Our brains are goal-activating mechanism. We tell our brain what we want and it devises a system for getting there. The problem, according to achievement expert Brian Tracy, is that only 3 percent of the population set goals. No wonder so many people feel that their life has little or no direction.

It's easily remedied though. Grab a piece of paper right now and spend ten minutes dreaming about what you would like to achieve in the following areas: health, career, social, family, spiritual, and pleasure.

Then choose your five favorite goals and begin acting...today...to make them happen. You'll find each step you take toward your goals will increase both your self-esteem and your wellbeing.
