By Faling To Plan, You Are Planning To Fail

No one actually plans deliberately to fail. No one decides in advance to live a life of underachievement and frustration, but by faling to decide exactly what you want, you end up living unconsciously and unintentionally by the law of accident. Then, what happens to you in life will appear to be a series of random occurences over which you have little control. Thus, you live by the law of accident.

People who live by the law of accident tend to be negative, pessimistic, and helpless and feel as though they have little control over their lives. People living under the shadow of the law of accident blame others for their problems. They continually make excuses, perform well below their potentials, and indulge in various form of escapism, such as endless television watching, alcohol, drugs, and aimless socializing. You must set goals for your life and plan to make them come true.

The wonderful thing about goal is that the very act of setting goals free you from living under the law of accident and puts you squarely under the law of control and under the law of cause and effect. The setting of goals gives you the feeling of power, purpose and forward direction. Goal setting puts you in charge of your life and makes you feel terrific about yourself.

This is why goal setting is called the 'Master Skill' of success. It is the one skill that is probably more important to your overall happiness and wellbeing than any other skill that you can develop. It puts you in the driver's seat.
