The Purpose of a Goal

The purpose of a goal is not to get it, but to become the kind of person who deserves it.

The difference between a person who earned a million dollars and a person who won a million dollars in the lottery is vast.

In no time, the person who won the money will spend it foolishly and be broke again. 

The person who earned it will keep it and earn more.  Should it all be taken from them, they will earn it again. It’s the kind of person they are.

So strive to become the kind of person who accomplishes what you want to accomplish, do the work, and your goal will come to you.

What kind of person do you want to be?

Growth Mindset

Many people graduate from school and stop learning.  They figure they know enough I guess.

But earners are learners. If you want to make more, you have to bring more value to the marketplace. You have to help your customers or company even more than you are now. In order to do that, you have to learn more.

“The hallmark of successful individuals is that they love learning, they seek new challenges, they value effort, and they persist in the face of obstacles.” – Carol Dweck

Are you learning more and new things each day? How?

Be the exception

If you want to live like few can, you have to think like few ever will.

You have to see what others see, and think what others don’t.

You have to do what others are not doing, and don’t do what they are doing.

If you value conforming to a group of normal people, you will find it hard to be the exception.

You have to be comfortable being “unusual”.

By definition, if you want to be extraordinary, you cannot be ordinary.

Negativity flourishes in an unguarded mind.

You have to stand guard at the gate of your mind.

Your brain is hardware, and it will run ANY software program you put in.

Watch a disturbing movie, and you are thinking about it.  

Watch or listen to small people bicker and debate – you’re thinking about it.

Learn something useful, listen to something inspirational or motivational  – you’re thinking about it.  

You have infinite choices.

Choose your influences. 

What are you feeding your mind? 

What are you allowing in?
