Do you feel you are just going through the motions of life? Wandering aimlessly in a shroud of fake happiness? Do you feel motivated to get up each morning and take on what life has to offer, or do you want to hide under the covers? Do you believe your future has been predetermined for you? Are you living a life you love?

You can choose to be successful in any area of life through the process of goal setting and vision creation. The key words in that sentence are you and choose . You have the choice to create whatever life you want to live. It may not feel like you have any choice right now, but it is possible to regain a feeling of control. Goals get us up in the morning by providing us with a sense of purpose beyond the day-to-day tasks.

This book is not designed to help you accomplish all the goals others seem to be imposing on you, what your boss thinks you should be, or whatever your parents said you had the potential to be. They do not wake up every day feeling what you feel, wanting what you want or dreaming what you dream. Living someone elses hopes and wants is not how to live a life. You will forever feel a longing inside to be something or someone different by living that way. Maybe you feel like that already.

This is all about you and what you need out of life to feel complete. By choosing to focus only on yourself to start, you will have the ability to be the best version of you at all times. I know everyone around you will appreciate you being the happiest you can be. If you do not know who you are or what you want, no one else does either.

I appreciate the fact that you may have a significant other or a family that are directly affected by the results of your choices. No matter what your situation is, learning how to set goals for yourself is the most important first step. When they are ready, have your loved ones go through the exercises in this book also. When everyone in a relationship knows what they want in life, communication is actually better.

I will walk you through all the steps needed to provide clarity as to what it is you really want out of life. Clarity of what you want provides you with the power to get what you want. Then I will show you how to create your goals and vision, and discuss how to obtain your deepest desires. You will be able to create possibilities in your life where you thought change was impossible.

It doesnt matter where you are coming from only that you are committed to going somewhere. We all have moments where we need to take a step back and assess what it is we are actually doing with our life. The great thing about always being in a goal-focused mentality is you are always in a heightened state of self-awareness; you dont waste years of life existing vs. living. Existing feels empty and living feels fulfilling.

I am a certified life coach that had the opportunity to work for lululemon athletica for almost a decade. For those of you who dont know, lulus culture is very goals-focused, all about living a life you love and taking personal responsibility for the life you have. I have coached hundreds of people about who they were choosing to be as individuals and the effect it was having on their performance at work and in life. Living your life on purpose isnt always easy, but it is always worth the effort.

By being immersed in a goal setting culture, I had a chance to see where I personally just existed without really living life. When you just exist you do not give yourself the opportunity to enjoy the things you really want to enjoy. I was taking what life was handing to me but not actually pursuing what I wanted to be. Like many people, I have experienced my career ended in a moments notice and I was forced to create the life I wanted. Do not wait for life to force you into action. Take action today.

I will provide you with the guidance you will need to make the life changes that are right for you. Do not put off doing the exercises in the book until next time. Do not become the person you want to be "someday." Do it now. Persistence, commitment, and consistency are what create lasting results.

There will be a lot of self-reflecting involved in this book if you answer all the questions and really dig into what you want in life. You may discover that you are not living a life you love at all, and have always known it but didnt know how to break free. Soon you will not only know what to do but have the belief you are capable of doing it.

With so much evidence that goals make people successful, you would think everyone would be doing it. The reality is, a lot of people do not know where to start, believe they are too busy, or are scared to acknowledge their life is not what they had hoped it would be.

Setting goals in no way means you are not living a life you love or that there is something wrong with you. It simply indicates that you want to be in control of what you receive in life. Lets make it clear right now that you are inherently a powerful, loving, and deserving being.

Goal setting has a lot to do with simply realizing we have a limited amount of time on earth and that we all want to make the most of it. By being clear on what we want, we can make the right decisions to allow us to get there sooner and enjoy it longer. I always want to look back on the year and be amazed at what I was capable of achieving.

At the end of each chapter you will find a Take Action Request that I would give you if we were sitting down together. Essentially it is the homework you would do before the next session. In this case I make a powerful request of you to do the actions before continuing onto the next chapter. I cannot hold you accountable to this, so it is up to you to stay committed to yourself.

I will be asking you to examine old beliefs, think in new ways, and to consider approaching old situations with a different state of mind. What you know has gotten you here, wherever that is. You will now be able to discover what you need to become to get you to where you have dreamed of going. The only person holding you back is yourself.

We have the awesome opportunity to create lives that we love and the responsibility to ourselves to do it. No one else can make your life mean what you want it to mean. Goal setting allows you to create a future that may otherwise have not existed. It is all about rewriting your future.

Thank you for choosing to read this book. Your journey begins now, not to discover a better place but to discover a better you, the best possible version of you.
