A goal statement stimulates the imagination. Inspires the thoughts, warms the heart, creates an adventure in Beauty and discovery while lifting the spirit in faith, hope and charity; leading to the formation of habits that make peace, happiness and success inevitable; because it is in harmony with truth, everything lovely virtuous of good report and praiseworthy, with principal and law, as we are guided by the spirit to overcome all adversity and every corrupt thing.
The crucial objectives prepare the terrain leading to Our Success. The tools, resources, skills methods and means necessary to achieve every worthwhile goal or objective are these: cherished values, accurate thoughts, virtuous emotions, that foster and promote honourable. virtuous, correct Behavior; leading to self-mastery and spirituality.
This suggests that conventional goal-setting puts the cart before the horse. I mean that before we can set a goal we must first determine the values that are in harmony with principal and law. This requires us to redefine what we consider positive efforts, intent purpose and means. I suggest the following should be our Schoolmaster to establish the crucial tactics necessary to be in harmony with the previous observations to determine our goal values objectives and tactics themselves.
Positive Thought
by Phillip L. Hansen
As I Think of All the Things that I Must Do,
I must do them in an order that is true.
I must form the habits that are in line,
To reach the goal and purpose in my mind.
I must learn the truth of all things too,
And harmonize all my efforts it is true,
With all principles and laws that do combine,
to make all dreams come true like yours and mine.
The First Tactic, Choosing Values in Perfect Harmony
Our values are at the hearts of good conscience. Without good conscience no Goodwill can be obtained, as we would be out of harmony with the very values and purpose of a good conscience.
Let me explain what I mean. Goals cannot be determined by a figment of the imagination, conjecture or dream that is out of harmony with truth, as natural and eternal principle and law are the framework or narrow path we must walk if we are to see or achieve that dream or desire. Only if my dream is in harmony with natural or Eternal principle and law, or if it is sustained by obedience to those principles and laws, can we then achieve or realize such a dream.
Another point is that we live in a world of cause and effect, where we are affected by the elements and other free agents or persons, organizations and beings in our world -- both physical and spiritual in nature. Therefore we may conclude that the mischief in the world is caused by those beings that are out of harmony with their purpose. Furthermore this implies that misguided intelligence is the cause of al Mischief in the world; by those that think they know what "ain't so."
Until we recognize the fact of our own ignorance and dependency in knowing we are out of harmony with truth principal and law; along with other free agents, in this respect. How could we prosper and gain Mutual harmonious goals and objectives, or even apply useful tactics, while seeking the right thing, without mistakenly using the wrong means or methods and tools, which are out of harmony with principles and laws we must satisfy to prosper?
The second tactic: accurate tools of thought and Imagination
Accurate thought is the outcome of keenness in seven senses: the power of sight, and observation, the acuteness of our hearing, the keenness of our smell, taste, touch and Discerning of Spiritual Development.
A good conscience is nurtured by the depth of purpose and intent. Seek and you shall find, ask and it shall be given, knock and it shall be opened unto you." What good is this, if the senses we use to observe or perceive our physical and spiritual world are incomplete, inaccurate, unclear and difficult to recognize or recall from memory?
If Our conscience is guided by accurate plain clear knowledge of recall in memory, we enjoy the attributes of a good conscience. Anything less than this would lead to gross error and hurtful events in life. Therefore we must develop the skills and acquire the attributes that improve our power of observation; the use of our seven senses fixed in memory for easy clear and accurate recall.
The third tactic:
the power and Mastery of our emotions.
"CREATIVE IMAGINATION IS THE
SPIRITUAL ANVIL UPON WHICH WE SHAPE OUR DREAMS.
WITH PRINCIPLES OF EVERLASTING TRUTH, THE INTANGIBLE
DREAM IS FORGED. DREAMS MIXED IN THE FIRES OF
DESIRE, AN ACTIVE FAITH AND DEFINITE DETERMINED
PURPOSE, WILL FORGE THE DREAM; TEMPERED, IN
THE WATERS OF PATIENT, PERSISTENCE,
PEACEFUL ASSURANCE; -CONFIRMING
THAT ALL ACHIEVEMENTS,
AWAIT PERSISTENT CORRECT ACTION; TO SEEK,
ASK AND KNOCK UNTILL IT BECOMES A REALITY."
-Phillip L. Hansen
The desires of the heart, the dreams and aspirations of things that we secretly and openly most loved are what nurture and cultivate our disposition or emotional habits, our attitude or mental habits, the composer and director behind the scenes of all our Behavior.
I deem these truths to be self-evident; truths that stand on their own, requiring no more proof or evidence.
