setting goals

It's a new month so i suppose it's the perfect time to set new goals for ourselves. It's always fun seeing how we can do better than we did the last month, cause it always keeps us striving to be more than we are. I heard a cd the other night which was quite inspiring, & one thing that stood out to me on it was when the lady speaking said: "Do you know what's outside of your comfort zone? Everything. Everything you want is outside of your comfort zone." Which means that in order to get what we want, we have to be willing to be very uncomfortable & to keep stretching ourselves beyond what we think we are capable of or willing to do. I think it's cool. It helps us grow as people & become more exceptional human beings. I found some cool quotes on goal-setting so i'll post some here that i really liked. But maybe just stop & think about what are some of your goals for this month.

To be good is not enough when you dream of being great!

Write it down. Written goals have a way of transforming wishes into wants; cant's into cans; dreams into plans; and plans into reality. Don't just think it - ink it!

Louisa May Alcott
Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.

Elbert Hubbard
Many people fail in life, not for lack of ability or brains or even courage but simply because they have never organized their energies around a goal.

Jim Rohn
Goals. There's not telling what you can do when you get inspired by them. There's no telling what you can do when you believe in them. There's no telling what will happen when you act upon them.

Maxwell Maltz
Emptiness is a symptom that you are not living creatively. You either have not goal that is important enough to you, or you are not using your talents and efforts in a striving toward an important goal.

Make no small plans for they have no power to stir the soul.

Robert Collier
See things as you would have them be instead of as they are.

Harvey Mackay
Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning; they are an incentive to keep you going all day. Goals tend to tap the deeper resources and draw the best out of life.

Milton Berle
I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are.

Charles F Kettering
I am not interested in the past. I am interested in the future, for that is where I expect to spend the rest of my life.

Zig Ziglar
Remember, what you get by reaching your destination isn't nearly as important as what you become by reaching your goals -- what you will become is the winner you were born to be!

Kahlil Gibran
To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.

Napoleon Hill
A goal is a dream with a deadline.

Well, there you have it. Ugh i love this stuff, these kind of quotes just keep me going. I hope they inspire you too.
