Specific goals

A vague goal is not really a goal at all. Specific goals are the only goals that have a chance of being reached.

What do you intend to to, exactly, precisely, with details? In the laying out of those details is when the achievement begins.

Nestle your dream firmly in an exact location. Know the size, sound, color, cost, duration, and everything else that is a function of its existence in reality.

Then you can draw up a realistic and workable pathway to it. Then you can begin to make your way along that path.

Any time you wander off in the wrong direction, stop and re-clarify the goal. With fresh, rich details, you can quickly get yourself back on track.

Every result is a specific result. Make your goals specific, and get the results you desire.

— Ralph Marston
