=>PLEASE FORWARD TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LOVED ONES <=\n\nHi,\n\nI have my big interview today. I am slightly
worried because I don’t even get the questions
ahead of time. It’s suppose to be natural. This isn’t
for bipolar stuff it’s for my consulting business.<\/p>\n

I have to get going so I can brainstorm what
I think the questions will be.<\/p>\n

Before I take off to go to New York City,
today I want to talk to you about:<\/p>\n

THE IMPORTANCE OF GOAL SETTING<\/p>\n

Many people have zero goals and as a result get
nothing done. I’m not necessarily talking about
lazy people, either. These people look and act
normal in every way \u2013 they may be your friend
or neighbor, your family member, your spouse,
or even you!<\/p>\n

They seem to have a very normal life. They
may even feel like they have a boring life, in
fact. That’s because they have no goals to
strive for.<\/p>\n

If you have no goals, you will not really
accomplish anything. Every day will seem
to be like the next. You will get up, go to
work, come home, go to bed. Every day.<\/p>\n

Your work life will be just as boring as your
home life, again, because you have nothing
to strive for. You are in a dead-end job; you
have no professional goals, either.<\/p>\n

In my courses and systems, I discuss how very
important it is to have and to make goals for
yourself \u2013 both short-term and long-term goals:<\/p>\n

When you’re talking about bipolar disorder,
typical goals might include: to be stable, to
not miss doctor’s appointments, to become
financially independent, etc.<\/p>\n

Making To-Do Lists is a good way to help
you to achieve your short-term goals, and
not to overwhelm you.<\/p>\n

I asked 16 people in a day what their goals
were for the next year and only one of them
had even a vague idea. <\/p>\n

With the new year coming up, and people
thinking about what their New Year’s
Resolution is going to be, people have
change on their minds anyway. So this is
a good time to be setting goals.<\/p>\n

Remember, you can set short-term and
long-term goals. Don’t set goals that will
be impossible for you to reach, or you will
just set yourself up for failure, and you
don’t want that. So make sure these goals
will be ones you can reach \u2013 if not sooner,
then later.<\/p>\n

Make your goals reasonable goals. Make
sure these goals are suitable goals for you.
Make sure these goals are for YOU, and
not goals you think other people want you
to have.<\/p>\n

Setting a short-term goal and reaching it
can be a wonderful boost to a poor self-
esteem. Try it!<\/p>\n

Hey, I have to go to New York now.
Catch you tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Your friend,<\/p>\n

Dave
