I must admit that I write these posts working on the assumption that you are working on achieving a goal of some sort, I have a goal that I'm working towards also.

The problem of course though is that if you were to imagine where you are now and where you want to be it's rarely a straight line!  You may have found like me that it's just so easy to be bumped off the path, to perhaps be completely on the wrong track to you goal.

Well, here's something important.  It's only you that put you there and it's only you that can get yourself back on track!  It might be hard to hear, but it's your fault if you aren't on track right now.

It's not that thing that guy said, or that you missed your train, or that you didn't get paid on time.  I struggle with this constantly because it's so easy to blame someone else or something else for where you are in your life.

So how do you fix it?  It takes constant, daily effort.  You need to figure out a way that reminds you of where you are going every single day.  Some ideas:

• Set the background of your computer desktop to a picture that will remind you of your goal.
• Put something small and subtle somewhere you are bound to see it everyday as a reminder (like a red dot on your keys or something)
• Set a reminder on your cell phone for every morning that just says a single word that reminds you of your objective.

There are hundreds of ways that you can remind yourself, what ideas do you have?
