I’m currently listening to “Lead the Field” by Earl Nightingale – a powerful audio collection where Nightingale spells out the differences between those who achieve what they desire and the rest of the world. In the track I just listened to, entitled “A Worthy Destination,” it was made clear as day that successful people have GOALS which drive them. From the moment that they wake up, to the moment that they are about to rest their head onto their pillow, their GOALS are the underlying motive behind EVERYTHING that they do.

Every waking moment we should think to ourselves: “Is what I’m doing right now getting me to where I want to go?” Napoleon Hill said it best when he said, “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” What are YOU focused on? What do YOU want? Where you are today isn’t a result of the economy, fate, or outside circumstances. We are where we are in life because of our own decisions. This can be either a cold slap in the face, or it can be the most empowering words you have read today… It all depends on how you choose to look at it.

The fact that each one of us have been blessed by God with talents, the human brain, free will, and another breath of life says that each one of us can get whatever we want. Whatever we focus on, whatever we think about, we become.
