When I was in my 30’s, I had some “revelations.” I realized that there is incredible value in setting goals. On my journey to understand success, I spent quite a bit of time researching successful people, their concepts and strategies. One of the overwhelmingly common characteristics that successful people share is goal setting. Up until this point, I had been aware of goal setting but I had never really done it formally. Sure, I had New Year's resolutions like everyone else, but I had no formal training in the process required to set goals that lead to success.
After studying the works of Napoleon Hill, it became increasingly obvious to me that to accomplish what I want, I need to focus on it, commit it to memory, and act upon it immediately. One of the terms that Hill uses is Definiteness of Purpose. This term requires total commitment to a goal by focusing your daily thoughts on the attainment of your goal. When we turn our mind loose and allow it to work on our clearly articulated 'definateness of purpose', what we need always becomes available. So, determine your definiteness of purpose, focus on it and keep the faith!
