I Should, I Must, I Will, I Did!Written by Gordon Bryan
Ever found yourself saying ‘Ooh, I really should do this, I really should do that’?Of course you have, everyone has, myself included. The trouble is, whatever thing is that you ‘really should do’, will just stay as some wishy washy task sometime in future. It’s a goal achievement killer, an eternal get-out clause, because ‘I should’ is usually followed by ‘but I can’t because…’, or until, or unless, etc, etc For goal achievement to work, goal needs to be clearly defined, you need to desire goal badly enough, and you need to believe for certain that it will happen. Without these 3 in place, your goal will stay stuck at ‘I should’ stage. Once you *do* have definition, desire, and belief in place though, you will realise that ‘I should’ changes to ‘I must’, or goal will not come to fruition. This is progress, but to move on, you need your attitude to be correct, another goal achievement essential. If you are at ‘I must’ stage, then your attitude is in right direction, but you need to realise that your goal will not happen without action, which is one of, if not *the* most important secret of success. Action unleashes power. Power within yourself, and also external power, bringing unplanned opportunites to your door. Once you have attitude of action sorted out, you will move in to ‘I will’ stage.

On other side of course!!! (Bet you knew that was coming, eh?)Doesn’t make for a very long article though, does it! So let’s ask if it’s actually true. ‘Is it actually true?’ Er, well no, really. It certainly *looks* greener, oh yes, but for all you know it could be plastic astro-turf. Don’t concentrate on other side of fence anyway, look to your own side. Get out lawnmower, and trim that unnecessary straggly stuff. Get some lawn seed, and sprinkle liberally. Use that watering can, and clear away those broken shopping trolleys. Oooh, you’ll end up with a lovely bit of lawn! Ok, ok, enough, but you get idea? The grass being greener on other side is just an illusion. Other people’s lives being better and happier than yours is also just an illusion. Firstly, you have no idea what actually goes on behind what you see, and secondly there is a whole football stadium full of people who would jump at chance to have your life, because it looks that much better than theirs!
