EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN FRANK VANDERSLOOT
Your Goals Are Within Your Reach!
Maybe they fear that there is not a road leading where they would like to go and that dreaming of such a future would only lead them to disappointment. Or perhaps they lack the confidence to try to make the changes from within that would allow them to achieve their goals. Perhaps they fear that should they try and fail, their disappointment and anger with themselves for failing would be unbearable. So they go through life without goals, other than to get through this day or this week or this year, hoping that things will get better. And even if things do get better, they may still never experience the thrill of victory—of reaching their goals—because they never really had goals to begin with. Others seem to know where they are going. They have their goals written down. They have a plan. They know that although there are many things that happen around them that they cannot control, they can control how they react to those things. They change stumbling blocks into stepping stones. They are alive! They make life happen!
Having specific, well-defined goals is an essential component of any successful endeavor. Melaleuca’s mission of enhancing lives by helping people reach their goals has been the focus of our efforts for over 40 years. It has been enlightening to observe the process by which people approach the concept of setting goals for themselves and the process by which they endeavor to reach those goals.
Melaleuca establishes a way for anyone who has a goal of a better life to achieve that goal.”
It seems that—for most people—the concept of goal setting is somewhat nebulous. Many seem unable to grasp what they want from life or how to get it. It also appears that people often get into the rut of the humdrum or the “rat race” of day-to-day living without establishing a road map for their lives. It seems that some even avoid going through the thought process of evaluating where and who they are. They also fail to identify what they want to become or where they want to end up.
