" DO NOT CONFUSE YOUR MEANS WITH YOUR ENDS " BY GO BLANSON

Hello Tribe, it has come to my attention that when some people set goals, they often get the " ENDS " confused with the " MEANS!" What do I mean you ask ? Well, some people tend to mix the " MEANS "[ how they can achieve the goal ] to getting what they want, with the " ENDS "(what they really want to achieve. Example : A person wants a new car( the ends ), so they focus on getting two jobs( the means ).In this example, the jobs are clearly the " MEANS," to getting the " ENDS "{ the new vehicle }. You see, when people " CONFUSE " the " ENDS " with the " MEANS," people end up " DO DOING " things that they didn't really have to do.With that being said,before you decide to pursue a goal, I suggest that you do as STEPHEN COVEY suggests and make sure that you " BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND!" When I say " BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND," I mean that you should " VISUALIZE " the outcome( in your mind ). We must " RELEARN " how to turn our " IDEAS " over to our " IMAGINATION " and " SUBCONSCIOUS MIND " to go to " WORKS " on formulating a practical plan that will reveal the proper " MEANS " for achieving the " ENDS " that we WANT ! NOW let's go back to the FIRST goal that you want to achieve.James Fadiman in his wonderful book," BE ALL THAT YOU ARE " said," Before you begin the pursuit of your goal, you should first decide whether or not the goal is your goal or somebody else's goal.Once you decide that the goal is yours, you can go ahead and commit the goal to " WRITING." Someone said, once you are able to " COMMIT YOUR GOAL TO WRITING "( in clear specific terms ),you are half-way to achieving your goal.
