You’re probably reading this because you have an interest in improving some aspect of your life. The good news is that there are many simple things you can do to improve your experience of life and I aim to cover many of them in the following seven chapters.

To begin, I’d like to ask, “Who is going to have the biggest effect on your future life?”

Having accepted personal responsibility for our own lives, the next step in taking control of them is to identify and develop a set of clear goals.

Clear goals are essential to building the life we want, rather than settling for the one we’ve grown into. They will provide direction and motivation and, if well formed, they can literally transform our lives.

The initial impetus to set goals is something for which we seem to have a natural tendency. To some degree we all set them all the time. However, achieving goals – actually seeing them through to completion - would seem to be less innate! When most of us sit down to set ourselves goals, there is a brief surge of energy, enthusiasm and progress before we lose momentum and eventually give up and drift back into our old ways of thinking and behaving.

Perhaps the most familiar example of this is the making of New Year Resolutions. Have you ever made one? Did you keep to it? If ‘Yes’ – Well done! What follows in this chapter may be familiar to you already. If ‘No’ - Take heart! The reason you didn’t succeed is probably attributable to the quality of your goal setting technique rather that the lack of will power you may well have blamed.

We often know at some level that we aren’t living the life we would like to. We may even have a clear goal – but somehow, frustratingly, we still just don’t seem able to make long-term sustainable change in our lives. Despite developing clear goals, deciding on a plan and taking action, somehow we continue to lose our way and find ourselves stuck back where we started – or, perish the thought, in an even worse spot than before!

Imagine for a moment that you are waiting for an important meeting. You’ve been up since the early hours preparing, and you’re really excited about how things are developing. You arrive five minutes early and the clock ticks slowly on as the designated time approaches. You are on tenterhooks, excited and apprehensive. Then as the clock hand moves slowly past the appointed time you begin to wonder where the other person is. Self-doubt sets in. What could have happened? Are you in the right place? Have you got the wrong time? In the end you decide that whatever happened they’re not going to turn up. Deflated and dejected, you make your way home.
