Opposition will sometimes feel like this.

All successful people know without a doubt that GOAL SETTING is crucial for a fulfilling life. “The ability to set and achieve goals is the greatest skill you can develop” said Brian Tracy.

But what most beginning goal-setters don’t realize is that when you set a goal and commit to it…the opposition will raise hell.

And it’s not just that you’ll face opposition. Oh yes, you will face tremendous opposition. But more than facing it, the opposition will rear its ugly head to destroy you.

It plays no favorites. It doesn’t care if you’re black, white, brown or yellow.

It doesn’t care if you were born in the ghetto, the islands or in the richest hospitals.

OPPOSITION DOESN’T CARE if you’ve set your goal, committed to it, created a plan of action and it certainly doesn’t care if you have a Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy or Spiritual Minister in your corner. Opposition could care less if God ordained you to do a great work.

It just doesn’t care. It has a job to do and like a Jack Bauer who is relentless in doing his job for good, Opposition is relentless in stopping you from becoming your greatest self.

What you must understand about going after the life you want is this…

When you set a goal and commit to it…be prepared for hell. It’s one of the unwritten rules about creating the life you truly want and love.

Opposition will lull you to sleep and make the smallest advances against you as if it didn’t exist. It will carefully guide you down paths at times and then poison you in degrees when you’re unaware…and even when you are aware.

It will also put it’s shot gun in your face. One moment a water-gun and then the next a shot gun, 9 Millimeter or Smith and Wesson. Opposition will reason with you like the world’s greatest lawyer and then stab you in the back once you’ve relaxed for a mere second. Opposition is the greatest lawyer. It knows no rules. It will lie, cheat, steal and cry it’s way to your destruction. [...]

Why Goals Are Crucial For Real Happiness and Success

Lavell Edwards Stadium ... as I remember seeing it as an 8th Grader. What are your goals, dreams, passions and visions?

The year is 1989. I’m riding my bike from football practice. I’m a skinny 8th grader. I’m riding my bike past Lavell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Ut.

It is an ESPN Thursday night game for BYU. I don’t remember who they played but I remember riding past the big buses on Canyon Road that sits parallel to the stadium and these huge mammoths were stepping off the buses. These guys were big, lean, muscular and scary looking.

Here I was a little tiny 6 foot 1 inch 150 lbs football kid watching these “All-Stars” prepare to play my beloved Cougars of BYU. I dreamed that one day I would be playing for BYU. It was my desire. It was my dream. It was a GOAL.

I wasn’t very good at football. I wasn’t fast. I wasn’t strong. I was just athletic … kind of.

I was a late bloomer. I put on 30 lbs of muscle between my sophomore year and junior year of high school.

I never missed working out. I couldn’t bench very much either. So I had to work hard to keep up.

I ate like a horse (and still couldn’t gain much weight).

I was so focused on getting a scholarship. It was my goal.

I have a small red journal that has my goals from my early high school days. In the beginning of the journal it says “Get a scholarship to BYU for football.” [...]
