Goal Setting

Tis the luck of the Irish....

Or not?

Will you be searching for a little old guy wearing a green coat and wearing a green top hat?

Irish folklore says that if you are lucky enough to catch a leprechaun he will grant you three wishes in exchange for letting him go free. It also says that he has a pot of gold hidden in Ireland. Beware if you go searching for his pot of gold that is hidden you may fall victim to his mischief.

This little fairy creature has a mischievous nature and if you manage to catch him make sure your wishes cannot be twisted by him to bring about the worst case scenario. What would you wish for?

We make our own luck.

By setting goals and following through..

So your best and safest bet would be to learn to set goals to achieve your wishes. At least you have some control of the outcome through carefully planning and implementation. You are in control of your own prosperity.  The easiest way to accomplish anything is to set goals.

Goals=dreams realized

 If you can conceive it you can receive it

Realizing your dreams into reality can be achieved. But you have to set goals. Self improvement and self growth is about setting goals 

Define the purpose

Write it out on paper

1. what is it you want to achieve?

2. Why do you want to achieve it?

3. When do you want to achieve it by?

Now you have the framework of realizing your dream.

Computer programmer’s program computers by telling what they want the computer to do every step of the way.

That’s what you have to do.

Write down every little step it takes to get to your success.

It’s like a recipe

You have the name of the dish you are going to make

Then you define the settings for the oven (if it’s getting put in an oven that is)

You have a list of ingredients that you will need to make the dish.

Then you have a precise step by step directions on the proper assembly for that dish.

Your list will look similar.

Remember, everything needs to be realistic.

You want to make sure your time definition is realistic. If it takes 3 hours to boil your beans, then it takes three hours no matter what, in one hour those beans are not going to be soft

So what is it you want to achieve?

Let’s do this together.

I want to learn to do tattoos.

To do this I will need to

Get a tattoo machine and a power supply for it, needles, inks, ink cups, patterns, transfer paper and a fake skin to practice on.

Once I have those items, I will need to learn how to assemble them.

Then I will have to learn how to set the power supply for the type of needle (shading or lining) I will be using.

Then I have to learn how to hold the machine and when to have it on or off.

Then I will have to learn how to transfer the pattern onto the fake skin.

Then I will have to practice on a fake skin.

I will also have to learn the after care of the skin after the tattoo is done.

As you will notice, I will have to learn every little step.

Which I will utilize the power of the computer to browse websites that offer advice and tips related to each of those questions. So for each item I will find a related webpage and bookmark it and label it the name of the step it will teach me.

Realistically, I will know how to do this in 3 days.

One day to set the machine up after researching how to do this online

One day to find the webpages to learn how to use the tattoo machine

And one day to begin tattooing on the fake skin.

Step by step by step, that is exactly how your GOAL will be realized.

By taking the time to do this your dreams can come true...You won’t have to go searching for a little old guy dressed in green and perhaps get misled.
