Advice
- The idea sounds easy, but if you don't believe it first it will never work.
- Whatever age you are, setting life goals can be very difficult. Just do it, write how you want to become, what you want to achieve or even possess. Remember that every single breath right now has to be done for that goal and it makes no difference whether you are 16 or 60. Once a goal has been achieved, there will always be a new one. Don't waste too much time figuring out what you want, the answers are already within you.
- 40 years is a long time. If you miss a day you won't be late. You can always catch up the following day.
- The best part is, if you follow this strategy, you will be happy every day. Its effects are extraordinary and you will never falter. You will be like a rock.
- People between the ages of 24 and 30 are the best target for this strategy. In fact they already have an idea of their professional and personal career.
- People under the age of 21 may find this plan inadequate as they still don't know what they want from life. They have yet to find a stable direction and start working towards that goal. They also tend to still be immature for long-term thinking.
- You may not get your goal. It would be sad, wouldn't it? Actually no, the simple fact that you were happy until age 65 will have made sure you increase your productivity and you will still be accomplished.
