		<description>Thanks for your comments Eva.  Although others are involved in goals like marriage and families, you can still realize them.  You need to first visualize the end result so clearly in your mind that it is real - you can feel it, hear it and see it.  Keep that focus and your sub-concious mind will work with the laws of nature to make it a reality.  Mind you, it may not be with the exact same person you visualize, but with another. It also requires you to take action when the opportunities arise.  Hope this helps.</description>

		<description>Dear Bob, 
I always read with great interest your articles and blogs. They are so inspiring in everyday life. 
With regards to the Goals, I totally agree that when you define your goals clearly and SMART, there is 95 % chance to achieve them. I did try by myself and yes it works, when it is about project in work, baying a house, personal development, etc. 

But what will happen to those goals, which realization doesn’t depend of you. For example I am not married. I want to have family, but it doesn’t happen, so many years. I am 35. Because in this endeavor the wish should be mutual, there is involved one more person’s wish and goal. You can’t control the other’s. You can only put in control your own goals. 

So some goals can’t be SMART, they can be only dreams, and disappointment, when they are not realized.

But for anything you have the power to control and it depends of you, yes the achievement, the positive outcome is definitely possible.

Thank you for your inspiration. 

Regards,

		<description>The key again is discipline - respecting a commitment to yourself and doing what you have to do, even when you don&#039;t want to do it.  Get started!  Make it specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and include a timetable.</description>

		<description>I agree with Mara about the difficulty of sticking to the plan.

Why do so many people set goals, start to make progress and then backslide diminishing the results they get? Why do many people start to consciously work towards their goals and then unconsciously sabotage their success?
The answer is simply. Many people do not condition themselves. We are creatures of habit. Our daily habits(actions/behaviors) determine our results.
A key element in achieving goals is conditioning your neurology for success. By doing so, you will keep in alignment at the neurological level. Why and how does this work??</description>

		<description>To set a goal and plan to achieve it, is not so difficult. The difficulty to stick to the plans comes up in the everyday life as there again and again come up things that are of utmost importance and take time to get done and then you realize that you are back a few day or even week on your plan. But I like your points for goal setting, especially one and that is the question: Is this really my goal? Great question!</description>
