Today’s Message: When we create goals we increase the beauty of our lives because we know the direction we want to go. The more we plan, the more we succeed by charting our course in advance.
Today’s Quote: “Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination.” Fitzhugh Dodson (Author, 1924-1993)

I was thinking today about my goals and how I can get myself too consumed with achieving them. It is like I WILL NOT 
accept anything less than a success. As I thought more about it, having that attitude is not so good. To achieve goals, you have to do several things: 1) Decide what you desire, 2) Visualize the success, 3) Take decisive action to achieving it, 4) Be willing to change it, 5) Turn it over to the universe to deliver. My problem is that I am REALLY good with numbers 1-3 and sometimes not so good with 4&5.
It dawned on me that being successful is not just about achieving my goals but also about the quality of my life. If I achieve all my goals but am exhausted, unhappy or stressed out, then that is really not a success at all. One positive take away from all this is that the simple awareness of this thought will help me make different choices in the future. When things don’t seem to be working out on a particular goal, rather than working myself into a frenzy, I can look to where the goal is taking me and change it up just a bit if it feels right. I will use my gut to determine if I need to change it while also being aware that fear could be driving that decision. I believe that when you look at things objectively and thoroughly evaluate the options, your intuition will provide you with what you need.
I would love to here your feedback. Post a comment here or send me a note from my website, www.idontstink.com.

Today’s Quote: “I’ve continued to recognize the power individuals have to change virtually anything and everything in their lives in an instant. I’ve learned that the resources we need to turn our dreams into reality are within us, merely waiting for the day when we decide to wake up and claim our birthright.” Anthony Robbins (Author, Actor & Professional Speaker, b.1960)
Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day! You deserve it!

STINKIN’ THINKIN’ STINKS! is my latest book written for ages 9-13. Although it is taking longer than I expected, I 
finally have a publication date. It is scheduled to be released June 22, 2010. We are in the process of developing the cover design and it is just about ready to go to the editor and book designer. I have to say that this project has been quite a different one than any of my other books. It mixes humor with personal development and provides some pretty cool exercises the younger ones will actually want to try. I also see older children and adults checking it out because of its uniqueness.
Thank you to everyone who has provided me with encouragement on this book. With 3 years in the making, it is certainly the longest project I have ever attempted.
Peace and gratitude,
Bill
