Shoot into a Basket (hoop) or Dribble aimlessly

We learn about goals early in life, but somehow forget about them along the way. Regardless of your age, everyone played games as a child. Majority of our games involved a target or goal. If you played basketball like I did, the point of the game is to shoot the ball into the basket (hoop). Success was the getting the ball in the basket. Though dribbling and passing the ball was part of the game; the end result was to get the ball through the hoop.
Life without goals is like playing basketball without a basket. Life activities will give you some pleasure, but sustaining them for any length of time is difficult.
Setting and meeting goals creates positive energy and motivates you to keep going, even when obstacles arise.
I hope you will not "dribble" through life, I hope you will dribble with a goal in mind.
Sometimes it helps to talk somethings out; find someone who cares to listen to you and vent out your desires and see if they are realistic.
All the best.

Success

Success is very illusive for many.
If you ask a group of ten people what success is; you will most likely get ten different definitions.
Some may say success is:
Power
Money,
Family
Being well known in the country
A special feeling etc.
As you can see most of the definitions will have possessions involved in the definition.
Many Kenyans who are seeking jobs would most likely define success as getting that dream job.
Success is not a destination.
"Many people have what I call "destination disease." They believe that is they can arrive somewhere --attain a position, accomplish a goal, or have a relationship with the right person--they will be successful." John Maxwell
Success is a journey...
What does it take to be successful? "Two things are required: the right picture of success and the right principles for getting there.

Do not try to copy someone else...because no two success stories are the same. The process to be successful maybe the same but we do not arrive the same success level and at the same time.

I will continue to discuss "success" this week and emphasize how that job that you are seeking is not success; it is a milestone, but not success.
Stay tuned.
