The Importance of Goals Setting, Pizza Shop Analogy.

If you don't know where you are going, any old road will take you there... Sound familiar?

You have probably heard this expression or sayings similar throughout your whole life. That is because within these simple words is a MASSIVE message! It is the base of all achievement and without mastering the wisdom contained within these words, having success in your life will be almost IMPOSSIBLE. So what does it really mean?

Consider this...

You are the boss of a pizza shop... You have two delivery drivers who work for you, their names are Subconscious mind and The Universe, they are conjoined twins. (Try to stick with me) The pizza's you sell in your shop actually represent you on your journey through life and the delivery address's are your dreams and goals... Imagine the following scenario.


You - "Hey Universe and Subconscious, Go deliver this pizza"

Universe and Subconscious - "Sure boss, where to?"

You - "I haven't thought about it and don't have time for stupid questions, just deliver it!"

Universe and Subconscious - " If you tell me where it needs to go, I will go and do it"

You - "What did I just say?, Go out that door and deliver the pizza or you are fired!"

Universe and Subconscious - "..."

So Universe and Subconscious go out the door, have no idea where they are going so walk aimlessly around until the pizza goes cold. The pizza i.e "your journey through life" is now worthless and meaningless as nobody likes cold pizza.

Had you the boss given Universe and Subconscious clear instructions as to where the pizza was meant to go i.e "Your Goal", they would have figured out the rest and delivered the pizza. Your only job as the boss is to tell your little employee's where to deliver your tasty pizzas and they are smart enough to find the way themselves.

Hopefully you are not utterly confused at this point in time. But the meaning of this story is that without a clear goal, you cant even start. If you never start, well... the rest is pretty obvious, you'll go nowhere.

By taking the time to set clear and precise goals you will be preparing the Universe and your subconscious to find ways to achieve them. They are the two hardest working employees you will ever have working for you, no task is ever too big, too hard or impossible. They work 24/7 and never take time off. All they ask is for you to feed them good positive thoughts and believe in their abilities to achieve what ever it is you want them to.

If however you feed them negative, don't believe they can get the job done and don't have a goal for them to chase... they will get bored and confused and end up trashing your pizza store, stealing money from the till and creating nothing but negative in your life.

So set goals, think positive thoughts and believe that the universe and your subconscious will find the way, they are experts.
