The one skill most responsible for the abundance in my life is learning how to effectively set and achieve goals.
Something almost magical happens when you organize and focus your creative power on a well-defined target.
The highest achievers in the world have all succeeded because they mapped out their visions.
The person who has a clear, compelling, and white-hot burning why will always defeat even the best of the best at doing the how.

You only see, experience, and get what you look for.
If you don’t know what to look for, you certainly won’t get it.
By our very nature, we are goal-seeking creatures.
Our brain is always trying to align our outer world with what we’re seeing and expecting in our inner world.
So, when you instruct your brain to look for things you want, you will begin to see them.
In fact, the object of your desire has probably always existed around you, but your mind and eyes weren’t open to “seeing” it.

When you define your goals, you give your brain something new to look for and focus on.
It’s as if you’re giving your mind a new set of eyes from which to see all the people, circumstances, conversations, resources, ideas, and creativity surrounding you.
With this new perspective, your mind proceeds to match up on the outside what you want most on the inside – your goal.
It’s that simple.

The difference in how you experience the world and draw ideas, people, and opportunities into your life after you have clearly defined your goals is profound.

Take some time today to make a list of your most important goals.
