To tag an objective with a thought, phrase, and statement, or even an affirmation, a picture, and a mantra, and then to tag it with a specific feeling will give you a richer, more expressive and very meaningful way to approach a goal. It undoubtedly casts the objective in a more significant light in your mind’s storage and retrieval system. How you view your goals and that of your organization, and communicate them, is also a personal choice. You can see them as dark, looming, and unreachable, or as completely within your reach and achievable within a specific time frame.

If you make a goal your own and really, truly want it, and then apply appropriate techniques to realize it, the goal will constantly be on your mind. This is similar to applying additional keywords and categories in a cataloging system. For example, a book tagged with an author, date, title, and numerous descriptive words is more likely to be retrieved than if it is catalogued only by the year of publication.

Your thoughts trigger an emotional state that gives rise to feelings. Elevation of these enable more optimal outcomes. With an orientation to outcomes you choose a more directed approach to your thinking. This thinking is also more aligned, purposeful and strategic. Simple thoughts and observations become more directive to the specific outcomes that you seek. Think it, see it, feel it, and experience it.
