The Power of Goals
Goal setting is indeed the single most powerful tool that everyone should use to achieve exceedingly and abundantly more than you could ever imagine or ask for.
I didn’t always know about setting goals, until I became intentional about my life, with the determination to live a fulfilled life.
Over the years, what I have learned is that no one rises to low expectations and that without a vision we are unlikely to live a fraction of the potential that God has put in us.
Moreover, there’s a belief that when we write our goals down, we trigger the snowball effect for the universe to set us up for success, by sending everything and everyone we need throughout the process of accomplishing our goals.
For instance, in the year 2022, one of my financial goals is to earn and save an exact amount of money. I wrote it down, put it up on my wall and I read it every single day.
Also, to my pleasant surprise, I have realized that the more I read my goals, the more for some strange reason I find myself coming across and doing the things that will lead me towards the engulfment of my goal(s).
I strongly recommend for you to try it out and Learn how to make an impactful vision board!
Last night, through no effort of mine, I stumbled upon Kelly’s interview. Since I delved deep into the world of personal development and intentional living, everything seems to be falling into place in the world around me.
I don’t believe in coincidences, instead, I think that a “coincidence” is God’s way of staying anonymous. The bible tells us that God crowns efforts with success. And even goes further to tell us that “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance.” (Proverbs 21:5).
I have been trading stocks for a year now, but never did I imagine that anyone can turn a mere 26 dollars into 100,000 dollars in less than a year, let alone a 19-year old broke Nigerian American girl.
A few months back I wrote an article about Africa and the scarcity mentality in which I insisted that we should not be envious of people who have found their path and are succeeding already because there’s plenty of money to be made. We should encourage each other and succeed together. Kelly’s story is yet another proof that abundance awaits us if we set out for the treasure hunt.
I told you all that there’s plenty of money in the world, waiting to be made right.. see how much this young woman made in so little time.
At this juncture, I believe all we need to do is unlearn laziness, work more on ourselves than we work at our jobs, hang around with the right people(her instagram friends were making money trading already), and instead of spending our time watching people’s lives on social media, we learn new skills like Kelly did and perhaps we could change our stories.
This motivated me so much last night and I couldn’t wait to share it with you all.. you can Google her and check her out on YouTube.
