Goal Setting and Problem Solving

Based on my book, Legacy: The Power Within, from the section called “Goal Setting” and its subsection “Seven Steps for Goal Setting, Problem Solving and Decision Making”
I don’t mind sharing the essence of the book here in this article, attaining goals and solving problems, in a nutshell so to speak. I know this is going to sound metaphysical, none the less, I hope it stirs the imagination.
Achieving a goal or solving a problem is possible for any of us, because of our strong desire or power of will, and that’s it. Though it is so much more complex than that, it is also that simple. Like bending your index finger for example; simple and at the same time a very complex system of events occur to make it happen. “Ask and ye shall receive.”
The seven steps formula, as it were, is an academic view of the same thing, attaining goals. They are formulated steps that help us to stay focused on our desire, that which we wish to attain or achieve, be it health, wealth, love, self-expression or solving a problem, thus we achieve.
It seems formulas are easier to except as feasible or reasonable. I suppose it is because they are sometimes more easily measurable, and so goal setting is recognized in academics as a science. Though in my opinion, since pre-biblical times, it always has been a science of the mind.
Setting worthwhile goals can be achieved. That’s why we call them worthwhile. This is also true about problem solving. When we believe it’s worth our time to spend our energy and focus, we achieve the desired end result. Energy and focus, driven by desire, are also a great part of the reason we achieve our goals.
I believe The Buddha tried to help people understand that its everyone’s right to avoid, reduce or eliminate suffering from their lives. Now there’s a worthwhile goal. Don’t you think?

Tony, congratulation again. I am truly happy for the exposure that you are receiving. Of course, you deserve all of it. I found your goal setting & problem solving theory easy to grasp. I plan to use some of your material for a class that I'm going to teach on goal setting for some juvenile detention kids. Thanks for the material and way to go on your book & reviews.

| Insightful and concise. Tony gets to the point very well. And yes, it did "stir my imagination". Perhaps the issue for many of us is simply deciding what we truly want to achieve, so that as Tony says, we can "ask and we shall receive". In the frenetic whirlwind of TV, movies, internet, it is all too possible to lose awareness of who you are and where you are going with your life. How do we truly want to grow? What do we truly want to achieve? Life is more than paying the bills and becoming comfortable. Let's ask for more than that. I look forward to Tony's thoughts on this topic. |

| Goal setting and Problem Solving like Tony sounds easy, but in the reality apply is not, because there are many factors thar affect the result. However, definitely is the key to archive any goal for any person. |

Very interesting. I like things not to be made
complicated, because most things aren't. It is an art
to put it into writing. You seem to do that well. |

| Goal setting and problem solving are the main ingredients for a successful entrepreneur or top executive. Imagine how good and efficient it can be if applied to everyday life. Tony has brought this subject in a book and made it easier to understand and folllow. In some people's everyday empty life, reading this book can help them set some goals on "how to fulfil your life". |

| It's nice to see complex things broken down into simple almost "a-ha, the lightbulb has gone off" type of wording. People all too often talk about goal SETTING, but not goal HITTING. If goal setters could simplify the process, make the visions real, and act upon them then their potential could be realized so much more fully. Thanks for always sharing your thoughts. |

| I agree goal setting is a science, and like all things in science it is not perfect. There is no perfect science but desire is the universal element to make all things work. I believe the "ganas" or desire is the driving force to getting as near to perfection as you csn. I think it is inevitable that with worthwhile goals comes stress because without it, you would not need the desire to solve. Stres is the test of desire, however not measurable. As always, well said my friend. Patricia Ferraro, Brass Ring Projects Inc. |
