Greetings!!
I hope your week is the best ever and that you are continuing to focus on what you want in your lives—your goals and dreams.
Sometimes when I am told (or read) something, I don’t really ‘get it’! Do you know what I mean? The words sound good…the concepts are sound…yet the meaning of what I am told just doesn’t sink in!! I think what I am trying to say is that the words may be exactly right, but I just don’t know how to apply them to my life or my circumstances.
It is helpful when I can get a picture in my mind. The following little story helped me and I hope it will also help you to focus on what you really want!! I would give credit to the originator of this story, but I honestly don’t know where or when it started.
I am told that when race car drivers are in training, they are given the instruction to always keep their eyes ahead…on their goal…the finish line and victory. They should never become distracted by things going on around them. If there is a crash on the right side…if they are bumped on the left side…DO NOT look in the direction of the incident. If they look towards the distraction, they will begin steering their car in that direction rather than towards the finish line.
This applies to us also. We have determined exactly what our goals are and we are doing all that we can to move in the direction of those goals. As long as everything is going smoothly, we are fine! If disruption, disappointment or confusion comes our way…in other words, if things don’t go the way we think they should…we will often look toward these things. We will focus our thoughts and words on the things we do not want!!
We have a choice to make. Do we want to keep our focus on our goals or do we want our focus to be on these things we do not want? Do we want to move in the direction of our goals or do we want to ‘drive our car’ in the wrong direction and toward defeat?
It sounds easy , doesn’t it? It is easy until we meet with problems, but we can all keep moving toward our goals! Is it always easy? NO! Is it worth it? Yes!! Remember the race car driver! You may have problems or distractions…you may be moving too slowly…. but just keep moving ahead and you will achieve your dreams.
Let’s do it together. Let’s move in the direction of our goals, whether those are goals to build a big successful internet business, to build better relationships, to exercise more and eat less (YUCK)….! Let’s move forward and not focus on diversions! We can all achieve victory and celebrate together!!
To success,

DO YOU HAVE WEEDS IN YOUR GARDEN?
Do you have weeds in your garden? Get rid of them
now before they choke out your plants and cause them
to die! Be vigilant in pulling out every weed and
remember that not all weeds are ugly. Some may even
have flowers, but they will not bring nourishment
to your garden.
Are you pulling out the weeds that are trying to take
over your garden – you goals and dreams? I have started
a list of things that can hamper or destroy the wonder-
ful things that God wants for your life. Add to this
list and quickly banish those pesky weeds.
1. Fear of failure
2. Disbelief - That could not really happen to me!
3. Negative comments of friends and family
4. Overwhelming problems that distract you from your
goals.
5. Apathy
Tend your garden daily and you will reap a rich reward!
