Schritt fuer Schritt...

...dem Ziel entgegen.

Step by step, you achieve the goal* 

This phrase that can currently be seen on the Sparkasse adverts across the city of Bamberg, is inspiring at the least.

What are your goals?
What exactly are you interested in achieving? Long-term? Short-term?

As cliche as this post is slowly turning out to be, I cannot help but in platitudinal fashion articulate the importance of having stated goals. It leaves less room for uncertainty, and more room for follow-through. Please place a finger on the phrase 'stated goals'. Now poke at it a few times. You should by now see a funny bunny appearing across the screen...joking. But in all seriousness, that exercise was just meant to ensure that you as a reader actively understand to 'state' what your goals are.

Now that you understand this,
Write down those goals!


& it is perfectly OK if one of your stated goals are "to be wealthy". It was one of mine, and I had to come to terms with the fact that I too have aspirations of being rich in the future. It is not a selfish desire. It is a desire, as simple as that, and it is just as desirable as all of your other goals. What could arguably be wrong is if one makes the attainment of wealth their god (as all other goals are susceptible of being), or the way we go about trying to attain wealth ( as is with all other goals). With the past two examples, one can see that 'the attainment of wealth' can easily be placed on the same pedestal of importance as all other goals. No, you're not being selfish, nor are you being too superficial/simplistic. You are for once being real with yourself. It is also just as important to keep in mind, that  'wealth' should not semantically be substituted for 'money'. Wealth is all earnings including assets, material possessions, and the like.


With all that said, do not make the 'attainment of wealth' your only goal in life. If I must say, that is quite boring. As you would have so much material, less substance. Be sentimental for once, friend. Value memories, so that you would be more motivated to easily channel your wealth into something that outlives you.


What are your goals?

Write them down.

Don't look back.

Don't Regret.

Be flexible to change it at any given point.

Pray.

Go.


Schritt fuer Schritt, dem Ziel entgegen,  innit.
