Reasons Why

I have been successful at setting and achieving goals in other areas of my life. In November 2005 I set a goal to compete in a natural bodybuilding competition. The reason I wanted to do it was to see if I could be disciplined enough to endure the training and nutrition and finally get up on stage. Well, I was and I did and I loved it! What I liked the most was the journey. I didn't compete once. I competed in six natural bodybuilding competition during the last two years. That's how much I enjoyed it. And I do plan to compete again.



Anyway, I asked myself why it is that I can be successful at focusing on my fitness and nutrition to prepare for a bodybuilding competition and not so successful at debt reduction. Well, Jim Rohn says that you have to have enought reasons why. I think...no, I know I now have enough reasons why I want to free myself from these debt shackles. Here they are.


1. I want to have the means to take care of myself.
2. I want the freedom to do the fun things that I want to do.
3. I want to give generously to my favorite charities.
4. I want to continue my education.
5. I want to change careers.
6. I want be rid of this weighed-down, burdensome feeling that comes from dragging around these very, very heavy debt shackles day after day.
