Imagine process of goal achievement as a guided missile.

The missile launch is where you are now in your life, and target is goal you have set.

Do guided missiles travel in a straight line? Of course they don’t, they can go all over place! They end up at target though.

It’s same with goal achievement. Yes, you need a plan on how to get to your goal, and yes, specifics can be good. Flexibility is vital though.

You need to be able to assess those opportunities that come your way. Some of them will amaze you, believe me, and you have to be ready to accept some, and decline others.

Other times your plan may not be quite working, and if you stick to it too rigidly, you can just end up stressed because your formula isn’t working, when in fact all it needs is maybe a little tweaking.

So remember, flexibility is required asset, and you can’t have *that* if you insist on ‘t-crossing’ and ‘i-dotting’!

You will notice a lessening of your stress levels, which in turn will leave you more energised. The more energised you are, more motivation you feel, which will allow you to take decisive action in all areas of your life.

Of course what I’m not saying here, is that life is always rosey, because it isn’t. (Blimey, this isn’t Sesame Street!) Bad things happen to all of us (including on Sesame Street), but it is a choice as to whether you let bad things break you or pass over you.

So even though your reaction might be only thing you can control about tomorrow, it’s a powerful, powerful tool.

It’s a free tool, and all happy people you know? They all use it!
