There’s a time in my life that’s been coming to mind recently. I was 35. I had lost pretty much everything I had. I was forced to sell my home, lost my business, had a failed relationship. I was in the dumps. As I listened to a self-help motivational tape at the time, it suggested writing down your goals and reading them out loud once a day. I thought it was silly; how could that help? But for grins, I wrote down 10 things that seemed most important to me at the time. The speaker said they needed to be clear and have a timeline. I stuck them on my bathroom mirror and glanced at them from time to time and then as they didn’t come true, lost interest. The commitment he was asking for was to believe in your own future. After a few months, nothing had materialized and I lost the list—or so I thought.
