It's not all about Push Ups

One of the largest, most determining factors in what our lives look like we have total control over.  We have control from start to finish and that is the goal that we set for ourselves on the way to life that we want to live.  That may be as short term as what we want today to look like or this week, but it is also the bigger picture of this year, 5 years, the rest of our life.  What do you want to contribute to this world?  What do you want your best self to look like, not necessarily physically but in terms of lifestyle, career, family if you were at your very best?  What do you want people to say about you?  In other words what do you want to reflect or influence in the world?  These are the areas that the highest achievers think about constantly, and they test themselves to make sure they are living up to the standards that they are striving for.

Setting the goal is the easy part, understanding process vs outcome is easy now that you understand the difference. But now we have to make sure that you can complete the goal and not give up early on, or even get right to the edge of the endzone but not be able to get the ball over.  There is more to this than just writing down a list of goals on a planner…remember a goal without a plan is just a wish.
