your own comfort zone. Many people choose goals with no power to<br />

cause them to grow or stretch. They choose something they know they<br />

can reach, or worse, something they have reached before. These are not<br />

the types of life-changing goals we are talking about here. If you never<br />

challenge yourself by doing things you’ve never attempted before, then<br />

you are doomed to live a life of repeats. Read that line again!<br />

As Les Brown says, “We are all born with greatness in us, but we must<br />

step into it.” Yes, we are definitely born into greatness and, unfortunately,<br />

conditioned into mediocrity.<br />

So, how do you make decisions about whether or not to do something,<br />

to step out? I asked Bob Proctor that same question and he replied, “If<br />

the thought of stepping out and doing something scares the hell out of<br />

me, I know I’m on the right track.” In order for me to grow, to become<br />

more, I had to step out of my own comfort zone. I’ve come to ask myself<br />

a couple of questions when faced with big decisions.<br />

1. Would doing this move me farther along my path in the pursuit<br />

of my purpose?<br />

2. If money were not a concern, would I step out and do this?<br />

If the answers to these two questions are “Yes”, then I go for it!<br />

iT’s noT The goal ThaT MaTTeRs<br />

The reason that we set goals in the first place is so that we grow and<br />

stretch as individuals through reaching higher and higher levels of<br />

achievement. As with all forms of life, if we are not constantly in a<br />

state of growth, we are dying. There is no stagnation. There is no standing<br />

still. In fact, in business as in life, if you are standing still, the world<br />

and your competition will literally pass you by. The true power in goal<br />

setting, then focused persistent action through the achievement of that<br />

goal, is not in its achievement at all. The true power is in the transformation<br />

of you.<br />
