FROM MY FRONT DESK, COMES THIS ONE...
NEVER BE TOO AFRAID NOT TO START
Many people wake-up everyday with ideas running through their minds of what they want to do, may be something that could change their lives for better and as soon as they decide to start or to give it a proper tick in their mind they taught may be not. The idea could be to start a business of their own, to go for a degree programme or a political position whatever the ideas might be, they tend to major on the reasons why it will not workout rather then focus and expound their energy on why it will workout. They procreate so many problems for the ideas they’ve not even started, they ensure that those ideas goes down the drain or away into the dark blue sky and they have a feeling of satisfaction; mind you it is like a pregnancy they desire so much but they are not ready to conceive it. Someone once said, “Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be Overcome” this tells us that we sometimes don’t have to get everything together before we can start; we need to make use of what we have to start and gradually increase from there to move on to the next level.
Mary Kay Ash, the founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics Incorporated the Dallas-based, direct-to-customer selling company says “If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you’re right.” It was observed that, the bumble bee’s body according to the Law of aerodynamics, is too heavy to fly, she relates the wings are too weak, but the bumble bee doesn’t know it and goes right on flying. She believes, “Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe and enthusiastically act on must inevitably come to pass,” she went on further to say “When you want to do something and don’t know how, start anyhow and the pieces will fall into place.” You should remember what is worth doing is worth dying for, if not its not worth starting at all don’t give it your seed of taught for it to germinate it not to even allow it to grow to cause you more pain of uprooting it.

SET LIFE GOALS FOR YOURSELF
It is amazing how individuals pass through life's without realizing what they can achieve by committing themselves into writing one important thing, that will transform their lives into greatness but given the least priority. They major on the minor things and minors on the major things. I`ve found out that goals and plans are the keys to achievements and successes, in fact statistics have proven that only 3% of us have goals and write them down. Interestingly only another 10% of us have goals and plans but keep them in their heads. But, the most dangerous one is the 87% of us drift through life without a definitive goals or plans. These sets of individual don`t know where they are going but let others dictate to them where they are going.
It is important to take into account that the 3% who have their goals and plans written down accomplish it from 50 to 100 times more during their lifetime than the 10% who have goals and plans but kept it in their heads. It is shocking to found out, that many people overestimate what they can do in a year (remember no goals and plans set for that year) and underestimate what they can do in a lifetime. Now what can YOU DO, it is very simple. Quickly write this down;

Now what can YOU DO, it is very simple. Quickly write this down;
- Set yourself a clear goals
- Find an establish plan of action in achieving those goals
- Put those goals and plans into a notebook (find a notebook for the year), give it a specific time
- Celebrate those goals when they are achieved.
Before I forget, to make your goals useful, we need to make them SMART. The acronym SMART stands for:
SPECIFIC
MEASURABLE
ACHIEVABLE
RESULTS ORIENTED
TRACKABLE
Remember is not too late to start, its better than not starting at all.
