Goal Setter Blog

Some road disasters are not reported as suicide in the media. This is done on purpose to prevent some unstable person from attempting to copy such a horrible deed.

The chances of surviving a head-on crash have improved with seatbelts and airbags. You might indeed survive as a quadriplegic. Probably not the intended outcome.

Since a suicidal mindset is a deep anger directed at oneself and society some may want to end their life with a bang - literally, by driving on purpose into the oncoming traffic... spare the thought you might be at the receiving end of such despair.

What has that got to do with goal setting? A lot. Setting goals drives you to identify your reason to live. That in itself could prevent suicide.

Isolation and despair are lurking around to devour alive those who are disconnected from society through divorce, chronic unemployment or other turmoil.

The duty of watching over your mate is the essential fabric of society. Just one phone call can put a smile on somebody's face. Little did you know how critical it was to respond to the prompting of making that one call...

Being a good listener is a release for those who are all bottled up inside. They need an output. They need someone to talk it over with. Someone who is neither judgemental nor condescending. Someone to offload their pain.

Why not go the next step. Indeed life isn't a walk in the park - but we are all in the same boat. If I'm down, you're up. In some funny twist of circumstances we might be swapping places one day. Wouldn't it be good if you had developed the skills to help someone else while you had the chance?

You never know what's around the corner. You've heard the expression: "Count your blessings." Indeed you do not appreciate how fortunate you are until the things you took for granted are taken away from you. Those who find themselves in a hole will tell you that they didn't see it coming. Even if they did there was probably little they could have done about it.

Again what has that got to do with goal setting? The fact that whatever may come, hail, rain or shine you have your mind set on your life goal and you have set your face like flint and will not be put to shame.

You choose to see adversity as an opportunity to become stronger not as the pressure to give up.
