Thursday: Goals

"By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands — your own." ~Mark Victor Hansen

As a career coach I find myself saying more often then I like, “I can only show you the way, but you actually have to do the work.” Or, “I’m here to provide you all help you want, but you have to a: want it, and b: do something with it.”

I found this quote when looking for something on setting goals, but what really spoke to me was the notion of taking control of your own future. It seems so easy to blame your current circumstances on some other set of external circumstances… You don’t have time; it’s too hard… But the reality is if you don’t like it, do something about it!

Only YOU can prevent forest fires… only YOU!
