Motivation for Goal Setting

I know half the world is just beginning Summer, and it’s a big temptation to take a bit of a break until September.

But the cold hard facts are that in just a few weeks we’re going to be at the halfway point in 2010. If you expect anything to change in your life THIS YEAR, you’ve got just about six months to do it.

Now understand this, that’s plenty of time IF you’re using the “secret” ingredient of every successful person I know.

This video will help you discover and use that ingredient.

After you’ve watched the video I’d appreciate it if you’d leave your comments below. And if it’s helpful to you, please Share It with a friend (or your teammates).

    Thank you for the reminder of what is important in setting goals

  2. bob shearer Says:

    Hi. It was good. Lots of positive stuff. Stuff I heard before but i’m big into cd’s. Good for the novice. Don’t like fail in the title.
    Thanks

  3. Andrea Orsini Says:

    Thank you for the validation Vic! I have put myself at great risk–have risked everything — to do my work in the world. If white hot desire is what it takes, I’ll succeed.

    Blessings,

    Andrea

  4. Sarah Rivard Says:

    Thank you. Well done, great reminders of what we often know but never hurts to be reminded or rekindled. If I could just keep bombarding myself with these type of messages and positivity, the everyday negativity would not be able to keep up with me.

  5. Dianne Says:

    Desire is the one thing that keeps me working at winning the lotto jackpot! I have persisted for years and prayed and now I can feel myself coming closer to reaching that goal!

  6. Chase Greye Says:

    Thank you so very much for this wonderful video. I am so happy that I looked at it….Have a great night…

  7. Zing Says:

    Thanks, Vic!

  8. Lance Says:

    Thanks for the insights. Great stuff. The unbridled desire and the determination is absolutely needed to achieve ones goals! What is also needed after that is the plan, because if you fail to plan – plan to fail. That is say break it down to smaller goals. I agree with Bob, the title should be positive such as “11 ways to succeed.

  9. Loren Forest Says:

    One of the things I continually remind myself goes hand-in-hand with the idea of setting big goals. That is, as Napoleon Hill also points out, “There is a difference between WISHING for a thing, and being READY to receive it.” Our readiness is rooted in our belief. Our belief, in turn, is enabled by an attitude of open-mindedness. With a fully open mind, which allows ALL possibilities, no goal is “too” large. Thank you for your video.

  10. Richard Says:

    Thank you Vic for continually sharing with us and for reminding us to “Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream so shall you become.” !

    That is how I will start my day tomorrow!

  11. Steve Troutman Says:

    I really enjoyed the talk Vic. The subject is close to my heart right now.
    I have had financial problems for years because of my lack of belief in myself and my dreams. I’m now reading the book “The magic of Thinking Big” and you message had great timing.

    I am beginning to come around and starting to think that I can succeed. Yes I can!

    Thanks,
    Steve

  12. Derek Says:

    Vic – Great message as always. I can dream big and do, everyday (but did not do it until I took your Champions Club 2007 program – life changer).

    Regarding the dreaming big, I make sure that every night when my son goes to bed he is asked to , “Dream Big!” I did not have this insight and I can only hope he uses it to his advantage as he gets older and sets and surpasses all of my dream for him.

  13. Nicholas Says:

    Vic,
    Thank you for this great reminder. I’ve been trying to dig my dreams back out from a place I must have created a long time ago. When I felt my comfort zone threatened by a few recent challenges, I began to question my voice, my own worth. I’d just like to thank you for putting it so simply.

  14. Warren Hopkins Says:

    The video hits a great point. I learned early in my lessons that confirmation was easily accomplished on things I truly believed possible and this video offered a great reminder of that point. Also great idea for “rekindling” goals. I know this message was meant to be one of those “coincidences” that you need to look for when walking toward true enlightenment.

  15. Deanna Nalley Says:

    Thank you for the inspiration and encouragement! I need the reminder to dream again and to BELIEVE in myself. Awesome video that I will forward to my team and friends. Thank you.

