Hey guys, I know it’s been a while since I’ve written a blog and of course there’s many reasons for this. For starters, I am not the type of person who likes to write blogs just for the hell of it. I like to write blogs because I have something to actually say.
And not to mention I’ve been having so much fun posting on Facebook because the messages are
short and to the point and the feedback has been tremendous (if you’re reading this and are one of my facebook fans, I love you, real talk 
Goals = ________
But today what I want to talk about is the whole idea of goals! A lot of times we are told to go ahead and write down what our goals are and I’ve been one of those people that write goals on a regular. It’s not until recently that I realized that writing goals was cool, but something was still missing.
You see I have the following goals I wanted to accomplish:
- Buying my parents a house
- Getting a BMW M5
- Getting a sweet pad down in Florida (fort lauderdale rise up
- Being Married (taking application
What I began to realize is that these goals were cool but it was not enough.
I did it all …
- Affirmations…
- Vision Board…
- Wallpapers for motivation…
It’s not until I went to San Diego a few weeks ago and heard famous Millionaire Jordan Belfort that I realized what the missing link was. He talked about how people support those with visions not goals.
When he said that I automatically said, “damn!”. I’ve been doing this wrong this whole time. But even then I still didn’t get it 100% fully.
Then my favorite football player Ray Lewis got a street named after him in Baltimore and he talked about having a vision and creating a name for yourself, creating a legacy that people will remember you by.
This takes me back to a conversation I had with my buddy Rob Williams that literally brought me to tears and actually left me gasping for air.
You see when you have a vision where you’re trying to leave a legacy so that when someone mentions your name and INSTANTLY certain thoughts come to mind- This is where a TRUE impact is made. Having the goals I had above, they all great but what will people say about me when I’m gone.
That Geo drove a nice car… That’s not why I work over 60 hours a week for. Nah… I work because I want people to say Geo lived life the right way.
Geo loved people and shared that love with every single person he could touch. Geo made me feel like I could do anything as long as I put my mind to do it. Geo believed in me during times where I didn’t believe in myself.
THATS WHY I GO SO HARD.
That’s why I am online at 3:30 am writing on someone’s facebook wall or looking up quotes to write for the next morning. If I can be remembered for anything, please let it be because I help someone live a better life. That’s my vision and if I can fulfill it, my goals in life will follow suit.
Wow Geo! U hit this one on the head. I have personally felt that my goals didn’t have the proper fuel behind them and tying in your true purpose and legacy into your goals sounds like a “simple tip” which I am sure millions of people overlook
