Many of you will be busy preparing for your children’s return to school, but what about you? Why not treat yourself to some fancy new stationary and use it to write your goals for the rest of the year.

What many people don’t realise is that those people, who write their goals down, are over 300% more likely to see them come to fruition. Those who write them down and read them daily are 700%+ more likely to have them come true. So could you! Why not start today?

You probably know this already but we have just 127 days remaining in 2008!

A lot of people think that 127 days is too short to make a difference in their lives and that there’s no way they’ll hit all their targets and achieve their goals in that time, but I hope you know different.

You do, don’t you?

This time last year I was introduced to a system by a Personal Trainer called Dax Moy who called this his ‘magic 100’ and set me about from the very first day to get as many items checked off of my list as he could. This teaches you how to write up 100 goals that excite you, inspire you and give yourself only 100 days to complete them.

By the end of my first 100 days I had achieved 81 of my 100 goals and literally changed the entire course of my life in the process. Since that time my magic 100 has been a constant companion of mine. My magic hundred experience showed me what was possible when you consciously invest your time rather than merely spending it on irrelevant and unnecessary tasks. (more…)

They never said that it will be easy,it have not been easy for me to post on this blog not because of lack of what to write but due to the Internet connection here.I have stayed up at odd hours just to keep in touch but then the Internet connection just goes off and on,very frustrating. During the day the kids will not give me a chance to be able to do anything, the most annoying thing is not been able to watch anything meaningful on television. The guesthouse with all the money that they are collecting from TOTAL can not pay their monthly cable subscription instead they depend on the free channels. This had made me to start watching Nigerian movies on African Magic channel,I noticed that most of the story lines have complicated issues well that is gist for another time. We have been looking for a house,you will think that the company will provide housing for us instead they will pay housing allowance according to your grade as opposed to the number of your family that we are used to elsewhere. My husband can’t take a new post in another department that was offered him that comes with better incentives because according to his boss the AKPO Project can not start up without him,if he is that important to them how come we are in this hotel? how come we have to pay about $300,000 to rent a house for one year and we must pay for 2 years upfront plus agency and lawyer’s fees? This is how the area look like it is called Victoria Garden City or VGC for short.

 The good news is that we have gotten a house,my husband went with the agent on Wednesday to see about six houses by Thursday i went with them to make a choice and by Friday it was settled. My husband is entitled to a status car but he doesn’t like the car being offered him so he needs to add about $50,000 to to get a car of his choice. My first son Chinedu took his grade 7 entrance exams today,he passed,school begins on the 7th of September and he is going to board. Kachi,Joel and Shawn have been feeling caged because of lack space to run around,did i mention that there is no cartoon channel in this Hotel? They are getting some fun now that i have bought a small DVD player to player their Barney tapes. Their school is in the same VGC .As for me i am still trying to establish a business here and it is coming up gradually,I am keeping busy with the thought of how to decorate my new home which happens to have an ocean view.I will post the photos when we move in, so far so good.

See if this sounds familiar.

It’s halfway through the year. Time for a goal review. No surprises - in good shape on some, and hitting the Wall on the tough one or two. Unfortunately, those one or two always include really important stuff. They’re goals that have to be met. And yet, every time a certain point is reached this Wall gets in the way. It’s a Wall you can’t see, it’s built of things like fear of failure, fear of unworthiness, fear of lack of ability, fear of fear, lack of resources and commitment - things that keep accomplishment from occurring.

The Wall and worthy goals go together. Sometimes it’s so tempting to set easy - to - reach standards of performance. But setting goals that don’t demand stretch means accepting the status quo - the great demon of progress and success.

Notice how the Wall only appears on the truly important, demanding, stretch goals? The goals that spell real progress, real success and real accomplishment? The Wall saves itself for the really important things.

Talk to any championship athlete in any endurance sport about the Wall. Some describe it’s effect as being hit by a fist, others describe it as an irresistible force - hard to define, but even harder to move through. Every athlete has experienced it - the top ones have somehow fought through. And at the end of their challenge they are changed people - they have a sense of their capabilities that they did not have before. They have used their goal to go from hope to belief to a level of personal confidence they never knew existed.

Talk to a Navy SEAL who has endured their training and succeeded in graduating, and you will talk to a person who has found new limits to their physical and mental endurance. And they know they can go longer and further with less than they had ever imagined. They know their mental toughness made the difference - even the best conditioned will fail without the ability to keep their heads down and take one more step. One more step toward their goal.

Your perception creates your reality. What you see is what you get. Or should I say how you choose to see determines what you get.

There is a great quote by Dr. Wayne Dyer that says - “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”. I believe that quote sums the message of this article up perfectly.

Whatever you focus on expands. If you meet someone and decide to focus on their negative or unattractive qualities, then you will begin to notice more and more negative and unattractive qualities. If, however, you meet someone and choose to focus on their positive and attractive qualities you will notice more of their attractive qualities, and they will suddenly become a very attractive person to you.

It is our choice how we choose to see and perceive things. We always get to choose how we see a person, place or a situation. Our perception determines our experience.

Life is all about perception. If you look at a homeless person, for example, and you think to yourself ‘how disgusting’, ‘he/she is so dirty’,'why don’t they get a job, like everyone else’, ‘what a loser’, etc……..

Then you will see a filthy disgusting person that is below you.

If you look at that same homeless person, and you think to yourself, ‘I send that person love’, ‘I pray that they find food today’, ‘I wonder what situation occurred in their life to put them there’, ‘How may I serve that person’, ‘I admire their peacefulness’, ‘I respect their humanity’, ‘I am one with their spirit’, etc……

Then all of a sudden they look completely different to you.You see their inner beauty, you respect them as your brother/sister, you see their humanity, you feel empathy and compassion, you see that beautiful Soul as one with yourself.

When you change the way you look at people, places or circumstances in your life, they will change. It is your choice if you want to see through fear and anger or see through love and compassion. (more…)
