Last week Hyacinth, my daughter and assistant, sent you all an email asking you to give us feedback regarding your preference for a written blog or a video blog. Just as we suspected, an over whelming amount of you prefer a video blog. Many of you echoed the belief that a picture is worth more than a thousand words. We agree, and thank you all for your comments. However, in the spirit of literacy and in support to our undying quest for excellence, we have decided to do both.
Here's why. We are quickly becoming a nation of lookers and spectators; we have become mind numbing habitual viewers of senseless TV programs that lack substance (reality TV, etc.). We cannot afford not to read. There is power in the written word.
Reading forces us to think; it promotes comprehension. Reading and writing are the tools that bring forth the wonders of our imagination. Before a motion picture is made, it must first be written, and then read with comprehension before it's birthed into reality.
With that said, let's move right into Achieving Goals, which also must be written.
Actually, to be quite honest, most of us achieve our goals each and every day whether we realize it or not.
Think about it for a moment; most people set goals each day that are easy to accomplish. In fact, most of our goals aren't really goals at all, they're habits. Think about it, your goal for this morning was to get up, get dressed, eat some breakfast and go to work (if you're lucky to have a job); your goal today or tomorrow might be to visit your beautician or barber.
The point here is, we have trained ourselves and conditioned our minds to set the bar of achieving goals so low, that our goals have become our everyday habits. Most of us eat so much food until eating less food has become the top goal in America. You see, I don't think achieving ones goals is all that difficult.
Drunkard John has a goal of getting drunk tonight; he's been doing it for 20 years and there's little doubt he won't accomplish his goal. Two Quarters Slick Willie has his usual goal of creeping tonight and you better believe that he's going to accomplish his goal.
Listen up folks, a real goal should be something that will challenge your potential. It should be something that requires self discipline and a strong will power. Upon completion, the goals that you set will help you discover the true power that lives within you. Come on! Let's achieve some meaningful goals.
Join me on March 10th, 2010 at 7pm for our next workshop; we will go into more detail on achieving your goals.
The class will be held at The Universal Truth Center in Miami Gardens, FL.
You must call and register to attend the workshop as, seating is limited.

Hey Rob,
ReplyDeleteI think that's a great idea of doing both. I know people would prefer to see what you're saying but as we all learned when we were young.... Reading is Fundamental!
Great Choice!!!!
Robert, I think you are right about the written word. It is so important that we don't get sucked it to watching all the information that we receive from video and tv and that we don't forget how important it is to educate outselves through reading.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I agree with you about writing down our goals, and how powerful it can actually can be. Remember those who fail to plan, plan to fail.
