Setting and Achieving Goals; never ever give up.

You may well come to a point when you are quite sure that your goals

setting and achieving goals; never give up

are either unrealistic or that you have missed something somewhere. No matter what you try, you just don’t seem any closer to reaching them.

There is a great story in the book Think and Grow Rich about a man named Darby. I won’t recount the whole story here, but briefly, Mr. Darby had gold fever and went off to Colorado to search for gold. He had some success and found a vein, but before long it died out. Mr Darby sold all his equipment and went home. The man he sold it to consulted a geologist and resumed digging. Three feet from where Darby quit, gold was struck.

You cannot give up. You may look over your goals and see if they need re-defining, you may look at what you want to do and, once again, evaluate how much you want to give in order to achieve your goal, but if you decide that the goal is what you want, then do not give up!

Remember the story of Darby. If you give up now, what will you think about it a year or so from now? Will you regret quitting? If you give up now, how will you ever know if you were just “three feet” from your goal?

If you are having a hard time and nothing seems to be working out, take a deep breath, go over your goals, and then renew your efforts!

Here’s to You!
