The Secret to Setting GoalsHere's the deal... If we don't set goals to Send Forth Righteous Thoughts (SFRT) at designated times -- If we don't set goals to do the 5 exercises and read Master Li's works everyday -- The point is this: setting goals is also essential when it comes to clarifying the truth in China! As merciful as the Fa is, it is also very serious. Since it's serious, we should take it seriously. This seriousness should express itself in meeting the requirements of a Fa Rectification disciple. One of those requirements, as you all know, is to clarify the truth of this persecution. If you recognize the importance of this requirement… isn't it encumbering upon you to set goals to meet this requirement? Intentionally defining your goals, in writing, will actually solidify these goals in your mind. When your intentions are supported by righteous thoughts and righteous actions, you become unstoppable! If you write down on a piece of paper: "I am making one phone call or sending one fax or email to China, per day, for 30 days in a row, no matter what!"… and you actually read this piece of paper every day… the likelihood of you reaching your goal will increase dramatically. If you made only one phone call or sent only one fax or email to China, per day, for 12 months in a row, you would have effectively clarified the truth to 365 people. If only 50% of those 365 people each told two friends what you told them, and those two friends only told two other friends, who told two other friends, who told two other friends; you would have effectively gotten your message to approximately 3200 people! But wait a minute... I didn't include the likelihood that each of these 3200 people might have shared your phone/fax/email message with, say, three of their own family members too. That would mean that close to 10000 people would have been touched by your actions. But it doesn't stop there! Don't those 10000 people also have friends and extended families too? As you can see, the effects of your efforts are incalculable! Think about this: What if "clarifying the truth in China" groups started forming all around the world? That is, groups of practitioners got together and decided to make "X" amount of phone calls and send "X" amount of faxes or emails to China; per day, week, and month? Wouldn't that be awesome - and totally doable?! It's our sincere wish that assistant center heads throughout the world will take the initiative to motivate those in their immediate group to make phone calls and send faxes and/or emails to China on an ongoing basis… forming something like a worldwide CTTIC Network. Each week, practitioners from their respective local areas would get together at a designated time, and share their weekly phone/fax/email experiences with everyone else in the group. This sharing could take place via email, chatroom, or even after the weekly exercise classes. Actually, these "clarifying the truth in China" experiences, are really cultivation experiences, as our cultivation is intimately connected to our clarifying the truth and validating the Fa. Whatever you do, don't underestimate the power of writing down goals and declaring them to yourself and others. Once your goals are in writing, they cease being "future musings" anymore. They become part of you and a part of what you do everyday. That is, you do whatever you need to do in your life and you also fulfill the agreement you made to yourself and to others in your group: to make "X" amount of phone calls and send "X" amount of faxes or emails to China, per day, week, and month. Below you will find a blueprint for 'goal setting success', which, if applied, will produce concrete results beyond your expectations.
