Are you reaching your goals?

What are you doing in the morning when you wake up?

It is important to look in that mirror and to believe in the person that you see and to tell that person when you get up in the morning that you can accomplish your goals.

Write down your goals and decide on the things that you want to accomplish that day.

Not your to do list, your tasks like going to get your groceries, picking up the kids from school.

But what are those things that you want to do on that day that’s going to make a difference in your life?

Look at the mirror in the morning. Close your eyes and visualize yourself accomplishing that goal.

Then you can do it. There is power in looking in the mirror and believing in the person you see.
