Homer Hickam wasn't good in algebra. In fact, he was almost failing. Yet, this teenager wanted to become a rocket scientist. He grew up in a coal mining town in West Virginia where only way to college was through a football scholarship.

It didn't make sense that someone with his background and his lack of abilities could become a rocket scientist. Yet. He did. Despite what others thought of his dreams, he focused on them and was determined to accomplish them.

Peter Drucker noted that, "whenever anything is being accomplished, it is being done, I have learned, by a monomaniac with a mission." There's much to say about moderation. But not when it comes to your dreams and goals.

If you keep vision of your life in front of you all time, you won't pay attention to judgments of others. After all, I'm sure plenty of folks let Kirk Franklin know that he did not sing well.

And look where he is now.

To achieve your goal you must have a plan and you must take action. Write down what you will do and how you will do it.

Visualize your goal. Put your emotions into it such as how it makes you feel after you achieved it, how you will celebrate, what it will bring or do for you etc.

Visualize you goal every morning and evening. The more you visualize more you will do to achieve it. Have such a passion for your goal that you will do whatever is necessary to obtain it.

Practice these techniques and you will find when desire is there, your subconcious mind will help you get it!
