Personally, I love more goal achievement information. The more knowledge you have on setting and getting goals, the better chance you have at achieving them.

You got it! Glad you enjoyed it.

At one point I was rewriting my goals each night before going to bed. I finally grew tired of it, since it took way too long to rewrite my pages and pages of goals! =)

Great article! I have found that goal setting really is the key to success. Brian Tracy says that it helps to rewrite your main goals each morning. He says that this helps to embed the goals deeper and deeper into your subconscious mind. Also the more detail that you can add to the goal and the more emotion attached to it the more likely that you will manifest what you want. Thanks again for the great post.

Alexander,

Knowing that we matter… that’s really powerful… somewhere up there with food and shelter isn’t it?

What a great point and some great tips too!

There is little doubt that “making a difference” is one of our major psychological needs. Studies show that when you put people in a situation where they’re powerless, they lose all hope very quickly.

We need to know that we can get stuff done, create results, make a difference, influence our surroundings. We need to know that we matter!

Hey Donald. Your comment got me thinking… other than goal setting, what other things is it okay (or beneficial) to get addicted to?

This question goes out to everyone.

I love your idea of positive addiction! I tended to think of addiction as something negative, but you’re right that there are positive things we can – or even should – be addicted to.
