Viktor Frankl once said that "life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives." As we focus our energies on both celebrating our achievements and looking ahead to new frontiers, we can begin to see the forming of habits that lead to continuing growth and an expansion of our abilities. The fuel for this change can be summed up in one word - "motivation!"

We have the tools to change our lives and all we need is to keep the motivation to climb to new heights, build better relationships with those we know and love, and create more opportunities than is handed to us by life itself.

Let me tell you about a class member.  Her name is Tiffany Carson, and she was in my class almost 10 years ago, but I will always remember her.  She was like many class members, shy at first, but with a driving motivation to get over it.  She did, with flying colors!  You will remember our session where everyone taught the class how to do something in 4 or 5 easy steps.  She showed us her version of goal setting - "Tiffany Carson's Excellent Adventure!"

Simply put, list five dreams that you might like to accomplish in your lifetime.  For me, I included things like "travel in space", "run the Boston marathon", "see the Titanic from a sub", and "visit the set of a Startrek movie".  Yes, they were hard dreams, but the point was that Tiffany got us all to think in terms of hard dreams.  I achieved one that very year - the Boston Marathon!  Each time I achieve something on the list, it opens the door for a new one to be added.

Tiffany, you showed us all that we should "Think BIG" with our goals and dreams!  Thank you!
