More Effective Goal Setting

By: Mohamad Latiff

Traditional goal setting does not work as effectively as most 'experts' would have you believe.

This is because there is one factor, one key, a missing link, which, without it, you'd simply have no motivation to go about doing the things you are supposed to do to bring about the achievement of your goal.

And that is The Big Picture. Now, this is in my own words, what I've learned from an audio interview I listened to a few days ago.

What do I mean by The Big Picture?

The Big Picture is like a Vision. It's an Obsession. A Passion. A Dream. A big, grand, bold dream that you have for your life.

In other words, it is a Purpose. A Life Purpose.

I know these may all sound like big words to you, but the point here is for you to have an ultimate purpose for all your goals in life. What most people have are goals for material objects or for career advancements or monetary gains.

Most people, and I didn't say ALL, merely stop at these 'bite-sized pieces', these small goals when it comes to goal setting. They don't continue on to think about why they set these goals and for what even bigger purpose do they set these goals.
Ask yourselves - why do I want this new Mercedes? Why do I want this big mansion? Why do I want to earn an extra $100,000 a year? Why do I want to have so and so person as my spouse? Why?

Keep asking why. And again, most people would realise that it comes down to a feeling or sense of fulfilment, happiness, of being loved, of being secure and safe, or of being free. Some people would just say, "I just want these things".

Well, all that may sound good and fine but do you truly think that once you get that Mercedes or that big mansion or the extra $100,000 a year or that person as your spouse, you'd be truly happy, fulfilled, free, secure and alive?

Try and look back at one past goal which you have achieved. Take a look at one milestone which you've already gone through. Do you find yourself something saying something like, "And now what"?

Most of us do. That's because we don't have that biggest, ultimate, most grand purpose for our lives. The reason why we are born. Some people call it destiny, or phrase it as "God's place for you in the world". Whatever it is, don't think of it as something beyond your power.

This thing called Purpose or The Big Picture is a thing that is both within your power to choose and also outside your power to choose. It is the sum total of all your life choices from the day you were born up to this very day.

The proof that it is within your power to choose is the fact that you've been making all the choices and decisions in your life all this while, asking for this and that, regardless of whether or not you got what you asked for, to build up an image, a vision or The Big Picture of your life, which is your ultimate life purpose - that reason you were born and the thing that you must fulfill in your life before you die.

Whereas the proof that it is also beyond your power to choose is the fact that you already have made all those choices before in your past and there is little or nothing you can do to alter those choices you've made in the past. There are some decisions we made which we can undo, but not without a significant amount of trouble, and there are many decisions we simply cannot undo.

This is the irony of human life and why it is beautiful to be human.

But if you are sitting right there where you are, reading this post, you still have hope. You do still have a chance. Create for yourself a grand vision of your life - why you are here on this Earth. Conceive big, bold dreams.

Imagine you are a historian or a scholar studying the history of your life. What would you like to be remembered for? What would you like to be famous for? What would you like to be associated with whenever your name is mentioned?

Write an essay about yourself, as if you were a historian in the future, looking back into your life. Include all the glorious things you have achieved, and even the flaws, the mistakes and huge failures you've made. But also include how you've transcended these flaws, mistakes and failures. Write about the difference you've made to the world, no matter how small (or big) it is.

Have you left behind a wonderful family? Have you left behind a legacy? Have you left behind a successful business? Or simply a happy memory in the mind of a person you've helped in a small or big way?

Now, after you've done this exercise, you may proceed with your traditional goal setting methods. Create sub-goals out of this Big Goal of your life. Create the secondary goals to this Primary Goal. Set the milestone goals that would define your ultimate life purpose.

What this does to you is create a certain insurance or feeling of security, because, although you may fail to achieve your small goals (no matter how bold they seem to be), you're still on track because you have not lost sight of your ultimate life goal.

Goal Setting Secrets of the Greatest Achievers

By: Mohammad Latiff

A 7th century Arabian genius once said, "Success is the result of foresight and resolution, foresight depends upon deep thinking and planning, and the most important factor of planning is to keep your secrets to yourself." The name of this genius was Ali Ibn Abi Thalib, one of the most illustrious, noblest and brilliant leaders of the continent-sweeping Islamic civilization that was left behind by the Prophet Muhammad.

However, it is not the object of this article to discuss a religious figure or the history of a civilization. The quote provided above is to set the impetus for the rest of this article.

"Success is the result of foresight and resolution, foresight depends upon deep thinking and planning, and the most important factor of planning is to keep your secrets to yourself."

It is impossible and illogical by definition and reality to achieve any measure of success without any thought, planning or goal setting put into it. Any attainment that is born out of randomness and chance is not to be regarded a success at all, just as a momentous lottery winning should not be called an achievement.

The achievement of a goal, by definition, requires that there be an element of conscious planning and subsequent effort put into it, because a goal is a purpose that any person, entity or enterprise is working consciously towards. No matter how vague or clear the goal is, some degree of planning, implementation, tracking and refinement is definitely involved.

If you are to observe the life stories of achievers either in your lifetime or in history, you would realize that the truth about their success can be attributed to a number of very common, universal, timeless and unchanging factors - or principles.

