What I NEED to do.

I've always hated letting my goals be known, its always been too dangerous, too emotionally hurting if people around me find out that I did not acheive what I said I would. I hate that. I punish myself enough for not achieving, I dont need anymore from people around me.

Every seminar I attend, every self-help article I read, everyone who is anyone always keeps telling me that I need to write it down. I need to write my goals on a piece of paper. I've always thought of the meaning behind that. Perhaps it's to remind yourself, perhaps we do this to inspire oursevles, perhaps we do this so that we can concentrate on finding the path towards the goal.

I have always tried to simulate the results of writing a goal on paper by repeating my goal to myself repetitiously, I've tried to inspire myself by relating everything that i do towards my goal. I realise, that writing it down on a piece of paper does all that for you. It automatically induces these simulations into you, so rather than having to put so much effort into forcing yourself to be inspired and reminded, a little piece of paper does the trick.

heh...I have yet to rewrite my goals.

It was my plan last year to work, and PARTY! I told myself that I was going to give myself this treat for being such a good girl and studying ALL my life, and then jumping straight to work without ever having a break to myself. I think I did a good job last year. I did ALOT of partying! Now my goal is to settle down a little, do less partying, and more serious stuff. I think this will be the beginning of success, and a long learning process to come.

I will work towards persuing my MBA, nothing else will budge me. This is my goal. I will be totally and completely focused. Everything I do and everything I work on will be for the sole purpose of completing or enhancing my persual of this part of my life.
