Why do I need Goals?

This Saturday sees the launch of our book ‘Your Future – A practical guide to action’ and this morning when I switched on my computer the first email I read was about the importance of having a goal or dream to aim for.  Talk about coincidence!

This email took me to a video clip on You Tube which was so incredible that I just have to share it with you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BewknNW2b8Y,

Please take the time to watch the whole clip, it is only 8 minutes but it is so inspiring.  If this boy hadn’t had a dream/goal which he was determined to fulfil I can’t imagine how bad his life would have been.  It clearly shows that no matter how bad things may seem, with a bit of determination, passion and a burning desire to succeed, you can live your dream.

And in case you don’t know what he is singing about, here are some of the words:

Nella Fantasia… “In my fantasy I see a just world where everyone lives in peace and honesty

I dream of a place to live that is always free …Like a cloud that floats 

Full of humanity in the depths of the soul 

In my fantasy I see a bright world where each night there is less darkness

I dream of souls that are always free like the cloud that floats”

If you know of another success story that illustrates what can be achieved by living a dream/goal, I’d love to hear it.