  16. A Says:

    Wonderful.

  17. Jenny & Angel Says:

    Hey Vic:

    Thank you for sharing..this is very refreshing..a way to ease the pain
    of not knowing what’s happening with oneself..

    This is greatly appreciated!!

  18. Marva Says:

    White hot desire, I will remember this when I begin to doubt myself. Thank you Vic!

  19. susie Says:

    Thanks for the reminder!! I love the idea of taking 20 minutes and writing down 101 things to have, do, be….
    Sometimes doing for ourselves doesn’t seem worthwhile enough.. so I subscribe to doing for others and the rewards will simply come our way!
    Good evening from Colorado!

  20. SBDhar Says:

    Hi !
    Thanks a lot for the nice reminding to recall always the goal settings, Vic.

  21. logan bryan Says:

    Well,
    hello it’s a real pleasure listening to a person that freely for the listener to absorb such pos. insight for strengtening their brain for thinking & helping one to accomplish anything they want. I’ve watched the secret numerous times and it’s the truth no neg. or freeze your thoughts thinking the doubtful because there isn’t. If one thinks correctly possibilities are unlimited.
    Thank you,

    Hi Vic,

    Thanks so much for this awesome reminder! I’ve shared this video with all my friends and fans on facebook.

    Now I’m definitely going to achieve my BIG goal for this year!

    God bless!

  25. K.C Hager Says:

    Thank you for the reminder, Vic. Finding my DESIRE has been my biggest obstacle, so I appreciate another exercise to help me dream big. I know it will give me that spark that I need. Stay as positive with your wording as you can. The positive wording will help to build more upbeat energy in any additional videos that you are doing. To your continued success, K.C

  26. The Spiritual Tow Truck Says:

    Thank you Vic! I like the way you “bring it home.”

    Too many people give-up on their dreams, or never dare to have them, or never even dare to believe they could have them.

    People don’t realize it, but many of them have been conditioned to believe that success is immoral, or at least, spiritually decadent. I would like to hear you talk about THAT…America needs that…especially NOW.

    Like Tony Robbins says: “The past does NOT equal the future.”

    Here’s to a new future. : )

    Vic
    Thanks a million for sharing… What a great idea to stoke that white hot fire ! Never thought of making those goals “in a child state of mind” Consider it done !!! Awesome, thanks and many continued blessings your way !!

  32. Janet Says:

    Vic — I’m grateful for the insight and wisdom you always have to share. It is clearly from the heart and I find that to be very inspiring. Your message gives encouragement in keeping sight of my goal, I’ve been getting a little closer all the time over the past, say, 30 years and I just won’t give up. I believe I’m going to get there this year.

    God bless.

  33. Jeffrey Says:

    Good stuff with lots of reminders and smart tips. Thanks for posting. Now I’m off to dream BIG.

  34. Bala Says:

    Thanks for reminding me how to turn on the energy generator within!

  35. Gill Emerton Says:

    This reminds me again that we can and do create our reality – life sometimes gets in the way and I loose it. This is a great reminder. Thanks for the daily mails

  36. Earl Jones Says:

    Vic – good points made. When I set the goals high, I always reach them. When I set them low, I just ignore them. Also, you did remind me of one thing I have always wanted to do – go to law school.

  37. Christopher Says:

    Thanks Vic! It’s great to have a reminder like that.

    There are many wise words in this video, and everyone who watches and listens will find something that connects to their ambitions.

    Keep living your dreams!

  38. Aaron Says:

    I’m looking forward to the dream setting excercise you shared. I am putting time in my planner to do just that.

  41. M-Factor Says:

    Thanks Vic.
    Very inspirational, and required during these challenging times! :)

  42. Kay Says:

    Thanks for such an inspirational talk!
    It is a great reminder and a memory booster or jogger!!
    You know that you’ve never really thought BIG,
    but you never stopped to think WHY.
    And now the exercise might just reset your thinking and realization.
    Now I see the “Secret Ingredient!”

