Definitely Directed Thought...

"All achievements, whether in business, intellectual, or spiritual
world, are the result of definitely directed thought." - James Allen

"How many times have you heard the expression that most people spend
more time planning their vacation than they do planning their life. I
would expand that expression by adding that most people spend more
time "thinking" about their vacation than they do thinking about
what's important in their life." - Vic Johnson

"The "power of definitely directed thought" (the power of purpose) is
why I love the story of John Goddard so much. When he was 15 years
old, Goddard was inspired to create a list of 127 "life goals". By one
count, the "young seventy-something" has accomplished 109 of these
PLUS 300 others be set along the way!!

Here is just a few of the ones he's reached:

He climbed the Matterhorn, Ararat, Kilimanjaro, Fiji, Rainier and the
Grand Tetons.

He retraced the route of Marco Polo through all of the middle east,
Asia and China and was the first man to explore the whole length of
the worlds longest river, the Nile. He also boated down the Amazon,
Congo and others.

He has been to 120 countries, explored the under water reefs of
Florida, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, the Red Sea, visited the
Great Wall of China, the Okefenokee swamp in Georgia, and the
Everglades in Florida.

He has flown 47 different types of aircraft, and set several civillian
air speed records including one at 1500 miles an hour. He flew a F-106
to an altitude of 63000 feet, making him the only civilian to pilot an
aircraft that high, a record which he still holds.

And I am just getting started. But I think you get the point.

Okay, maybe it's been a while since you were 15, and maybe coming up
with 127 life goals is a bit intimidating at this point. But how about
10? How much would the quality of your life improve if you
accomplished just one life goal in each of the next ten years?

You won't ever know if you don't start now -- and if you don't WRITE
them down." - Vic Johnson

"If you really know what you want out of life, it's amazing how
opportunities will come to enable you to carry them out." - John Goddard

And that's worth thinking about...
