Hi there, this is Andrew Smith International Life Coach with a question for you: The question today is “Have you clearly defined you goals?”

Within the work I do, making sure that people have specific, measurable goals that they have committed to paper is in my opinion the starting point for my client’s journey. It is so commonplace in my thinking, that I believe everyone must know the importance of writing down their goals and dreams. Why? Because the very act of writing them down, makes them tangible and real!

This morning I received an email from a prospective client in reply to a challenge I made to them to “define your goals!” This person’s response was: “The biggest change I have made is to actually write down my goals in minute detail, even doing that is so focusing and empowering!”

I know from my own experience and from the experiences that my clients have shared with me; that speaking out what we would like to happen, is the beginning of the change that brings about our goals and desires! According to the bible that is exactly how God made everything, by simply speaking it into being: “And God said let there be light and there was light!”

If you write down your goal and then carry it with you and read it often; you will start to imagine your life as it will be when the goal is completed. When your intended outcome is constantly in your mind, it will keep you focussed and help you to believe that your dream will become your reality.

If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know even if you get there that you’ve arrived?

Albert Einstein said: “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand; whilst imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” So we can see that imagination is the preview of life’s coming attractions. It therefore makes good sense to use our imaginations today to create the life we’ve always intended to have.
