want is to write our thoughts down on a piece of paper.
What happens when you write down your goals? And why is
that?
• You motivate yourself by taking action and seeing your intangible desires in tangible form via letters or
shapes or colors’ – if you decide to paint them, for example
It’s like planning a trip: you write down what you want to achieve so that you can see what steps are
needed in order to get there, and you can also see your progress.
• When you write you stimulate your imagination; you need to visualize what you really want.
• The process of writing down your thoughts forces you to be more concise and clear about the purpose of
your actions.
• If you can write it you can measure it, and if you can measure it you can achieve it.
• You save time, because writing down your goals gives your mind the clarity and motivation to seek
solutions instead of coping with the initial idea: what do I want.
Concrete plans bring specific concrete results; vague thoughts and vague plans usually bring chaos and
small results…or worse create disability. Your thoughts create reality. What are your next actions going to
be?
