Dear friend,
Welcome to POWER UP YOUR DESTINY – Secrets to Achieving Your Life Goals and congratulations for making the decision to take your life to the next level.
Imagine this. You have just saved up enough for a holiday of a lifetime. You have cleared your in-tray at work and your boss has given his blessings for you to take a month off work. You are so ready to jet away. But ... you have forgotten to plan for a destination! By the time you start thinking of where to go, where to book your flight & accommodation, what to pack and which sightseeing spots to visit, your leave has just come to an end and you have not even left your seat in front of the computer.
Living life without direction is exactly like that. Routine sets in and you happily
comply with status quo, then wonder why you never seem to step off the hamster wheel.
If you want to succeed in having a powerful destiny, you have to set goals towards your desired destination, be it in your business, career, finances, health, family, relationships, personal growth, fun time or physical environment. Without goals, you lack focus and direction and will float rudderless through life. The secret, of course, is in knowing how to set your goals, stay on course and act to fulfil them.
In the following chapters we will journey together to reveal some of the hidden and less obvious secrets to effective Achievement of Life Goals that will have a profound effect on your future. Enjoy your adventure and the success waiting at your destination!
See you on the other side ...

REMOVE YOUR PAIN
What’s in It for You
Life is short, fragile and does not wait for anyone. There will never be a perfect time to pursue your dreams and goals.
ANON
Your first consideration before taking any action is inevitably to answer the question "Why?" What’s in it for me? How would I benefit from taking on this action? Purpose linked to benefits is one of the most powerful aphrodisiacs for initiating action. For you to take your initial step in setting your goals is to first determine its worth to you.
It is recorded that about half of the American adult population makes New Year’s Resolutions. Of these, only 25% keep to their pledge after one week. By January 15, this commitment would have dropped to only 8%. Regardless of the pin-point accuracy of these published percentages, it would appear that most folks who initiate goals do not find it worthwhile enough to keep up with the programme as other priorities, lethargy, indifference or lack of perseverance creep in. Why then would people want to even bother to waste time over something that won’t materialise?
This disempowering belief is actually unfounded because it is an accepted fact that people who do not achieve their goals the first time, will still keep on setting them over and over again. In fact, I just read in an article that the average person makes the same New Year’s resolution ten separate times without success. There must, therefore, be some perceived benefits for these triers to repeat their attempts, albeit without seeing the desired outcomes.
To get into their minds as to why they still persist in goal setting, we have to look at the benefits that they believe in.
BENEFITS OF GOAL SETTING
1. Goal setting is a long term investment to a more desirable future.
Most people I know are not contented with their current situation. They feel that there is something better for them in life and will jump through hoops to get it ... if they only knew how and were not held back by fear of not meeting their desired outcomes.
When you think in detail about what you want to achieve out of life and how you can get there, you are actually starting to draft out a blueprint for your journey ahead. Whether you use a Vision Board (a pictorial wish list), brainstorm (throwing out random ideas as they come to mind), use a Mind Map (an organisation of big picture ideas and concepts with sub-ideas) or other tools, is a matter of comfort and preference. Especially when you put pen to paper, the act of setting goals will force you to think about where you are now and gain clarity as to where you would like to be by a future date.
Goal setting helps you focus on what is important to you and gives direction to your unconscious mind. Unwritten goals fall prey to lack of recall over time and get jumbled up with the two million bits of information bombarding us every second. When you start writing down your
