Week 12

Dear Friends,

::The most important part of goaling is thinking.  I imagine thinking as a systematic way to understand and make sense of stimuli.  Stimuli is everywhere and everything.  I highlighted systematic in the first sentence because we all develop our own systems for going about thinking.  The people who get what they want are the ones who study their thoughts and optimize them to support their goals.

Each thought we have affirms something.  In order to optimize thinking, positive affirmations must outweigh the negative.   The progress I make each week with my goals is a reflections of my thinking so it is important to make sure that I am not wasting thoughts on negative affirmations.  My challenge to you is to make every thought count this week::
