By establishing goals based on our vision, it gives us real targets to shoot for and as we achieve our goals we will move our vision closer and closer to reality. Nothing in our imagination or our vision can ever become reality unless we take the necessary action. What we’ll find as we create our goals from beginning with the end in mind is that each goal builds to the next as it requires its own set of goals. It’s also important to note and understand that these goals are not fixed and can and should be changed and adjusted as life changes may be affected by major events along our journey. As we know, the journey to financial well-being and freedom is a marathon, not a sprint. So, the likelihood of needing to adjust our goals is great, which means we should also be prepared to embrace the changes we will encounter. Although adjustments will be needed, it’s also important to stay focused on the end goal, so that any adjustments that are made to our short-term goals continue to stay in line with our end goal.

You Create What You Want by Starting with This

The thought of setting goals can sometimes be challenging, but it’s necessary if you’re going to achieve financial success. Envisioning what you want your future to look like is the easiest place to start. By beginning with the end in mind, it gives you your direction. That sense of direction is what will keep you on your path during a long and challenge filled journey.

Without a sense of direction, you will lose sight of who you want to be, where you want to go and what you need to do to get there. Without direction and a plan, you will inevitably give up because of frustrations and failures. Too many people let life happen to them instead of taking control and living with intention. With a vision, goals and a plan, you’ll be able to take control of your life.

“A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.” ― Bruce Lee

You need to understand and remember that your dream and vision of financial freedom isn’t just an end result of what you want, but it’s also the first building block in getting started. This is where thoughts become things! It all starts in your mind…with your imagination and then it takes action to bring it to life. A dream without a plan is just a wish. Don’t just dream…DO!

When you begin with the end in mind, you will have taken the first step to creating your reality and you will be able to set and accomplish your goals more easily. Don’t be a victim of your circumstances, live your life with a plan and a purpose. Start with how you want your future to look, then work your way back to where you currently are, which will help to bring your goals into focus.
