These goals were originally written in 2005, but I’ve updated them to number in the 30s, 40s, both for public and/or “mental goals.” I’ve got to update this list periodically because I’ve written down goals and dreams in various places.
But statistically, those that write down their goals and dreams end up – 40 percent of them, according to financial gurus – fulfilling them. Of the 41 that I know for a fact I’ve got, I’ve fulfilled 32 of them (the rest will be released as soon as I find where I wrote them.)
Here’s the original list:
When life gets to be too much, just ponder what your dreams and goals are, and read them every single day; print them out and post them on a bulletin board – you will be surprised how much your thinking will change.Studies show that those who write down their goals are more apt to fulfill them.
Here are mine, to give you an idea:
