the energy you feel within when
you are excited about something. Think back to a time
when you were totally excited about something. May-
be you achieved an A in school, or received a promo-
tion. The explosion of emotions you experienced was
the desire you had for the goal you achieved.
Sometimes we set goals we are not really excited
about. Maybe we want to impress someone or are
forced to pursue a goal we do not really desire.
Pursuing a goal to impress others or
maybe satisfy a
loved one does not create this chemistry we referred
to in the previous pages. Once the goal is set (review
your short-term list), check to ensure you possess the
desire to achieve each goal.
