Last year, I started to do my daily goals setting. I continued for 3 months and amazingly, I had 2 of my goals completed within that 2 month. Unfortunately, due to my own personal laziness, I discontinued. This year, I decided to do it again and this time, I blog it and I have been setting my daily goals for past 1 month over my blog.

As each day passes, my daily goals are more or less identified. I started with eleven of them, and by end of first week, it streamed down to ten and now, the priority, sequent, words used, sentences are more or less consistent.

What my problem now is the choice of word "by" or "from" or "on", as I'm writing, "I will have XXXX [by|from|on] dd/mm/yyyy." will have different meaning and intentions So, I need to be clear on what I really want.

If I am working towards one of my goal now, then, "by" dd/mm/yyyy, I MUST have it or achieve it, however, it could be earlier! (eg, I drive a Merz by 14/11/2006)

Now, if I am working on something now, or I may not be working on this particular goal, but "from" dd/mm/yyyy, I MUST have it and continue having it and continuously achieving it. (eg, I exercise once a week from 14/11/2006);

And if I am working towards my goal, "on" dd/mm/yyyy, it's THE D-DAY, deadline which I MUST achieve it! (eg, I buy a blue convertible Beatle on 14/11/2006)

OK, now I am clear, at least after writing it down, it' is clearer my mind. It is important to have a CLEAR goal so that my mind can start to send out the signal and the Universal will react and send back the acknowledgement. Imaging, in McDonalds, if the front-desk is not clear on the order (eg, hur . . . I think I like to have that burger with 2 piece of meat within, but not beef . . .) how on earth will the kitchen prepare the right food for the front desk? My goal has to be clear like the front desk and once it is clear and sent out, Universal (kitchen) will start to prepare and send back to us!

Thus, be clear! That is why it's important for me to know the different of using the right words such as [by|from|on] to set my date!

I will cover more on goal setting in another posting! This post is mainly for me to clarify on the right words to use!
