Goal Setting!

October 28, 2008

Setting goals for your life is very important. You get to choose what you want to accomplish in your lifetime, and setting goals help you get there. It helps you create focus, and achieve more.

There are 3 types of goals you can set.

  1. Short term goals – 1 to 2 year period
  2. Intermediate term goals – 2 to 5 year period
  3. Long term goals – 5 to 10 year period

What areas can you set your goals for?

  • Family Goals
  • Financial Goals
  • Health Goals
  • Spiritual Goals

When you set you goals, make sure they are bite-size achievable goals. What I mean by this is, let’s say you are making $40,000/year right now. Don’t set your short-term goal to make $1,000,000/year. It can be your intermediate or long-term goal.

Make your goals specific. The more you write down your goal in detail, the better. It will crystallize your vision. For example, don’t just say, I want a house. Write down, I want a brown colored, colonial with 5 bedrooms, 2 car garage on a 3 acre property.

Write a date next to your goal. So, you know when you want them accomplished by. If you don’t write the date, you don’t have a deadline. You could be pursuing a short-term goal for the rest of your life.

If possible, inter-connect your goals. Make your short-term goals part of your intermediate goals. Make your intermediate goals, part of your long-term goals.

Keep those goals in your pocket and look at the several times a day. This will program your subconscious mind to focus on achieving your goals.

And finally, once you accomplish your goals, set new goals. Because, if a person is not working towards a goal, he is not living life to its fullest.

Hope this helped. Let me know what you think.

What is your brain worth?

October 27, 2008

Do you know how much is your brain worth? Or, do you need a check-up from your neck-up? :-) It sounds so funny – check-up from your neck-up. I personally believe, that every human brain is worth about $3 Billion, at the very least. I mean, look at how fast your brain can operate. It does about 20,000 Trillion calculations per seconds. Don’t believe it? You ever see something or read something and all of a sudden your brain travels back in time and remembers a person or an event related to your reading or seeing? That’s right. It takes lots of calculations to do something like that for a computer. Your brain does that in an instant. Your brain is worth #3 Billion if you need it and nourish it properly. I don’t mean, you would get $3 Billion by selling your brain, but your brain has the ability to make you that much money in your lifetime.

This actually reminded me of a joke … A person was seriously ill into the hospital. His family was at the hospital to give him Moral support. At one point, the doctor came out and told the family, that it was imperative that the patients brain be changed, otherwise he could die. Doctor said, “It doesn’t matter whether we install a female brain or a male brain. It is all the same. There’s just a cost difference.” A family member asked, “How much is the cost difference?”. Doctor said, “A female brain costs $500 where as the male brain costs $5,000.” Obviously the males in the room seemed to be very proud. They tried not to smile or smirk. However, one male in the room couldn’t resist and asked the doctor about the difference. Doctor explained, “A female brain costs less because it is always very used. A male brain costs so much is because it is hardly ever used.”

Hope you had a good laugh, regardless of whether you are a male or female. Anyways, most people spend lots of money every day to feed their body neck-down. But, very few people invest their time and money in feeding their body neck-up. If you look at how money is made, people who use neck-down part of their body at their jobs make very less money compared to people who mostly use their brain to make money. Ever think about it?

Question is how do you feed your brain every day? You read books … books that inspire you, fill your brain with positive thoughts, books that encourage and provide ways for you to become better. You associate with people who are in life where you want to be. You dis-associate with people who are in life where you don’t want to be.

Take action now. You can do it. You can change your life and make it better. It will help you and your family. It worked for me, and it will for you also. Hope I helped.