    Thanks again, and I look forward to more such inspirational talks!
    May all the success be with you.

  43. Unnikrishnan Says:

  45. Sumit Mathur Says:

    This session was quite good and the thing about writing down 101 goals kind of inspires.

    I’ll definitely follow the positive advices :)

  50. Tonton Says:

    It is a blessing to be reminded to pursue your dreams. Sometimes you put them on hold to attend to the everyday things.

    Perserverance will show results.

    Thank you for taking the time to share. May you be blessed for your generosity.

  51. Claes Strom Says:

    You are a blessed man Vic,

    I’ve learned so much from you!

  52. Annette Says:

    My dreams are long standing and hot, but not yet white hot. I have not dumped all the childhood baggage that I have lived with. There is still a block; I know what it is; and I am working on removing that. Thank you for the pep talk and my 101 list! AWY

  53. Trina L.C. Sonnenberg Says:

    Thank you, you have re-motivated me. I have had a lifelong dream of being an author, so I finally sat down and penned a manuscript. I was not getting anywhere trying to get an agent to look at it, so I published it myself. Promoting the book has been a challenge, but this video has inspired me to keep at it. Thank you again for your effort. Incidentally, the manuscript is my memoir, and demonstrates how the Law of Attraction has worked in my life to bring me my perfect mate, among other things.

    Thank you Vic….I Love it …”.Dream Lofty Dreams, and as you dream so shall you become “-James Allen, So simple

  55. oliver mc kenna Says:

    Vic, yes i liked the nice short and snappy video. Especially the 101 goals in 20 minutes- have written that on top of a blnk page- so am going to do that exercise. Facinated to see what i come up with-will share my experience when done. Thanks Oliver

  56. Mel Hickman Says:

    Funny I receive this today in email, I just watched it in the late night early morning on Youtube. I enjoyed it then and the story of persistence was extremely motivational. There have been several things I have tried, failed about 3 times and given up. Boy does that make me rethink life. LOVED THIS. Thanks much

  57. Gerarda Says:

    Loved the “white-hot desire” description! Loved hearing how much this “white-hot desire” will effect my dreams and goals! … I’m further on my way!! Thanks!

  58. Ken Says:

    Vic,

    You are dead on, when you speak to goals that motivate…that captivate…that create energy just by thinking about them. And inspiring others to create those goals is exactly what we need.

    The questions you rolled across the screen were excellent. I’d like to see you do more in this vein – again, helping indecisive folks find themselves and helping them create a goal for themselves worth achieving. So many people, for instance, know that losing weight would add nothing but benefits to their life – it’s all good. Why don’t they do it, then? Is their vision weak? Their imagination dull? The end result not motivating enough? This is only one very common example. I’d like to see you do more work in this area. I agree with many others a negative title like “Why Goals Fail” is disconcerting, though I was intrigued by it, Perhaps something more like “How to Successfully Accomplish Your Goals” or “11 Secrets to Making Your Goals Happen (or Realizing Your Goals”). Whatever you do, stick with the subject of goals – I think that’s very important, pertinent and very useful.

    Lastly, the positioning of the text is often obscured by the by-line at the bottom (www.goals2go.com). Either lower the by-line and make it smaller or raise the text box higher, but either way it needs adjustment.

    I always admire your work, Vic. Keep it up.

  59. Ruann Says:

    Thanks. That was great!

  60. Lucy Says:

    Thank you Vic for this video. I know that its true because I’m living proof of what you said about persistence. I’m finally starting to reap abundance from the seeds I sowed into my business years ago. Sometimes one has to change before change can happen to someone. Be persistent, don’t ever quit because quitters never win and winners never quit.

  61. ev Says:

    Great Reminder…. and exercise. As always, thanks for sharing.

