Having trouble remembering your new year’s resolutions? As time passes, those ideas that seemed so wonderful at the start of the year may now be just a fond memory. Why not try a different approach? Studies show that achievers reach their goals more often because they set “want” goals instead of “should” goals. That is, they work toward accomplishing things that are desirable for them, not just the things they have to do.

So, do you have a dream? Something that you’ve always wanted to do? Take a vacation to a special place; go back to school and get an advanced degree; learn another language; play the piano, skydive??? Your dreams may be completely different from mine, but that’s what makes life interesting.

The next thing achievers know how to do is pick a goal apart and determine very specific steps to accomplish that goal. Some of us never start doing something because it seems overwhelming. So, what is one, very specific thing you can do that will move you in the direction of your dream? Send for a brochure, make a phone call for information, register for one class. OK, now…..when are you going to do this? Don’t just leave it open ended. Give yourself a deadline. “I will send for this brochure tomorrow.” “I will register for that class by next week.”

Now….DO IT! Just take that first step and then you can think of the next thing, and the next and the next. If this process sounds familiar to some of you who have studied goal setting in business….it is. Because this method works whether you are working toward something in your private life or at work.

But remember, what we’re talking about here is moving you toward one of your dreams. Once you’ve used the process and find that it works, and it’s fun and satisfying, you’ll be better equipped to move toward the things you want in life. You may be closer than you think…..just Reach Higher.

You may have noticed our company logo and theme “Reach Higher”. Did you know…..

• The dove is universally recognized as a symbol of peace; it transcends all cultures & traditions.

• In Christianity, the dove is a symbol of God’s Holy Spirit.

• In the Chinese culture, the dove is associated with longevity and peace.

A lofty symbol, wouldn’t you agree? I picked the dove because it has special meaning to me and I was happy to learn the above information.

But the dove is not some exotic bird….it is a member of the pigeon family. A very ordinary and common bird.

Well, I like that even better, because it shows how an ordinary creature can start from humble beginnings, reach great heights and be a powerful force.

And that is what we will encourage you to do….to “Reach Higher” and develop your potential.
