Chapter : 21            

Hello guys! In this opportunity i would like to review book entitled Goals! (How to Get Everything You Want — Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible ) by Brian Tracy , and i want to review this book chapter by chapter . There is 21 chapter in this book , and i will review 5 chapter every post.
                        
First chapter is about "Unlock Your Potential" , it is important for the readers because if the readers get the point from this tittle , the readers can know the deepest potential of them , and in this book the writter said that :

“The potential of the average person is like a huge ocean unsailed, a
new continent unexplored, a world of possibilities waiting to be released and
channeled toward some great good.”

It's means your ability to set goals is the master skill of success. Goals unlock your positive mind and release ideas and energy for goal attainment. Without goals, you simply drift and flow on the currents of life. With goals, you fly like an arrow, straight and true to your target.

And second chapter tell about "Take Charge Of Your Life".

“A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with – a man is
what he makes of himself.” (Alexander Graham Bell)

The writter tell a story when he was 21, he was broke and living in a small one-room apartment, in the middle of a very cold winter, working on a construction job during the day. He usually couldn’t afford to go out of his apartment in the evenings, where at least it was warm, so he had a lot of time to think. One night as he sat there at my small kitchen table, he had a great flash of awareness. It changed my life. He suddenly realized that everything that happened to me for the rest of his life was going to be up to me. No one else was ever going to help him. No one was coming to the rescue. He was thousands of miles from home with no intentions of going back for a long time. He saw clearly at that moment that if anything in his life were going to change, it would have to begin with me. If he didn’t change, nothing else would change. He wasr esponsible.

After that in third chapter "Create Your Own Future"

“You will become large as your controlling desire; or as great as your dominant aspiration.” (James Allen)

In more than 3300 studies of leaders conducted over the years, there is a special quality that stands out, one quality that all great leaders have in common. It is the quality of vision. Leaders have vision. Non-leaders do not. Earlier I said that the most important discovery in all of human history is that, “You become what you think about — most of the time.” What is it then that leaders think about, most of the time? And the answer is that leaders think about the future and where they are going, and what they can do to get there. Non-leaders, on the other hand, think about the present, and the pleasures and problems of the moment. They think and worry about the past, and what has happened that cannot be changed.

Next in fourth chapter tell about "Clarify Your Values"

“One universe made up of all that is: and one God in it all, and one
principle of being, and one law, the reason shared by all thinking creatures,
and one truth.” (Marcus Aurelius)

One of the most important characteristics of leaders, and top people in every area of life, is that they know who they are, what they believe in and what they stand for. Average people are usually confused about their goals, values and ideals, and as a result, they go back and forth and accomplish very little. Men and women who become leaders, on the other hand, with the same or even fewer abilities and opportunities, go onto accomplish great things in whatever they attempt. Life is lived from the inside out. The very core of your personality is your values. Your values are what make you the person you are. Everything you do on the outside is dictated and determined by your values on the inside, whether clear or fuzzy. The greater
clarity you have regarding your values on the inside, the more precise and effective will be your actions on the outside.

Furthermore in fifth chapter Determine Your True Goals.

“Realize what you really want. It stops you from chasing butterflies
and puts you to work digging gold.” (William Moulton Marsden)

My favorite word in goal setting, and in success in general, is the word “Clarity.” There is a direct relationship between the level of clarity you have about who you are and what you want, and virtually everything you accomplish in life. Superior men and women invest the time necessary to develop absolute clarity about themselves and what they really want, like designing a detailed blueprint for a building, before they begin construction. Average people just throw themselves at life, like a dog chasing a passing car, and wonder why they never seem to catch anything, or keep anything worthwhile. Henry David Thoreau once wrote, “Have you built your castles in the air? Good. That is where they should be built. Now, go to work and build foundations under them.”

Thanks for your great attention , and see you again in the next posting .
