There is something more important than believing–action. Goals are not a wish; they are a vivid dream acted on. Understand that no goal can ever be achieved by wishful thinking or desire not followed by (painful) effort. We have to s top the mindless wishing that things would be different. Rather than wasting time and emotional and spiritual energy in explaining why we don't have what we want, we can start to pursue other ways to get it. The problem is that it is often difficult to put one’s thoughts into action. As a result, the world is so full of dreamers and there aren’t enough people who will move ahead and begin to take steps (in the right direction) to achieve their dreams/goals (in every area of their lives). Moreover, many people tend to spend most of their time talking about their goals and plans but few are taking the steps necessary (each day) to make their dreams a reality (in every area of their lives).

The good news is that as you keep on adding new goals (in every area of your life), and write them down on paper in a way that is clear, easy to follow, and providing all the information you need at a glance, it becomes easier to develop this (success) habit. Keep in mind that only by persistently and consistently taking action over and over again will you build the habit of goal-setting.
