your existence is worthy of your very best thinking

"if you don't have a plan, you're already there"

If you want to take charge of your life, make every second count, see and do everything you can, the beliefs below, (underlined), make it highly unlikely.

The beliefs below them with bullet points (dots) explain why.

The question at the end encourages thinking that produces learning, growth and possibility.

To keep your furthest and most heartfelt goal in mind, make it your Target like True North on a compass. It will keep you striving and looking for the most efficient path and getting the most self-satisfaction.

 

 

IN THE EXAMPLES BELOW

The underlined statements are usually self-defeating.

 

Flip over the card!

ASK – statements are the arrows that show you the most direct path to what you need to progress.

 

When you hover your mouse over each placard below you will reveal the thoughts that either help you reach your goals or draw you away from them, along with a question to ASK yourself that will help you stay on track towards your goals.

Each card can be printed out so you can place it in your wallet, tape it to your computer, or share it with a friend, as a reminder of the thought practices that will point you to your goals.
