are ever changing. We go through stages and states in life. We do things and try things, we experience life. Passion drives us in many new areas and many new experiences. When we get to the point where we find a state and decide to stay in that state, that stage, we are in, as Anais Nin says, a kind of death.

My friend Bud, says, Without change there is is no growth. When we don’t grow, we become stagnant. We essentially die. Only dead things don’t grow.

When people lose their passion for new experiences, new states, new stages their mind starts to atrophy. Do you know people like this. Instead of working to move to the next state, they stay dormant. I know people like that. They are stuck in the past. They don’t see the new experiences as a form of growth. They don’t see the new experiences as a positive. They want to be what they are or more so what they were at one time.

This is not healthy. Life moves on. Life grows. Experiences change and new friends and feelings form. We all must seek to experience new changes, to keep becoming. If not, we die. If not physically certainly mentally, emotionally, or spiritually.

Go Out Today and Keep Becoming! Enjoy the States You Experience

S2-E35 – Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. –Rumi

Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.”
~Rumi

 

Click Below to Listen to Today’s Show

http://traffic.libsyn.com/goalgettingpodcast/S2-E35_Rumi_Do_what_you_love_Final.mp3

This is a simple quote. When you are in love or doing what you love, life is beautiful. When we love something, it is beautiful. Whether we love a man, a woman, art, a flower, an pet, a place, whatever we love, it is beautiful. Rumi, the 13th century Persian poet often spoke about love. Here he is talking about how the beauty of what we love should be what we do.

This 13th century idea is about what we call Passion today. When we are passionate about things, we see the great beauty in them. Rumi’s wisdom here is that we should be doing what we love. When we are doing what we love, life is beautiful. Life is happy.

I keep mentioning the sign I saw on Facebook, but it resonated so deeply with me that I keep thinking about it.

If you think about something day in and day out, every waking moment – and it makes you happy. You should be doing that.

I believe Rumi would think the same. When you think about something day in and day out, every waking minute, you are in love with it. It is beautiful to you. It is your mind’s focus. If it makes you happy, you should be doing that.

Love what you do. If it is a career, love what you do. I heard someone say recently, No job pays enough to suck! Same thing simplified.

Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life.

I’m just full of these one liner quotes in this episode about passion in your work. I am big on passion these days. I believe we have to have passion for what we do, who we are with and in living a passionate life. Live life to it’s fullest.

Go Out Today and Let The Beauty Of What You Love Be What You Do!

S2-E34 -Passion lies in all of us…Passion rules us and we obey. What other choice do we have?

Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping… waiting… and though unwanted… unbidden… it will stir… open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us… guides us… passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have?”
– Joss Whedon, screenwriter and director

Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping… waiting… and though unwanted… unbidden… it will stir… open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us… guides us… passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have?”

Man, I love this quote about passion. I am going to take it, print it and put it on my wall. Josh Whedon is a great director and screenwriter. He is a quote master as well when it comes to passion. In his line of work, it takes passion to succeed. It takes passion to create and bring a movie to market.

I think Josh is correct. We all have Passion. It is within us all as we grow. Children have passion. Too often it is stifled as we grow. But at some time, for most of us it will stir. It will open it’s jaws and howl as Josh says.

Passion when we pay attention to it speaks to us, it does guide us, it does rule us all, and we must obey it when it rises within us.  What choice do we have?

If we don’t obey it will drive us crazy, it will fill us with stress and longing. You must obey when passion comes to call. You must use that passion to take on your challenges each day.

Take passion and use it for yourself and for others. You are the champion of passion if we obey.

Go Out Today and Choose To Use It! Use The Passion Inside You!

S2-E33 – What the world needs is people who have come alive.

Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. – What the world needs is more people with passion that act on that passion and come alive to succeed.

Howard Thurman has probably heard the same thing I have heard. Ask yourself what the world needs and you will be successful. He doesn’t necessarily agree with this. Why? Because if you just try to do what others want, you will eventually not be willing to do it any longer. As soon as the joy runs out, as soon as you stop believing that the world is right about what they want or as soon as you stop believing in the same thing, you will quit. You will not have the passion it takes to keep that goal alive.

What Thurman is saying is to ask yourself what makes you come alive. What is your passion. Passion makes us come alive. It makes us get excited about things. When you find your passion, what it is that makes you come alive, then go and do that.

It reminds me of a sign I saw recently on Facebook – If you think about something day in and day out, with every waking moment, and it makes you happy, You should be doing that!

That’s the same thought that Thurman has here. Don’t worry about what everyone else wants or needs. Think about what makes you come alive! What makes you happy. Then go out and do that.

The world needs more people that have come alive. People that have come alive with a passion for something they believe in will do what it takes to succeed.

Go Out Today and Find What Makes You Alive – And go do that!

S2-E32 – There is no greatness without a passion to be great . . . Tony Robbins

There is no greatness without a passion to be great, whether it’s the aspiration of an athlete or an artist, a scientist, a parent, or a businessperson.

There is no greatness without a passion to be great! Passion is the driver for human greatness. We’ve been talking about passion for the last week. I believe that passion is the biggest motivator of mankind. People who become great, who strive for greatness do so because they have a passion for their beliefs.

Without passion, there is no intensity, no burning desire to complete or be anything. That’s the sad state of the world today. People don’t have passion for their own beliefs. Those with passion for their beliefs work to make themselves great, to make their countries great, to make their religions great.

Whether that belief is good or bad, passion is what drives the person to do the things they do. They have the burning desire to succeed at what they do.

Imagine if we all had that passion for good. If we had the same passion for the good beliefs, what could we do?  If we believe in our own greatness and the ability of our goals to be great, we will set the bar high. We will set ourselves to move toward greatness instead of mediocrity.

Go Out Today And Use Your Passion For Greatness to Be Great, To Create Great Things.

Marshal Ferdinand Foch, the great French Military Strategist, had this one right. A human with their soul on fire, with unbridled passion is the the most powerful weapon on Earth.

We can do so much when we have Passion! Passion drives people to do extraordinary feats. With passion, we can lead people to believe in our beliefs. With passion we can believe we can do whatever we put our action to.

Passion is what makes humans the dominant species. We have that fire in the belly, that burning desire, that passionate spirit that allows us to do things we would never ordinarily do. That’s what makes them extraordinary!

Passion has fueled many peoples that were about to be conquered and drove them to fight harder, stronger and longer. It makes them fierce in battle. The passion for freedom, the passion for life, the passion for their beliefs.

Passion reigns supreme on Earth and great military leaders like Marshal Foch realize this.

If you have passion for your goals and dreams, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to if you believe it. Use that passion to Get The Goals You Set.

Go Out Today, Have passion for your goals, for your dreams. Be the most powerful weapon on Earth!
