Jane and Dick started a bakery; they put all their time and money into the business for 6 years. Sales had their highs and lows. Then they divorced. Jane took over the business as Dick just wanted out. It was time for Jane to re-evaluate the situation and the future of her life and her company.

*With the aid of a small magnifying glass you can teach yourself a great lesson on the value of purpose. Through the use of such a glass you can focus the sun-rays on a definite spot (which represents purpose) so strongly that they will bum a hole through a plank.

Setting goals is all about the journey and becoming a better version of yourself.
When you set a goal to run a business or lose weight, or when you set a goal to get a degree or a promotion, you arrive a better person a more experienced one from when you started. You have learned and you have succeeded.
That's what "goals" are really about - what they make of us in the process of achieving them. That's why we bother.
We set goals not for what we GET, but for what we BECOME.
