The Power of Writing Down Your Goals
Michael Phelps has done it. He holds the illustrious title of being the only person ever to win 8 gold medals in one Olympic Games competition. See this article from Time magazine for further details on Phelps: http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1833462,00.html?imw=Y.
Through his talent, hard-work, and determination, Michael has fulfilled his Olympic destiny. Another thing that very likely contributed to Michael’s historic Olympic triumph, is that he visualized his success by writing down his Olympic goals. This is something that all of us can do to help us focus in on what is really important to us, career-wise or in our personal lives. There is something powerful about writing down your goals and desires, and keeping evidence of them. Seeing your goals on paper takes them from the “dream” stage to an undeniable reality that is clear for anyone to see.
Thus, regardless of if your long-term goals are to make partner, start your own firm, go into public interest law, or any other career-related achievement- try taking the time to write down your goals and the steps you need to achieve them. Getting focused and honest about your goals is the first step to success and hopefully you will be on your way to something great.
