Life has many twists and turns. But I steer clear of getting confused and worried by the uncertainties. My strategy is to set goals, so I prepare for whatever life throws my way.

The economy is very unpredictable, so I plan for that. My financial stability is the most significant priority so that I can weather any economic storm.

I stick to the savings goals I set each month. Before spending a cent, I put away a predetermined sum for rainy days. This approach protects me from struggling when life throws a curveball.

My emotional well-being is also a priority. Positive relationships add so much to my life, but I avoid relying on them for my happiness.

I spend time performing things that bring me fulfillment and joy. This approach allows me to maintain my peace of mind even when friends come and go. Each day, I plan to spend time with myself to avoid being impacted by unexpected aloneness.

Goal setting prevents disruptions from creating havoc in my...

I know that persistence is the means of living my dreams. Quitting is the only way I can fail. I refuse to stop on any vital goal. I adjust my approach until I am successful.

Throughout the ages, persistence has allowed ordinary people to do extraordinary things. I know I can do amazing things, too.

Persistence is the ultimate determiner of success. I can overcome any limitation with enough effort and commitment. I can persevere.

I can easily list all of my goals by memory. Knowing my goals is the first step to persisting. When I know my goals, I know what matters. I review my goals daily. Keeping my goals fresh in my mind constantly renews my persistence.

The life I want to live is crystal clear in my mind. Any time I consider giving up, I return to that image. It revives my spirit and motivates me to continue.

The image I hold in my mind is my destiny. I refuse to permit anything to stand in my way. I can overcome any obstacle through my sheer...

There are few greater feelings than seeing myself a little further ahead today than yesterday. It reminds me why I am sacrificing certain things to achieve something else.

Time is one of my most excellent teachers. It shows me how much I can make of the hours I am blessed to have.

There is a marked contrast between the achievements of the younger me and the person who I am today. When I see the results of dedication and sacrifice, I am awed by how capable I am when I concentrate on something.

Although I am far from reaching my goal of being free of debt, I am encouraged by where I am today versus two years ago.

I know that the same level of importance placed on minimizing debt so far is required to get me to the finish line. My energy renews, and my discipline with managed spending strengthens.

I feel the same way about achieving fitness goals. Gone are the days when I feel anxiety about being higher than my target weight.

As long as I...

I know everything I want to accomplish in my life. I use the power of goals to set my sights on the future I desire. Goals provide a target that I use to direct my actions.

I am lost and forced to count on luck to create a meaningful and exciting life without goals.

Women all make bad choices in life; yes, some are worse than others. But God is a master at working all things together for good (Romans 8:28), a promise for all who genuinely love God. I control my decisions, and I use goals to exercise that control and make decisions that honor God.

To determine my goals, I ask myself what I need. When I am clear on my goals, I divide them into small steps that lead me to those goals. Now, I know what I must do to take one step toward my goals each day.

It is important to me to keep a connection with my present situations. If I focus on acceptance, I have less time to worry about things beyond my control.

I take advantage of my creativity to make good use of what is in front of me. It makes me smile when I can make positive prospects for myself in the present.

Being happy lets me have a clear mind. Clarity opens up possibilities and perfects my vision. The future seems more certain when I avoid clouding it with discontent.

While my current job may offer little inspiration, I stay thankful for the opportunity. As I put things for an exciting career, I also concentrate on giving my all to everything I do today. I accomplish my business tasks with a smile.

I set modest goals and celebrate when I reach them. They remind me that, even though the bigger prize is further away, I still have something to be grateful for every day.

I concentrate on people and situations that give me a sense of joy. I think...

 If I keep my life goals in mind each day, I am more focused on reaching them to build the life I want to live. I decide how my actions relate to a bigger goal.

I choose to spend my valuable time working towards what I want to do in life. I regularly revisit my goals to ensure that I am on the correct path. My plans at times change. I reflect and try to look forward to my dreams for the future.

On the first day of every month, I review my life goals. This makes them seem more natural, enabling me to keep my eyes on the prize. Obtaining everything I would like in life centers on my ability to remain motivated.

If I know my goals and keep them at the forefront of my mind, my days will be more fulfilling.

I can let go of minor issues. When something I am spending a lot of time on conflicts with my overall goals, I reevaluate whether I should continue focusing on it.

Today, I process everything I want to accomplish in life. When my goals are...

I can never be sure of what each day holds for me. Occasionally, events arise outside of my power. Other times, I am engaged in what takes place.

At times I can circumvent the development of challenging situations. Since there are occasions where my behavior and choices make a difference, I try to be proactive.

Being proactive means taking control by doing something at the moment instead of waiting until the situation unfolds.

I try to stay on top of situations that can complicate my day. Trying to do everything I can to prevent or lessen negative happenings is crucial to me.

Something as simple as speaking clearly to others in a timely fashion is often the best step I take to be proactive. I recognize my power to affect events with my family, friends, and coworkers.

As long as I consider my surroundings and stay in tune with the individuals in my immediate environment, I can take action to bypass a problematic situation that may develop.

Financial stability is one of my goals in life. I believe I can attain it honestly by working hard. However, the hard work required for financial achievement is easy for me. When I focus on my end goal, the work necessary to get there seems effortless.

Planning my future contributes to my financial goal. I set targets for 5 and 10 years down the line. I commit to savings and investments based on those targets.

When I set a monthly savings goal, I stick to that commitment. I know that building for tomorrow is more important than taking care of today's wants.

I allow myself to partake in frivolous spending once in a while. I believe that enjoyment of what I have acquired only encourages me to keep working for more.

My life goals are prioritized based on long-term desires. I remain unperturbed by the achievements of others in the present. The experiences of others are unique.

I look forward to my celebration at the targeted times.
