Control The Direction of Your Life

Motivational Power Quotes

Control The Direction of Your Life

“Goals allow you to control the

direction of change in your favor.”

Brian Tracy, author

As I see it . . . . . . .

Control the direction of your life

Efforts along will not create success; if you’re working hard and going in the wrong direction you will have very limited or no positive gain in your career.

To control the direction of your life and your career path you’ll have to know where you’re going and how you’re going to get there. The road map for a successful career is in having written goals and using your goals to guild your success journey.

You have to have the courage to indentify and to create your purpose and to determine your direction that you want your life to take. You will have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone and into the future with confidence.

The moment that you make those decisions you have began to start to take control the direction of your life and your success journey.

We have to indentify the direction that we want our lives to take us and create a plan to get us there. Once we establish that direction we have to pursue that course with a purpose and with massive action. At that moment you will control the direction of your life.
