Very Happy Phil

Take some action towards one of your goals today!

Don't expect to achieve it right away!

Rome wasn't built in a day!

This week; have a think about that!

I will tell you a little story; I was asking for some swimming tips one day,
after returning to swimming for the first time in a year or more. I was
finding it very hard to swim anything close to my previous maximum distance
of 400m. The young swim coach said "Swim a few lengths today and then next
time swim a bit more and the next time swim a bit more." I smiled! And
thought to myself "wow brilliant advice. To think I used I write a book
about goal setting!" I had expected myself to be able to be as good as I
was. I needed to start from stratch. Baby steps!

Here are a few of my favourite quotes which inspire me;

"Four stages of success; DREAMING. PLANNING. ACTING. CELEBRATING."
- Joseph Douglas, Hakomi Counsellor and psychotherapist, Perth, Australia

"Dream. Believe. Plan. Act. Achieve."
-Walt Disney

People who are taking action towards their goals are more likely to feel satisfied and less likely to give up.
(Research by Elliot 1999)

Have a happy week!

Keep positive!
