It’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.
Once upon a time... and they ALL lived happily ever after... are phrases often used at the beginning and endings of a fairy tale. In true life - we are ALL born and we ALL will die some day - what makes us xqisit is the life we live in between. What are you doing with this opportunity that most people casually refer to as life?
In today's fast-paced and ever-changing world, having a clear sense of direction for your future is more important than ever. Unfortunately, the majority of people drift through life without a plan or purpose, which is a significant cause of failure and dissatisfaction. Without a defined target, making daily choices and decisions becomes a challenge, as there is no clear endpoint to strive towards. However, the ability to set goals is the master skill of success, and it can transform your life in profound ways.
Setting goals unlocks your positive mind and releases ideas and energy for achieving those goals. When you have goals, you are like an arrow flying straight and true towards your target. Goals give you anticipation and enthusiasm for what lies ahead, providing you with something to live for—a sense of living on purpose. This sense of purpose is crucial for personal fulfilment and success.
Evolution by natural selection teaches us the power of striving for something beyond our current capabilities - its a process, though undirected and incremental, has created the most supremely creative force of all. Similarly, setting ambitious goals pushes you to step outside your comfort zone and achieve magnificent outcomes. This process of growth and striving can be deeply fulfilling and transformative.
Moreover, setting and pursuing goals not only benefits you but also attracts like-minded individuals who can support you on your journey. When you have a clear sense of direction and purpose, you naturally draw people who share your vision and values. These individuals can become valuable friends and allies, providing mutual support and encouragement. After all, what are friends for if not to support each other in achieving their dreams?
We each play an important role within the society in which we live. Our actions and behaviours have a ripple effect, influencing those around us. By setting and achieving goals, we become leaders who inspire others to do the same. Our world needs more leaders who can help people help themselves—by taking responsibility for your own life and learning from those you view as successful. Success leaves tracks, and by following these tracks, you can learn the skills and strategies needed to achieve your own goals.
Zig Ziglar famously said, “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” This quote underscores the idea that helping others opens up a world of possibilities for ourselves. True joy comes when you inspire, encourage, and guide someone else on a path that benefits them. By helping others achieve their goals, we create a positive feedback loop that enhances our own success and happiness.
