Recently, as I was driving home beyond Hope, I began thinking about what it really means to live beyond hope. Hope is about wishing for something to occur in future. It implies uncertainty and longing. You want something and do not know if you will get it.

I'm sure you've already heard a thousand times how important it is to set goals. You've heard saying; if you don't know where you're going, how will you know when you get there. Thousands of successful people attribute most of their success to goal setting. Knowing this, why don't majority of people set goals?

Goal setting starts within you. Your have to believe it's possible to do a thing before you will have a strong desire to write it down on paper and take steps to make it happen.

How do you possibly bring yourself to believe in your own success? After all, so many of you have been at this success thing for a while and it still hasn't happened for you. Companies that you believed in and worked hard for have failed, your family and friends are waiting for you to "be realistic", and life just keeps giving you one blow after another. But there's a small fire burning inside of you. You keep at it because all you know is you can't continue to get up every morning, go to work for someone else and allow them to determine how much you're worth each week (which is far below you true value).

So where do you go from here? Where do you start today? The road to inner belief in your success begins with you telling yourself everyday, throughout day, that you can do what you set out to do, you can have what you set out to get, you can be that successful person you know lives inside of you. Yes obstacles will come, doubters will be around, but don't you be one of them.
