GOALS:
The Road Map to & in Wealth
There is a certain way in which we should set our goals.
What are goals really supposed to be for?
Goals get we thinking in the right way to wealth.
Goals focus our thoughts, format them in the right way for the universe, and keep our images consistent and non-random.
Hence, there is a right way to set goals.
A lot has been said before on the importance of setting goals.
This is nothing new.
What we are about to now see, however, is quite likely new to you.
We will now see how we should set goals to get to wealth fast. Setting goals is well enough, but setting goals correctly is tremendously powerful.
Welcome to the world of powerful goals! Our goals are the prophecies of what we shall one day become...
If we do not know where we are going, we will end up exactly there (where?).
If we fail to plan, we plan to fail.
If we have no specific goals, we will get no specific results.
Remember, The Source takes our thoughts, our images of our mind, and manifests them into our reality.
We see exactly how this happens scientifically in the Quantum Physics chapter.
But our thoughts and images are the blueprint by which our world is designed and created by and for us.
Goals are planned thoughts, directed thoughts.
Without planned and directed thought, our life will be unplanned and undirected, seemingly haphazard and seemingly unreliable.

Simply know where we are going and the answers as to how we will get there will come to us on their own time.
Do not worry about it. Simply believe that we will get there.
- I AM WEALTH. I AM ABUNDANCE. I AM JOY -
Our ideas, visions and dreams, whatever they may be, are the prophecies of what we shall one day become and achieve.
We can predict our outer life tomorrow by looking at our inner self today. We can change your tomorrow by changing our inner self today.

Take goals seriously.
A twenty-year study involving students in a certain Ivy League university in the USA traced the lives of one graduating class.
3% of that class had their own written goals at the start of the study.
By the end of the 20 years, that 3% who started with written goals and plans were worth more financially than the other 97% combined.
They also reported more satisfaction and joy with their lives.

The visionaries and dreamers of the world are the saviors and driving force behind it. These are the inventors, artists, philosophers, educators, sages, business people, designers, scientists, leaders, and so on - anyone who dreams big and creates.
The world lives in their ideas and ways and it cannot let their ideas die fruitlessly.
The world is beautiful because of the dreamers and visionaries.
The world and the universe as a whole are in full support of these dreams, if only the dreamer were to believe this and act that way. The universe, the world, The Source, God, is friendly and supportive of our dreams and aspirations.
Simply have a vision, believe in that vision, and we will without fail realize it to the extent that we believe we will.
All else is in our favour.
So, dream very big!
Dream very, very big indeed!

Conformity can be our worst enemy.
If we do what the crowd does, we will get what the crowd gets.
Everyday, people get up in the morning, go to work like everyone else, and do things like everyone else.
But ask them why they do it and they just do not really know.
They just work hard all day because everyone else does, and their reason for working is that they wish to pay their bills and provide for themselves and their family.
If you are 30 years old, working hard like everyone else, like the rest of the crowd, and that is all you are doing, you can easily tell, roughly, where you will be in life when you turn 50 by looking at the 50 years old crowd today.
Are most 50 year old today financially independent or wealthy?
No, they are not.
The vast majority of people today are not wealthy or financially independent.
But they could be.
If only they just did not follow the crowd just because 'it's the way it is done'.
To get something better than the crowd gets we have to do one thing different: and that is to have specific goals, reasons, visions, and wealth consciousness.
By reading this book, you have started to something different and wealth causing.
By practicing it daily, we complete the requirements for wealth.
Realistically speaking, we can be self-made wealthy and financially independent even at 18 years of age or less.
It all depends on how early, strongly, accurately, and believingly we start our goal setting, envisioning, and wealth-consciousness building.
Hard work alone is not the key to wealth. People have gotten wealthy with and without hard work.
Wealth consciousness as a whole is the key.
And goal setting in the right way is the map.

There is a mistake some people make when they achieve their goals. This mistake takes them back down. The best way to understand this mistake is to illustrate it. Let us say that a person has a goal of having a million dollars in their bank account soon, and now they have four thousand dollars in their account.
So, they do all the right things, set their goals, visualize, get certain, act and do all that. They keep their vision of that million high and they achieve it. Now when that account shows one million dollars, they get happy, of course, then they start the mistake.
And that mistake is that they now start looking at the bank account, trying to maintain their precious old goal, worrying when it drops below their goal level, and so on. They switch their sight from that of an unachieved higher goal and they start looking at the achieved past goal.
They start living in the past, trying to maintain the past. Then they start worrying, and it goes on like that until they lose that million. They stop doing what they were doing right in the first place to get to their goal, and they start living as they used to.
Always set our goals higher than our present reality. This does not mean that we are never to be satisfied with our achievement. This does not mean that you should get greedy.
No.
On the contrary, it means that we should enjoy every day without worry.
We should not worry about losing what we got.
We should not worry about maintaining that million you just made.
Instead, make the million, enjoy making it and having it, but when we reach that million, do not switch to worrying about keeping it. Instead, set a new higher goal and have our eye on that new goal, but enjoy our old successes without a worry of maintaining them.
In any case, it is folly to worry, as the worry itself is what would bring us down.
Wealth consciousness and all its activities are a lifestyle, not something we do occasionally.
Our thoughts, being and goals should always be on the next grander version of us, not the past version.

Be careful how we set your goals and visions. The heart, also called the subconscious, has a tendency to take in and internalize the un-negated part of a vision or statement.
For example, if one of our goals is to never miss paying our bills on time again, it can be harmful to make the goal statement 'I will never miss paying my bills again'. That is because only the 'miss paying my bills again' may be taken in, due to the bringing up of fear that statement brings about as soon as you say it.
Instead, make it out to be 'there is always more than enough money to live the life I choose, to enjoy myself and to invest'.

Failing to plan is planning to fail.
Plan and set goals and visualize them.
Master this skill.
