Back in the '70s Paul J. Meyer, the founder of Success Motivation Institute asked particpants in one of his seminars, "Did you ever consider that you could have a map and a compass and still be hopelessly lost? " A map and compass are completely useless until you know that mising point on your compass - WHERE YOU PRESENTLY ARE NOW! That's why it is so important when writing out your goals and plans to appraise yourself honestly to determine exactly where you stand now.
* In relation to your income goals...where are you now?
* In relation to your physical and mental goals...where are you now?
* On relation to your social, family, and spiritual goals...where are you now?
A vitally important point of your compass - and a vitally impotant factor in your future achievements is WHERE YOU ARE NOW!
Although over the intervening 50 years, electronic devices have changed the physical reference of the analogy, that 5th point on YOUR compass is still critical!
