Do you ever get discouraged or how about just plain tired of everyone posting goals on the net that they never reach? Its a sad fact that most people set goals but they have nothing backing them up. Today I have a little story to share with you. This story is true and if you apply the same principal to your blogs you can reach your goals no matter the size and always come out on top! Here is the story!

“There was a young man who went to college, the day he got to his dorm room he nailed a beautiful golden V on the door. He never told anyone why or what the golden V was for even though they asked him time and time again, he simply replied saying “Just Wait”. He spent time each and every day cleaning and polished this V on the door until his last day of college.He graduated as the class Valedictorian!”

What do you think that V stood for now?

This young man had the goal of being the best in the class and he kept that goal in mind by cleaning the V every day. It kept him focused and he never gave up on his goal because he knew within himself he could reach it by the end of his graduation.

Now am I saying you should get a nice golden MMO sign on your door? No, I am simply saying that if you set a goal and you remind yourself every single day that you can reach it if you work hard and take the necessary steps then in no time at all you will reach whatever your goal may be.

Goal setting is so powerful, you really have no idea what your capable of until you set a goal. The funny thing is that once you reach one goal, you set your next goal even higher. Even professional athletes set goals, if I can make a 8 ft high jump then next I can make a 8ft 1 inch high jump.

Another story you can think about is this…

For years it was a big myth that nobody could run a mile in under 5 minutes, until one day this one guy did it in just under 5 minutes. Since then, the record has be cut down more and more, the reason this is possible is because of hope or vision. If you believe you can do something chances are you probably can (with the right people around you to help).
