In a world of ever-competing focuses, there are many diversions and deceptions that can easily sidetrack us from our main goals.

If your faith is grounded in truth and you have a very strong mind to accomplish something of great value, then you must focus very strongly on it in order to make it come to pass.

Another way of looking at this is that you must believe something is possible before you can endeavor to achieve it.

You must have an overcoming attitude about the problems that will inevitably challenge your progress and your faith as you move toward your goals.

If you have counter-competing goals, “Plan B, C, D, Etc. goals,” then it is imperative that you either set them aside or eliminate them completely from the equation of your main focus.

If you do not set these competing goals aside or eliminate them, then you will likely have problems with confusing thoughts about your main goal and will not have the drive to continue with it.

Ultimately, Plan B, C, D, Etc. will get in the way and cause you not to go as far or get anywhere with your Plan A Main Goal.

But you say that you can multi-task and are an expert multi-tasker.  That may be true, but it may also muddy the water of your main goal and take the focus and energy away from it that you need to make it come to pass.

This does, of course, have to do with the value that you place on your main goal.  If Plan B, C, D, Etc. counter the focus of the main goal and you don’t have the intensity of faith (confidence and courage) to achieve the main goal, then you will certainly need to set the countering plans aside so you can keep the main goal, the main goal.

Priority is king when it comes to achieving the main goal over the countering and competing goals.

If you want your hopes and dreams to come to pass, then you must have a plan to achieve them, one by one, that focuses on the value, priority, and ultimately the intensity of your focus on the goal.

Working the plan of each goal will take real work and will ultimately be the deciding factor of whether or not you will bring the dream to pass from your mind to the physical realm.

Continuing to focus on the dream as if you already have it is imperative to getting what you want, because it keeps you inspired to move ahead with the plan that you are working, even when times get tough and everything seems to be going in the wrong direction.

Having a hot burning desire in your heart to get what you are focusing on, based on a picture or dream of what you want to come to pass is what you need to get what you want.

This may be as important to you achieving your goal as having the basic faith, courage, and dream to get your goal to manifest in the future.

Ultimately, achieving your goal-based-dreams comes down to an ingredients list:

1. You need truth-based faith  – the belief that you can get what you want – whatever it is that you desire.  This faith will make you strong and courageous about what you want.  You have to eliminate fear, doubt, and unbelief (lies about what is possible) in order to keep your truth-based faith strong.
2. This faith will stir a hot burning desire in you once you have a dream or vision for what you want.  It is important that you have an inspired dream that comes from a good source – preferably not a selfish one.
3. You should have friends who agree with you and back you up in your dream.
4. You should be generous with people in need and operate in rejoicing toward God about what He has given you already in a vision or dream.  He will repay you exponentially more with greater faith over your generosity and help you with more opportunities to get ahead as you work your plan to achieve the goal that you are focusing on.
5. You must operate in gratitude along the way to achieving your main goal as whiners don’t go very far – too many complaints.
6. You must strengthen your faith as you move ahead, because drawbacks or  problems will happen.  They are a normal part of the process to fulfilling life’s goals and dreams and this is especially true when you begin to not only focus, but work your plan to achieving your goal.  You must have an overcoming attitude when drawbacks start coming your way.
7. You must keep your chin up and have a attitude that you already have what you want and that it is only a matter of time before you have what you have already been given in a dream.  This must be accompanied by that hot burning desire in your heart to keep moving forward – perseverance is the key!
8. Keep going and push with gratitude until you get what you want – you got it and it is in your hand – don’t give up until you get it!

All in all, it can be summed up in one 3 word phrase:  FAITH, HOPE, LOVE.

If you have the belief and courage to face and overcome challenges and problems with unwavering boldness (FAITH) — arising from the inspiration of positive, inspired faith (anchored in a dream, vision, or mental picture that drives you toward your main goal ) (HOPE) — then you are undeniably an official “GO-GETTER!”

Your love for life-inspired goals will come to you as you proclaim what you want and move ahead with the right plan.  It is the action or working of your main plan that is the most important part of the equation to help you achieve the main goal that you are presently focusing on (LOVE).

Don’t let the problems of the plan trip you up, but keep focusing on what it is that you want, and move forward in gratitude and you will get what you want.

Desires and dreams come from the heart and God-inspired ones are the best ones – so focus on them and you will not be disappointed with the fruitfulness that comes from the reward of good applied faith.

Peace and Prosperity to You!

Take Care of Yourself and Have A Great Time Achieving Your Goals  – God Bless You!