  62. Paul B. Taubman, II Says:

    Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

    I have a list of goals that I actively monitor and work towards. I learned a lot in the Champion’s Club and continue to apply your teachings!

    Thanks for everything!
    Be Well.

  63. Sharon Bellrose Says:

    Thank-you for this info about goals and having a white hot desire. James Allan has been an influence in my life for many years but never realized this concept could give me the desires lifestyle that I always dreamed of untill Nov 2010 wnen I was introduced to Fortune, a thanks to Paul Orbison also.

  64. Marlene Bryan Says:

    Vic…

    Thank you so much for the words of inspiration. This is the first time that I have actually stopped to watch one of your video. It was worth the 10 minutes. They say nothing happens before it’s time and this is a timely message you share. Thanks for reminding me that I need to dream big dreams and do my best to live them.

    Marlene

  65. Carlo Rinaldi Says:

    And what happens if you discover that “No aim is worth of you”? like Jesus said in Thomas Evangelium? Literally JEsus said: “Who discovers the world, will find a cadaver, and the world not deverses him”.

    Answer: You probably don’t set goals anymore, except for living.

  66. brishti Says:

    thanks a lot…i really needed this…perfect timing…..

  67. Richard Turner Says:

    Hi Vic will you be the one that picks up Jims Mantle & keep the faith. Goals are all ways important but being reminded why is some times more so.

  68. Yier Says:

    Whaw! “Dream lofty dreams and as you dream so shall you become.” This is a very powerful echoing of James Allen’s title “As a man thinketh.” I always marvel at the brilliance of this great man. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful video with us. It has surely brightened my day.

  69. Lynn Blanchard Says:

    Dear Vic,
    Thanks as always for your generous spirit, enthusiasm and down-to-earth examples which make your teaching so powerful!
    Blessings,

  70. Curt Brandley Says:

    Thanks Vic, I forgot what it feels like to feel good about my dreams. Now I feel motivated again. Time to get moving.

  71. Doreen McGunagle Says:

    Hi Vic, thank you for the mid-year reminder that we still have time to achieve our goals this year. I do agree that we need to put our fears aside when we make our list of dreams. We often pre-qualify our dreams due to things that might have occurred in the past. I am truly very excited about this year and I am expecting great things to happen. Dream it, Believe it, & Achieve it! Thanks, Doreen

  72. Darwin LeonJohn Says:

    Buddha bless you Vic and your family,thanks for the inspiration and encouragement! Thank you this is powerful stuff, everyone should know!

  73. Trini Cerda Says:

    Vic Johnson, you are doing a great job by giving us these treasures. May you br rewarded for all that you do.

  77. Ken Carre Says:

    Fantastic! Helped me identify obstacles.Thank You!

  78. Ken Carre Says:

    Thank You! I really needed to hear this.Thanks.

  79. Ruth Says:

    I am always dreaming and scheming but never seem to accomplish anything. My thoughts are scattered and I need direction. Loved the story of the guy who failed over and over to finally succeed. My problem is, I never seem to get started, but I know I will someday. Thanks for this motivation.

  80. Savoera Says:

    Thank you, Vic! This is very inspiring. I especially love the quote at the end. I’ve always loved to daydream, and most of the time they are big dreams. My obstacle in achieving my goals is that I lack the belief. There is this constant doubt in my mind, and I’m doing my best to shake it off… I just try to shut the doubtful voice up by immersing myself in my daydreams again. Hopefully this will work and my dreams will soon be a reality. :)

  81. Caty P Says:

    Really good advice!:)

  82. Wendy Says:

    thank you for the reminder, thank God for you and the support you give so freely

  83. Cyndi MacLeod Says:

    I like being reminded of dreaming BIG. I seem to scale down my dreams to a more “realistic” size and I’m changing my mind.

    My desire was drowned by personal circumstances but I’ve pulled it out and dried it off. I’m going to go do my 101 list right now!

