Goals are Damaging!
(c) 2005 John Di Lemme
First
off... I'd like you to forget everything that you've ever heard
about setting goals and here's why.
Can you relate to setting goals and not achieving them? Have
you ever been frustrated by trying to set goals when you know
in your heart that you will never reach them? You even say to
yourself, "Who am I kidding? I will never accomplish this goal."
That's why I'm here to tell you that goals are truly damaging
for your future, because you beat yourself up over never reaching
those goals.
On the other hand... *Goals are very important* Don't let me
confuse you with this just read this carefully.
Goals are imperative only when you have a strong *Why*
in place. Let's parallel this to a ten-story glass building
that is shiny and beautiful to the eye. It towers over the city
and creates the skyline. Now let's imagine that the building
was built by a group of amateur carpenters in one day and had
a very poor foundation. It looked very nice, but wasn't solid.
One day a little bird flew and smacked into that building. Guess
what happened? That little, tiny sparrow knocked down that massive
building that looked amazingly strong and powerful from the
outside. Why? The foundation was pathetic, and there were no
true roots to hold that building in place. No one paid the price
for that building to hold its own in the real world despite
how it looked to the average person.
Let's tie that into your goals. Your "Why" is *Your Foundation
and Your Roots* Your "Why" must be stronger and bigger than
you are right now!
You must internalize your “Why” and know exactly “Why” you do
what you do everyday to reach your goals.

Too
many people have set the goals of making a lot of money. Can
you relate to that? Have you ever set the goal of making a certain
amount of money in a month, and then at the end of the month
you haven't made a dime more?
Here's the reason why... You must know "Why" you want to earn
that amount of money for that month. It's not the money that
drives you…it's your "Why"! What are you going to do with that
money? Pay your car payment, donate it to your church, buy your
child a new toy…
"Why" have you set that financial goal for that month? Another
thing, you should never set a goal of "making" a certain amount
of money in a month. Instead, after you know "Why" you are setting
that financial goal, then set a goal of EARNING that money not
MAKING that money.
Remember, no one paid that price for that beautiful ten-story
building, and it fell. You must be willing to pay the price
and EARN your way to your goal.
Let's go over this again. Goals are *Damaging* to your future.
If you don't have your "Why" in place, then you have no foundation
to support you as you head down your success path to completing
that goal. Without that foundation, you will give up and be
discouraged from ever setting goals for yourself again.
It doesn't matter what type of goal - physical, financial, social,
etc. - you must know "Why" you are going pay the price to achieve
that goal.
If not, then that goal could damage your life instead of assisting
you in ultimately achieving success that you've always dreamed
about.

Commit
today to develop your "Why" before setting any more goals!
Let me share 3 questions with you that will help you "Find Your
Why".
1. If you did not have to worry about finances or going to your
job on Monday morning, then what would you do?
2. If you had so much money that you had to give it away, what
would you do with it? Who would you give it to and why?
3.Do you enjoy life? If so, why? If not, then why not? Remember,
*Your Past does not Control You*! Your future should drive you,
because you see yourself successful!
After you develop your "Why" and set your goals, you will encounter
obstacles and challenges like that little bird that hit that
huge building. If your "Why" is strong enough, then unlike that
building you will stand firm against whatever tries to stop
you from achieving that goal. You will not be knocked down!
Remember, goals are damaging if you don't have a foundational
"Why" in place. I challenge you today to ask yourself those
three questions, develop your "Why" and then set your goals.
