Size Does Matter

Success is intentional, through your conscious use of choice and decision.
The teaching/coaching world is full of opportunities, but you will only get there by boldness and conviction, by being decisive for the goals you want.

Teachers/coaches are born with great capabilities, but most will not achieve their potential until they call upon themselves to fulfil it. You must rise to the occasion when it presents itself; you must provide occasions to rise to.
Clearly defined goals in your teaching/coaching career path allow you to travel toward another horizon that represents the end of one experience and the transition to a new and better existence. The objective is to choose the right goals.

The difference between what one coach/teacher and another achieves depends more on goal choices than on abilities. The profound differences between successful coach/teachers and others are the goals they choose to pursue. Individuals with smaller talents, intelligence, and abilities will achieve different results because they select and pursue different goals.

Each decision affects what you become. Never overlook the obvious: The nature and direction of your life change the instant you decide what goals you want to pursue.

Once you make a decision, you start down a path to a new destination. At the moment the decision is made, your decision to pursue a goal alters what you are becoming. Just one step - a single choice - can alter your life, your destiny, your legacy.

Think about it - your goal decisions represent and express your individuality. You seal your fate with the choices you make. You define yourself by your decisions. Decisions and goals made must be your own if you are to call your life a success.

Everyone has an official wish list of things they think are "reasonable". What about the unofficial wish list? The one that common sense tells you to ignore? The list that exists deep in your mind, the list that keeps you up at night, that makes your toes wiggle when you think of it? Why not choose that list for a change?

How long have you dreamed of being, having, and doing what you really want? Think big, as when it comes to your goals, the size of your ambition does matter.