  84. Lisa Larrive Says:

    Great video Vic. It’s time for me to go after what I want with a WHITE HOT desire!

    God Bless

  85. Timothy Willan Says:

    Hey Vic! Thanks so much for the in sprirational Video to keep going and hangon to my dreams, I will Put this on my blog, and share this with everyone, Thanks again!

  86. pierre nadeau Says:

    Its so easy for so many of us to get lost in our everyday hustle that we do forget our goals. Having Vic remind us was a jolt i needed. Take a step back and find what you love, want to try & do and go chase it. The everyday hustle comes 2nd.

  87. Michael Johnson Says:

    Thank You for reminding me about my desire.IT reminded me of the when I quit smoking cigarette’s, my desire was so great that it wasn’t even difficult.

    I can feel that desire starting to rekindle itself with my present dreams which are huge, so again thank you Vic for this video and encouragement.

  88. Audrey Says:

    Thanks. Enlightening and provoking. Reminded of my reading Napoleon Hill’s chapter on “desire”.

  89. Audrey Says:

    Thanks. Enlightening and provoking. Reminded of my reading Napoleon Hill’s chapter on “desire” years ago.

  90. AH Says:

    Not a bad reminder, I’ve heard it before but sometimes hearing it worded another way helps you really get it. Thanks.

  91. salana Says:

    Hi, Vic.

    Thank you for sending me, motivation for goal setting. It’s been around a long time but often we forget all about it. I have been more into dream the dream, and energies that than, goal setting for goals seem to change by what’s going on in the world or in our personal life. I love the living in the now factor of the dream, too. I am grateful for people lie you in the world. As a facilitator of metaphysic I will keep in mind the truth of commanding the self to take action. Remember Matrex? Trinity…In the beginning of the film, she commanded her self very powerfully by saying. “GET UP TRINITY” Thats what this needs. Self command, visualization, and act, and think as if you are already living your dream.

    Thanks a million.

    In warmth.

    Salana

  92. SandraJean Mitchell Says:

    CHILD LIKE WONDER. Nice idea Vic,, I will try it tonight when I mediatate.. Thanks for taking the time,, Sandra,, Canada

  93. Manpreet Singh Says:

    Very true. One life to have lofty dreams. Why not dream it and by Gods grace, Live it.

  94. Jane Says:

    The questions you asked us to think about were really thought provoking. Thank you for the help and encouragement.

  95. Julian Chagrin Says:

    My dream as a kid was: I want to be a comedian!
    and here I am, at the age of 70+-
    With 2 Oscar nominations, an award winning comedy series :
    ( http://www.Comedy-Series.com )
    and a lot more.

    DREAM is the FUEL for life!

    Thanks.

  96. Kiki Says:

    Thank you for the reminder on the power of inspiration and “believe, conceive, achieve.” I concur with the comment that several others made about the negative tone of the title. It’s sort of like “don’t think of an elephant” or “don’t think about failure.” Something on a positive note like “making goals that are good to go” would be better.

  97. Lance Larkin Says:

    Thanks for the video it was nice to reinforce what I have been reading lately Think And Grow Rich!!!

    And that feeling in my stomach, that tingly feeling lets me know I am starting to induce my desire with thought/feeling and I have ABSOLUTE FAITH that I will get what I am dreaming to have!

    Thanks!

  98. Inez Says:

    Thanks a mil, Vic. Awesome. One of the steps we need to take is to rekindle the passion and fire within ourselves and dream big! Thank you for being an inspiration to others.

  99. Fran Says:

    It’s a great video. It’s true what you say that we ofetn don’t follow through with our dreams becos they’re nort worthwhile enough. I’m totally motivated. Thanks Vic.

  100. James Richardson Says:

    Thanks for the timely reminder and words of encouragement.

