Grow for the goal!
We all have within us the courage to accept the challenge of choosing a
direction in our lives. Setting and reaching for goals is a challenge
because it requires thought, stretching, self-discipline, strength and
work. If
you want to get ahead, use the one you've got! We are all given
potential and the choice of what to do with it. We fulfill our
potential through goal-setting.

Goal
setting is a continuous process. Keep your eyes on the road, or you may
drift off course. Use your compass and map to guide you. Keep a success
file of goals you have accomplished. Remember that you are the driver:
You are the
one that has to decide
Whether
you'll do it or toss it aside
You are the
one who makes up your mind
Whether
you'll lead or linger behind
Whether
you'll try for the goal that's afar
Or be
contented to stay where you are
Take it or
leave it, here's something to do
Just think
it over, it's all up to you!
