Goal Setting (Part Two) - Summa Sessions

On today’s Summa Session, we continue our talk on setting goals. Johnny led us off talking about Octavia Butler, who wrote on the inside of her notebook her goals of becoming a best-selling author and turned those dreams into a reality. That led to Danae talking about a podcast she listened to where they discussed setting their goals in the present tense- not “I will” but “I am”- and crossing them off once achieved to start a new goal. She also had two quotes, one from Disney about setting your goals early, and one from Michelangelo about not being afraid to set high goals and fail, but to be wary of setting too easy of goals that are easily achievable. Chris then discussed the 7 pillars of setting goals- deadline, plan, self-discipline, self-control, focusing, systems, and taking action, and we talked about how this strategy applies to our daily goal setting. Nick finished it off on how to transform your thoughts to reality with a quote from The Ultimate Guide to Success.