These undying principles are universally applicable to almost every area or field of endeavor, from industry to academia, from the ivory towers of the corporate world to the warmth, comfort and safety of a nursery. Changes and challenges that are developing in the world neither add to nor subtract from the validity of these principles. They only serve to create permutations and evolutions in the application of them and not the essence.

Now, what are these principles exactly? Here I shall be listing a few of my findings -

1. The greatest achievers are driven by a huge, humongous, all-consuming Vision either for their lives or for the world. They view the world as a perfect playing field to manifest and make concrete their visionary ideas and are often driven by this vision, whether or not they are consciously aware of it from moment to moment.

2. They set targets and objectives that are in alignment with this grand vision of theirs. They also have the discipline to reject and ignore so-called opportunities, developments, innovations and temptations that are not in alignment with their great vision, often creating enemies because of this. Nevertheless, those who stayed faithful to these achievers and their vision prove themselves worthy as true friends and partners in bringing about their visions to reality.

3. They seek out the best possible methods to accomplish what they seek, never settling for mediocrity or lackadaisical efforts. To these achievers, the terms 'laziness' or 'hard work' are concepts foreign to them. What they are driven by is their vision and the goals they must achieve in order to meet that vision. Whatever it takes to accomplish those targets of theirs, they will accept, and although they are humans too and can feel exhaustion, they do not view the necessary work as something to dread, but something to live with, even enjoy.

4. The great achievers are constantly learning. They learn from their mistakes, from other people's mistakes, from their observations of the necessary goal-attaining processes in which they are engrossed.

5. They do not stop at simply learning, they also put their learnings into action, dynamically and consistently refining their methods in real-time. Sometimes the growth and improvements they obtain from their gradual evolutions borne out of their learnings can be very minimal, sometimes they may achieve tremendous improvement, even breakthrough.

But in their minds, they do not discriminate between small improvements and big improvements, neither obsessing over making huge improvements nor being content with only small improvements. All sizes and manners of growth are welcomed by them.

If all the goal setting secrets of the greatest achievers could be condensed into a handful of principles, the 5 listed above would suffice. Every other discussion of planning, thinking, programming, intending, organizing, managing or controlling are simply corollaries of the above 5 principles.

Mohamad Latiff: Law of Attraction

How To Think And Act In A Certain Way To Get The Law Of Attraction To 'Work' For You

By Mohamad Latiff


Your thoughts play an integral part in motivating and steering you towards a certain course of action or actions that can eventually lead you to manifest whatever it is you desire.

Therefore, it is essential to think in a certain way to get the Law of Attraction to 'work' for you.

When you think of something that you wish to manifest, do not expect it to materialize before you. Rather hold a mental image of it with most positive certainty that it is being made or is on its way to you.

After you have formed that mental image in your thought, have unwavering faith that it is coming. Don't think, speak of it in any other way except that you are very certain and confident it will arrive.

You must also claim it as though it is already yours and the key element is to ask for anything that you want in abundance.

Once you are clear about how to think in a certain way, constantly ask yourself the following questions to gear your mind towards this notion of thought:

1) When I think of something that I wish to manifest, how can I hold a mental image of it with most positive certainty and have unwavering faith that it is being made or is on its way to me?

2) Why must I hold a mental image of it with most positive certainty and have unwavering faith that it is being made or is on its way to you?

3) How can I speak of it in any a way that I am very certain and confident it will arrive and that I claim it as my own?

Now that you've understood the importance of thinking in a certain way, you are ready for the next integral part in the manifestation process.

To fully get the Law of Attraction to 'work' for you, you must follow your thoughts with personal actions.

You have not reached a stage whereby you can just think of whatever you want and just magically conjure it in front of you eyes.

And this is the very essence as to why you must supplement any of your thoughts with actions.

But how then do you take actions in a certain way?

You must take the necessary, result producing actions and go on to actually perform them.

You must act in certain ways such that when you attract things or your desires, you will put them in the proper place through these actions. Your thought brings you what you want but your actions will enable you to receive what you want.
Whatever you action is to be, you must act in the NOW, not in the past and not in the future. You have to put your whole mind in present action.

Do not care about how terribly or badly you did yesterday's work, or how to perform tomorrow's task, rather concern yourself with how you can get today's work/tasks done.

And most importantly, you must act upon the things and persons in your environment for your actions to be most effective.

Here are some questions you can ask yourself to act most effectively:

1) What are the best necessary, result producing actions I can take to get what I want?

2) Why are these the best necessary, result producing actions for me to take and get what I want?

3) What actions can I take to put the things or wealth that I want in the proper place after I have attracted them?

4) Why must I take these actions to put the things or wealth that I want in the proper place after I have attracted them?

5) How can I act in the NOW, not in the past or the future?

6) Why is it necessary for me to act in the NOW, not in the past or the future?

7) How can I avoid thinking about how terribly or badly I did yesterday's work or how to perform tomorrow's task?

8) How can I concern myself with how I can get today's work/tasks done?

9) Why should I concern myself with how I can get today's work/tasks done?

10) What steps can I take to act upon the things and persons in my environment?

And there you have it. My simple explanation on how you can think and act in a certain way to get the Law of Attraction to 'work' for you. The onus now lies on you to put into effect what you've just learned and truly manifest whatever it is that you desire.

Have fun manifesting!
