    |  | "I don't have time." 
 We say that so often. I'm as guilty as the next guy. Yet, we
    make time for things that are really a waste of time. It used
    to be television. Now it's the Internet. How much time do we
    spend doing things that really are pointless? It's "no big
    deal" we tell ourselves; the price we pay for all of this
    time wasting can be enormous.

    | Interest List |  | I ask people all of the time what is the
    one thing they really want in their lives. "If you can have
    anything," I say, "what would it be." Peoples'
    dreams for themselves and for their families are sometimes awesome. |  |

    |  | Then I ask the same people what are they
    doing to reach their dreams and often all I receive in return
    is a blank stare. It's way too easy to fall into a routine. We
    get up at the same time each morning. Work at the same job we've
    been at for years. Take the same vacation year after year. All
    the while complaining that we're dissatisfied with our lives. 
 Sometimes it's important to stop and evaluate where you are and
    compare that with where you want to be. Creating a "road
    map for life" is - quite possibly - the most important thing
    you can do. It's something that can be done in place of some
    of those other things that often just waste your time. The number
    one mistake we make about a "life plan" is we set goals
    that are too lofty without a clear vision of what it takes to
    accomplish our goal. Then things don't go exactly as planned,
    we get discouraged and give up. Our self-esteem always suffers
    because we tell ourselves that we are "unworthy" of
    whatever goal we have set out to accomplish. For most of us the
    only thing we're really guilty of is not knowing how to set up
    goals that can be obtained.
 
 Empower! the personal development and motivational seminar designed
    for teens deals with this very issue. We work in detail about
    how to set obtainable goals. Many times a goal in life requires
    several "checkpoint" goals along the way. A teenager
    may aspire to be a doctor and set that as a goal. It's unreasonable
    to expect that a teenager can reach that goal in a short amount
    of time and with little effort. But a teenager can begin the
    process and decide a "win" is getting good grades this
    semester. Reaching that goal (good grades) will lead to the next
    goal, say enrolling in the proper classes for the next semester.
 
 We know that teenagers aren't the only people who can benefit
    from this. Adults can use this as well. I am seriously thinking
    about holding similar seminars for adults. If you are interested,
    let me know. Your comments are always welcome. My email address
