What is your September Goals?

Show confidence and faith and persevere until you gain success
Many books have been written about how to achieve our goals. Many leaders, mainly church leaders, as far as I have experienced give motivational speeches on how to fulfill our goals. We think it is hard and impossible to achieve our goals because we often forget what are the main reasons for our failure. Often, when we try several attempts to execute our goal and fail, we give up immediately. Too many failed attempts at reaching for a specific goal will stop us from recharging our mindset and accomplishing again. Experts call this situation the "Brick Wall".

As mention, the "Brick Wall" is hard. It is tough. In other words, in my own terms, I call it our stubborn inflexible unconsciousness to move forward. The broader the "brick wall" is the more difficult one takes to demolish it. An easy and painless way to overcome this is to write down all the times you have try to attain your goal and why it failed. By identifying the cause(s), and by bringing them into your consciousness, as opposed to compiling the failures into a "brick wall", you get the opportunity to analyze the reasons for failing, subsequently understanding your current circumstances and think of ways to solve it. Don't be a bully to yourself by building "brick walls" around you. Bull doze those "brick walls" and strive for the September sky!

Lim Kim,

Thank you for your post card, and I have not forgotten that I owed you one from your last one! I apologize for being so late in my written replies! The post card was beautiful.

In addition to your challenge to be more environmentally friendly, I think another September goal I have is to be less lazy - to clean the house more, to go through old clothes to give away, to do some last major cleaning before the winter months. I will try to do this in the beautiful month of September!

Thank you for the inspiring post. It would do good for me to pay attention to and face my failures so that I don't give up.

Well, your challenge has helped me! This morning I put some laundry away, picked up/organized the bedroom and put some things in the recycling bin - all before work!