  101. Mary Says:

    I loved this video-got me fired up and motivated to do more-be more-I will refer to this often when I need a boost. I justt ordered one of Napoleon Hill’s books and can’t wait till it arrives!!! Thank you so much for sharing this information……………..for free!!!! God bless you!!!!

  102. vinny chay Says:

    Awesome video, Vic! Thank you ever so much…

  103. Bob Says:

    OK, Vic, alas a chance to share this with others.

    First, I have to say, it’s a great video. It’s all real and true. Here’s my story.
    The first time I read James Allen’s “As a Man Thinketh” was 29 years ago. A guy named Hal, who I was designing a Logo for, gave me a small staple-bound copy of it, one of hundreds he had gotten printed himself. I then read it to completion every day for a week or so. I accepted it and adapted to my world. The philosophy and work ethics have become the blueprints of obtaining any goal I desire. The rewards of that committment have come to me a hundred fold any goal in my life life. My
    “As a Man Thinketh” came at just the right time for me. When it comes to DREAMING THE BIG DREAM, always go for it with NO FEAR…EVER!

  104. Lon Ledvina Says:

    Great message!!!

  105. Carolyn Beck Says:

    Hi Vic:

    Great hearing your voice again and seeing your mighty presence. This was a great reminder to me to make my dreams much bigger and to make that new list of things to accomplish. Oddly enough, I have accomplished a lot of things on my previous list and wasn’t really aware of it until I started thinking about it. My first item on my new list is to finish my e-book. Thanks for being a great Mentor.

  106. Donna Lee Little Says:

    I have to find the program that is keeping me from dreaming! Great video.

  107. Gabriel Says:

    Thanks for yours words and motivation…

  108. Ed Says:

    Great stuff, the trick is in figuiring out what we really truely want.

  109. Nanette Says:

    Looking forward to the day when my dreams do come true. It makes me weary to think it could still take more years…but need to encourage myself by saying that coming so far as I have (with little result) is still progress and I have learnt much. So..on with the next phase…

  110. Jeff Says:

    Thanks Vic for the information. That hit my problem on the head. I currently do not have that white hot desire for anything. Now that I know the problem, it is something that can be worked on.

  111. Baruch Ben-Melech Says:

    Listening to the video gave me a headache! But not because you were wrong or not telling the truth; important goals to me are so overwhelming.
    I failed at Amway, I failed at promoting water distillers, I failed at marketing
    air purifiers, I have failed at learning Hebrew, and more. All that I am good at is conforming with the masses;trading time for money. That is a deep empty pit in today’s economy.

    Baruch Ben-Melech

  112. Robin Says:

    Thanks Vic. You made my eyes believe, my mind believe, now it’s up to me to make my soul believe.

  113. Leland Says:

    Thanks for the pep talk. Just what I needed as i’ve getting caught up with the many trivial everyday life matters that can really eat up your day. But also distracts us from the most important matters which we need to be tending to. It’s helped me to refocus and try to get my fire to the “:White Hot” level of desire.

    Leland from Hawaii

  114. mrueger Says:

    Hi Vic, this was a great video thank you so much for sharing it. The goal of keeping my dreams alive is so crucial , I need to remember to let God supply the “How”. Many Blessings Marc Rueger

  115. Marilyn R Williams Says:

    Thanks for the reminder Vic!

    I just posted a link to this video on FaceBook – hope my friends take the time to check your video out.

    Thanks for the Claim Your Power Now program, too – really changed my life. Even though things are not good at the moment – I know good things are happening. I just need to keep going.

    Vic, nice to hear your voice and hear the motivating message to write some lofty goals down pretty quickly. Agree with one of the comments about the title, I didn’t feel inspired to listen when I read it as I aren’t really interested in why goals fail, I would rather hear why they succeed.
    gotta go now. Have to write some goals in double quick time. Thanks for keeping in touch.

