| Think About Your Goal Remember the great truth You become what you think about most of the time. Each morning when you getup, think about your goal. All day long, think about your goal. In the evening, review your progress on your major goal. The more you think about your goal, the more ideas you will get to achieve it. Intense goal orientation stimulates your subconscious and superconscious minds toward goal attainment. The more you think, plan, and work on your major goal, the faster you move toward it, and the faster it moves toward you. Begin today to become a goal-focused person. This will help to unlock your mental powers, stimulate your creativity, channel your energies, and motivate you forward more than any other single activity. ACTION EXERCISES 1.

In the Bible, it says, Seek, and ye shall find, . . . for he that seeketh findeth.” This turned out to be true for me. As I began asking this question, the answers started to come tome, like iron filings attracted to a magnet. Download 0.86 Mb. Share with your friends:
