Ever Wondered Why Your Big Goal Keeps Eluding You?

 

The best way to attain your big goal is to write down your big goal and devise a rock-solid plan.

 

Monitor your goal at all times. If you don't give it constant attention, it is destined to disappear forever.  Embrace your goal. Commit to giving some tender-loving-care to your ambitions each and every day.  Stay on top of your goal by documenting what's working; and what's not.
 
 
You Can Do It! -- Here's How:
 
Step 1: Write down your big goal and feel good about it.
Step 2: Make a clear and concise plan with a deadline.

Step 3: Commit to your plan and follow through.   

 
  Keep Moving
 
Last month, I received a phone call from one of my good friends.  As I listened, I could tell that, just about everything that could go wrong in her life, was going wrong in her life.  And, at the most inopportune time. 
 
So I thought.
 
Then she told me, "Fran, I just thought I let you know that in spite of all of this, life goes on and I'm gonna keep moving.  I have so much to be grateful for.  A lot of women would love to be in my shoes.  This is what I'm going to do ..." 
 
The truth is, each of us can change our circumstances -- and our world -- by renewing our minds.  All of us can be dynamically delivered from despair, despondency, and disillusion if we are diligent and decide -- to keep moving. 
 
Keep moving in spite of:
 
  • Low pay 
  • No pay 
  • Low-energy
  • No energy
  • Lies
  • Unexpected "Good-byes" 
  • Heavy loads
  • 1,000 "noes" 
  • Chaos (or) 
  • Layoffs 
The law of inertia says that an object (or human being) at rest, has a propensity to remain at rest.  Conversely, an object or human being in motion, has a propensity to stay in motion!  So, get moving.  And keep moving.  
 
Don't allow an undesirable circumstance -- or two, or some less-than-welcomed news, to drive you to the "stagnation blues."   
 
Keep moving. 

Don't "brake" or hesitate, on what you and God, can create.
 
 
 
Tony Brooks
 
This collection of stories that author Tony Brooks has assembled is unprecedented.  Apparent, is his ability to masterfully evoke the thought processes and emotions of his readers. In truth, there is much more to "Diaries of Black Men" than one could ever imagine. This soon-to-be-bestseller has received raving reviews from readers of both genders, and all backgrounds. Tony Brooks discusses his childhood, his love for writing, his vision for an international alliance with positive people, and of course, his latest release, "Diaries of Black Men."
 
 
 
New and Improved!
 
Thanks to http://www.atozdesigns.com/ , The Fran Briggs Companies have a New and Improved site.  If you haven't seen it yet, get over there and then come right back.  Featured are my "just last week" pics! 
 
 
To Your Health
 
New Research Proves Water Increases Fat-Burning by 30%
 
Rarely will you find a fat-loss program that does not advocate drinking lots and lots of water. Up to now, few studies have proven whether or not water consumption increases metabolism. However, now there is clear evidence that conclusively shows that it does.

Recently, researchers in Germany used indirect calorimetrics (a precise way to measure the expenditure of energy) to assess the effect of drinking water on fat metabolism. When the subjects of the study drank 16 ounces of water in one sitting, their metabolic rate increased by an incredible 30%!

This is an extremely simple way to accelerate your natural ability to burn fat. Drink 8-16 ounces of purified water when you wake up each morning, and then 8 - 16 ounces just before every meal.

Unfinished Work of Heart

What vision did you once want so badly to connect with, but for whatever reason, you grew apart?  See to the end, what you saw from the start.  Complete your unfinished work of heart.
 
 
Something to Do About 
 
Boldly step out in faith and illuminate even the darkest path.  Seeing the unseen will inevitably, lead you to your destiny.