  117. Russell Gruner Says:

    If only I had started with this material long ago. How many times I have heard that said and have myself said it. However, when its time its time and now is finally my time. This material along with the others in my growing library is not only informational, its the way your life should be lived! Thank you for your tireless efforts and please, keep the inspiration going….. Russell from Fly-Over Country…WI.

  121. Leanne Mork Says:

    Dream Big it’s easy right…….of course it is. I can see now that I have had very small dreams. Thankyou for your incredible insight Vic.

  122. Linda Says:

    I was so disappointed with this video and stopped it within a minute. I do not need or want to know how goals FAIL. Instead I chose to know they succeed. I am successful and hope that others seek success not failure.

  123. Theresa Says:

    Very interesting but after 41 years of marriage, my husband and I many times have conlicting goals

    Thank you for this video Vic.
    Dream big enough, thats what you sad. 5 years ago we set the goal to build our own house to live in. 5 years we have worked on that dream to come true. Two weeks ago we started with building it. Thats what it is:
    Dream It, do It!

    Thanks for the reminder that we are half way through another year. As I write this, my wife Kathy has left to be with her grandfather who has entered the hospital unexpectedly. I will have been on this earth 47 years tomorrow. The gentlemen she is going to see has bee 95 years on this earth!!!! A quick reminder that I have alot of work to do, people to see, things to accomplish, and inspiration and smiles to spread. Thanks for re-igniting the flame that is the only way it can become white hot!!!

    Hi Vic,

    It is always great to see your smiling face and hear your words of wisdom. Thank you for reminding me to “Dream Lofty Dreams.” It is so easy to think and dream small. But the rewards come when you step out of the skinny branches and Dream Big. Thank you for the reminder.

    Take care and best to Lisa,

    Sherry

  137. leo Says:

    hello vic, somewhere during this months i lost my will. to many things goes in the wrong directions or don’t move at all. i had a project, but it’s taking a year and still it can see the light of day. in the meantime, my job simply don’t work and actually it’s hard to find another one. in all of this i miss my passion and my will, now i just feel lost and without a clear path to follow. how can i recover some positive feeling and start believing again that thinks will work?
    thank you Vic

    Goal setting is very important specially if you want to plan long term.”*”

  139. Roberta Kulesza Says:

    As you pointed out, Vic, I wouldn’t allow myself to dream of things, and especially not BIG dreams believing they were out of reach. Not wanting to be disappointed if I didn’t get them. I realize how I have been keeping myself from dreaming and making my dreams come true. To be sure to make the goal worthwhile, not to be afraid to DREAM BIG, and to get excited about having them come true. That’s a great exercise suggestion. Music, and a quiet place.

  140. Raul Martin Says:

    I think the 101 dreams/goals had the most appeal. It helps you depict your core.
    Money, freedom vs. helping caring
    internal / external
    others / greedy self
    In 101 options we should find time/room to think of third level Maslow ideals

    Thanks for helping me reorder my focus.

  141. Gisela Echeverria Says:

    Will you like to have this and the rest of your fantastic material translated into Spanish neutral???? Common Vic! Help me to fulfill one of my biggest dreams: Make material as good as yours available to Spanish Speakers who do not speak English! Think about it for a moment!!! Just picture how many more people your material will reach! ALL LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES!!! All Latin American communities in the USA, which by the way is growing more and more each day! Vic, I have been your “pupil” for some months now and I do value your material. MAKE IT HAPPEN FOR ME… AND FOR YOU Vic!!! You have NO-THING to lose and great things to WIN! Best regards and blessings.

    Very inspiring lesson about setting goals. The questions that were asked are very imperative and I declared that I will stick to them. YES I CAN!!

  146. Sam Hansen Says:

    I loved this inspirational video, I’ll keep it to refer to. (Marcus Aurelius is one of my favourites. I read about his philosophy’s 20years ago) still have the book somewhere, it helped me through a difficult time. I haven’t heard anything about him for a while, so thanks for the reminder. I love all the inspiring messages!!
