               Inspirational Book of the Month - July 2008

                       "Happier"        
                                                   by Tal Ben-Shahar
 
                     "Goals and Success"

    "Goals communicate, to ourselves and to others, the
belief that we are capable of overcoming obstacles.  

     Imagine your life as a journey.  

     You are walking, knapsack on your back, making good
progress, until suddenly you reach a brick wall that stands
in the way of reaching your destination.  What do you do?

     Do you turn around, avoid the challenge  posed by the
barrier?  Or do you take the opposite approach and throw
your knapsack over the wall, thus committing yourself to 
finding ways to getting through, around , or over the wall? 

     In 1879 Thomas Edison announced that he would 
publicly display the electric light bulb by December 31,
even though all his experiments had, to that point, failed. 
He threw his knapsack over the brick wall - the numerous
challenges that he still faced - and on the last day of that
year, there was light.

     A goal, an explicit commitment, focuses our attention
on the target and helps us to find ways of getting there.
The goal can be as simple as buying a computer or as
complex as climbing Mount Everest. 

     Beliefs, psychologists tell us, are self-fulfilling prophecies,
and when we commit, when we throw our knapsack over
the brick wall, we demonstrate faith in ourselves, in our
ability to achieve an envisioned future.  We create our reality
rather than react to it.

     Think of an experience or two where you committed to 
something.  What were the consequences of your 
commitment?  What are you committed to now?"
