What do you want? Do you want to be extraordinary rich, in top shape and healthy or found a cute little family which lives in a picturesque house? Did you ask yourself this question?

Everybody has a goal in life, if not he wouldn’t be living. Studies have shown that in a couple of two older people, without family, one deceases, chances are that the remaining partner will die shortly.

Why is that? What keeps you getting up every morning? For most people it is their job. If they don’t get up, the will be late and have trouble. Did you ever have one of these days where you just stayed in bed the whole day? You didn’t have a purpose do get up.

So what is your goal? For some people it means the pursuit of a better life. For others it represents to improve their carrier. Some others seek financial freedom. This is very personal and every person has different goals. It is like a fingerprint. It makes you unique.

Why do we need goals? A goal is by definition a result which we want to achieve because we think our situation will improve after succeeding. This must not real be the case, we just have to be convinced that it is true. Goals get us going. Imagine yourself sitting in your car and not knowing where to go. I’m 100% sure you wont go anywhere.

Don’t waste your time pursuing an unimportant goal. Elaborate it! Ask yourself if you would really feel better if you would achieve it. Sometimes we just assume it will improve our situation, but after some thinking, we recognize that I wont help at all, or just momentary. Focus on what you really want. Take some time now!

In a further post I will show you how to achieve your goals easily and consistently. In the meantime you can check out Five Tips For Making Goals That Stick on sethigherstandarts.com written by Ravi Raman.

Look at any Cosmopolitan you want, you will recognize the following pattern. In the first part of the print, you will find slim, good looking, rich and successful models, actresses, etc…They want to build desire within you to be like them.

In the second part of the magazine you will find all sorts of products which help you to be like them (that is what they want you to think). Total manipulation.

When you see this picture your brain tries to find out how to be like them and then it is provided with the solution (the products). As your brain has found a solution, it feels satisfied. That’s why we read such kind of magazine. And that’s how the medias work. You find the same principle, a little bit adapted, in Hollywood movies, any kind of soaps, novels, etc…

This leads to the conclusion that we are satisfied by solutions, but what makes us happy?

Social programming tells us that we have to be well educated and get a safe and secure job. So many of us assume that money, coming form your job, makes you happy. But that’s not true. I’m sure you know this. You worked hard a couple of years and got eventually that raise, which aloud you to move in a bigger house. First all was happy-go-lucky. But after some time, the satisfaction was gone and you wanted something other. An even bigger house, a faster car, a shining home cinema set, etc… And you were sure that this would improve your life. But it doesn’t. So money isn’t THE thing.

It is very easy to be happy, once you’ve understood the main principle. We feel happy when we achieve our goals. Ever had that urge to tidy up the house or to clean the garage for about a month before you actually did it. How did you feel after you completed the task. Wasn’t it a relief? Please proof me wrong put I allege that everyone has a sense of delight, when someone accomplishes a goal he was really committed to.

So please set your goals now and get going the unique, wonderful and limitless experience called life.

So long,
