In honor of the great Nike Scandal this week circling Colin Kaepernick, I decided to read a book about what I believe the Nike brand represents. Which is why I chose to read Goals by Brian Tracy, this book talks about defying odds, the power in trying again, and dreaming without limits. Check out my very 1st blog called The Purpose of Rising to Be.
Planning for Success
Completing your most important parts of the day, by actually getting real with yourself and making sure it is something you can stick too. By managing your time it allows you to feel like you can achieve your goal by staying on the schedule you have set, and on the days where you drift you come up with a game plan so you end up there again. A plan is just of everything you want to accomplish, with the steps to achieving your ideal goal.
Goals In Your View
The importance of viewing your goals daily, instead of writing them down only once or twice a year. This can make a difference by making you conscious of what you really want to achieve, either with daily affirmations or mantras. When Brian Tracy said "You become what you think about most of the time", I feel that is completely true but it was also refreshing to see from someone else. Especially when he said that "worry is a form of negative goal setting", this made me more conscious of when I often think negatively or think or worse case scenarios.
The way the Brian Tracy explains this in his book seems like there is no way you can fail unless you refuse to put the effort in. Or if you decide that trying again isn't worth it anymore when it actually is, because in order to be great you need to keep trying until you achieve the goal you have set for yourself. He even gives the reader tools to use outside the book like The 3P’s, SMART Goals, List of Obstacles and rewriting them as a goal.
Greatness in Everyone
What I loved about this book was how Brian Tracy, says that everyone has the potential to be great, it just depends on their mindset to achieve their greatness. And that the people we look up to that are great were once just amateurs before they became who they are today. This book allowed me to get real with myself and to stop blaming others for the failures I have made but to instead stand up and come up with a plan to achieve my dreams.
