You defined your goal.

You declared your “definitiveness of purpose.”

What’s next?

By setting your goal, you bring two great laws into operation: the Laws of . . .

. . . Attraction and . . .

. . . Love.

These are powerful and strong. Yet . . .

. . . things won’t just drop from the sky . . .

. . . they won’t materialize in your lap . . .

. . . they won’t mystically appear

Rather, you will . . .

. . . encounter the people that will help you . . .

. . . find yourself in the circumstances you require to attain your goal . . .

. . . and see opportunities that will propel you toward your goal.

So, what is it — exactly — that you need to do after you’ve set your goal?

Charles F. Haanel wrote in Point #25 of Week Twelve of The Master Key System that . . .

It is by concentration that deep thoughts, wise speech, and all forces of high potentiality are accomplished.

When you have your one goal . . .

. . . you focus on it.

You use the power of concentration — the power of focus.

You set your mind to focus on — to concentrate on — the object of your desire . . .

. . . solely . . .

. . . to the exclusion of all else . . .

. . . without distraction . . .

. . . monomaniacally.

Business people are familiar with this because they make strategic plans. They will write a mission statement, a focused declaration of what the chief aim of the business is, which will guide all the decisions made about the business.

It’s a powerful tool in a business . . .

. . . and it can also be a powerful tool in your life.

Write for yourself a mission statement.

Declare what is important to you.

Allow it to guide the decisions that you make.

If you decide that you will be slim and fit, then you will make the decision to exercise regularly rather than laze about your house.

If your goal is to make money, you will decide to spend your money wisely as you make good decisions to grow your income.

Always will your decisions be based on what it is you declared for yourself.

Your mission statement may change over time. You will learn new things about yourself. You will discover that you what you thought you wanted isn’t “all that.” You will mature. You will see the world in new and different ways as you learn and gain experience.

That’s okay — so long as you’re not changing things out of laziness or surrender.

Don’t stop.

Don’t give up.

Make your plan and stick to it.

Do it.

You’ll be glad that you did.
