Reach UP and Grab It - It's Yours!

Posted: Sat 04/07/2012 11:31 PM | By: Quintella Bounds

Have you ever thought about starting your own business, going back to school to get your degree, buying the car of your dreams, or just going on that dream vacation?  What is it that continues to stop you from reaching your ultimate goal?  I’ll be honest; the only obstacle that stood between me and my aspirations were ME, MYSELF AND I!  It wasn’t my family, friends, or co-workers – it was me.  I was so afraid of being successful that I was settled on mediocre. 



It wasn’t until I learned strategies on achieving my goals.  Yes, I had to learn how to achieve what God had instilled within me.  First, I made a list of the things I wanted to accomplish in this life.  Then, I prioritized my list by placing the uncomplicated items at the bottom of my list and checking them off so that I could feel immediate success.  Next, I moved the complicated goals to the top of the list.  I knew those items would take longer to obtain so I located pictures and hung them on the wall in my bedroom so that every morning I would have a reminder.  I wrote my list ten years ago, and today I have completed all but one task from that list. 

Well, this week I’m going to write a new list, the only difference this time is I know I will be successful.  Share your story, what has hindered you from achieving your ultimate goal?  Write your list on my blog and I guarantee you, you will be successful!
