How To Bring Goals To Life! A great way of seeing your goals and making them foremost in your mind is to gain a visual goal diary, or scrap book.
On most of our computers we have a section called Pictures or My Pictures. Enter that section and create a New folder titled My Goals.
Now hopefully you should have a few goals written down somewhere or at least have them in your minds eye in order for you to focus on them.
Ok, now what we are going to do is bring those goals to life and give them a real presence. In your web browser (Which I hope is Mozilla Firefox doesn’t matter if it is not but Firefox is just the bees knees when it comes to web browsers you may wish to look it up later and download) search for Google search engine if not already your Home Page.
Google has a facility for searching Images (All images so be careful). Once you have found the Google Images Search facility type in one of your Goals. This may be a type of car, boat, motorbike etc. Once you have found the image you personally like simply right click with your mouse, search for My Pictures – My Goals then name as the name you wish and save in you’re My Goals (Picture) file.
If you have certain goals such as getting fit or learning karate then you may wish to use pictures such as a personal fitness trainer or home gym and for karate use a top martial artist such as Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Jacque Chan, Jet Li etc.
So for every Goal you will have an image or associated image.
Bringing these Goals to life means focusing on them regularly. The best way to do this is create a New Goal every Week. Log this down somewhere so you don’t forget. Then every time you add a new goal to your folder take time to view through all the others that you already have. This process will re-affirm them in your mind and remind you why you are doing what it is that you are doing.
This is an easy free and effective way of producing a highly visual and worthwhile goals list for regular reiteration purposes.
Kind Regards

Contributor's Note
What prompted me to think of this simple solution was based on reading many Motivational Books over the years. Inside they always refer to your mind not having a direction if you don't have any goals. And especially written down so that you can review and add to them often. Well this got me thinking about adding visuals as well and having printed off enough pictures to go with the text I thought an easier way would be to simply store and update my visual goals on my computer. This not only makes it simple, but great fun when I sit and go through them all after adding new ones. A good thing to remember is the fact that a goal doesn't have to be massive. It might even be something like your next computer or watch. The main thing is that I hope you gain something from it, which was the whole point of writing it down in the first place. Best Wishes Clive Anderson
