Achieve your goals
Achieve your goals: Fulfill your dreams with help from classic self-help thinkers | Infinite Ideas
18 posts | 1 to read
If you have ever set yourself a goal and then watched helplessly as it slipped away this is the book for you. Whatever you want to do in life you need to take charge of your dreams, put a plan in place and follow it. Its a common problem and has been for hundreds of years. The first of the books weve sought advice from was published in the mid-eighteenth century, while the most recent one was published nearly two hundred years later. The ideas in both these and the other five books weve turned to are still amazingly relevant. The ideas in Achieve your goals are drawn from best-selling titles in the Infinite Success series. This series takes the most important ideas from self help classics and gives them a contemporary twist, and Achieve your goals contains striking nuggets of wisdom from: Napoleon Hills Think and grow rich; Samuel Smiles Self-Help; George S. Clasons The Richest Man in Babylon; Robert Colliers The Secret of the Ages; Ralph Waldo Emersons Self-reliance; Bertrand Russells The Conquest of Happiness and Benjamin Franklins The Way to Wealth. To make these ideas accessible weve illustrated the thoughts of the classic writers with examples drawn from twenty-first century life. In the Heres an idea for you section at the end of every chapter weve also given you some hints on how to put the ideas in that chapter into practice right now.

#BFCR4 Weekly Check in #bookfitnesschallenge @Hestapleton @IndoorDame @Hufflepuffle @wanderinglynn Had a relatively good week on my new diet but got semi bad news from the doctor on Friday which really affected my mental health - nothing too serious, just that I‘m on the road to becoming diabetic. Had a horrible day Friday but picked myself up Saturday and got back to it. Now I have clear motivation to stick to the plan.

IndoorDame That sounds really hard, I‘m sorry you have to deal with that. Way to go on handling it with such a positive attitude! ❤️🤗 4y
Hestapleton Ugh that sucks. I‘m glad you‘re staying focused on the finish line and not letting it get you down! 4y
wanderinglynn You‘re making great progress! 🙌🏻 Sorry you had some tough days. 💜 But great positivity! 4y
Hufflepuffle I‘m sorry you had some bad news. You still did so well though, you are amazing, never forget it! 💐 4y
LapReader I got the same news last year but have been able to conquer it with changing my diet. Hopefully you can too. I got upset about it as I considered myself pretty healthy. Best of luck. 4y

Can‘t believe it is the end of week 4 already!

Considering it was another busy week I am really happy with what I achieved! I would have got another run and yoga session in but my cat decided to inhale grass and had to go in for a procedure yesterday so plans went awry! But I feel like I am slowly improving again, just need to stop stress eating and ruining my diet goal!!!

Hestapleton You did really well this week!!!! I hope kitty is feeling better! 5y
wanderinglynn Way to go! 🙌🏻 You had a great week. But I‘m sorry about your kitty—I hope she‘s feeling better. 💚🐱 5y
sudi You did great 👏👏👏. Hope your cat's okay 💛 5y
Hufflepuffle @Hestapleton @wanderinglynn @sudi Thank you all! He‘s back to his usual happy and demanding self! He‘s moaning at me as I type as he decided a second ago it was dinner time and I‘m not getting it fast enough! 5y

July goals! And how is it we've already arrived at July? July goals include four more books for #14Books14Weeks, two books to review, seven hard copies and four on my Kindle (one is not shown on the frame to list). Usually one or two extra sneak in there so we'll see how I do! It's good to have goals 😁📚📚📚📖

janeycanuck I‘m so behind on my #14books14weeks! Fingers crossed I can make some good progress this month. 5y
TheHeartlandBookFairy @janeycanuck Don't worry, there's plenty of summer left yet! I usually read 10 to 12 books a month for different book groups and challenges as well as commitments to review. Sometimes reading the book to get the review written is more important than crossing something off my "wishlist" but I figure by labor day I will hopefully have gotten through all 14! Fingers crossed for you and for me too ??? 5y

Week one check in of #BookFitnessChallenge

I met my step goal 3 out of 7 days
Pilates 2 x & no bike ride
Met my goal of 1 book

I may need to revise my goals to something more achievable. Maybe I aimed too high 🤔

Im kinda out of shape & need smaller gradual changes

So not sure if ok but I think I'll revise to 6000 step, 10 min pilates 3 x a week & bike ride (weather permit as it's middle of winter here at the mo)

#BFCr2 #BFC @wanderinglynn

Megabooks Sounds good and healthy! 5y
wanderinglynn A great first week! 🙌 And definitely adapt your goals as you need. We will ALL cross the finish line together. Sometimes it just takes a week to figure out what really works for us. And when life happens, that's another reason to adapt your goal. 5y

These are all on my TBR pile for June. I have several in progress so at least a few will get read. Wish me luck. I am terrible at keeping these “I‘m going to read these books this month. “ things. I am totally at my library‘s hold list mercy.

ShananigansReads I know that feeling. I never even make formal list, just say I‘ll read XYZ next then 4 library holds will come in. 5y
Leftcoastzen Nice selections! 5y
kim.guernsey it's the same for me and my library holds lol 5y
pdever The Fisherman is in my TBR pile as well, but I don't think I will get to it in June or July... So many books so little time... ☹️ 5y

Happy June and happy summer reading! My June reading goals include 4 of my #14Books#14Weeks, one new release not shown that comes out the third week of June, and three books on the Kindle (two of those for review). There's also a couple of library books that came in from holds that are not shown as well as a couple of audio books 😂 Goals are good 😁 Happy reading Littens 📖📚

@Wbabdullah thanks for that.

DivaDiane Need SF recommendations? What tropes are you interested in? Space Opera, Mars, near future, dystopias? Robots/Androids? Hard or soft SF? 😂 6y
Sarah83 @DivaDiane I already got some sci-fi books, I just have to decide, where to start. 😂 6y

Well, that's one challenge completed earlier than expected...

vivastory Well done! I'm hoping to hit my goal of 200 by end of August 7y
KVanRead Wow! That's incredible. You're inspiring me to get caught up on mine. Currently 5 books behind and I'm only trying to get to 70.😭 7y

batsy That's amazing! It really is, I'm patting myself on the back for almost reaching my target of 50 😂 I'm super curious like the others too, I would love to learn your ways! 7y
LeahBergen Whoa!!! 😮😮 7y
Suet624 That's amazing! 7y
Moray_Reads @britt_brooke @batsy @AlaMich Honestly, I'm not sure except I spend a lot of time reading. Not having children or a spouse probably helps too! 7y
Moray_Reads @vivastory I noticed you were closer to 200 too. This is definitely going to be my most prolific reading year! 7y
vivastory @Moray_Reads Not having children & a spouse definitely helps. A lot. I read way more than when I was married. 7y
britt_brooke @Moray_Reads I'm very impressed! Well done!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 7y
diovival Wow! Way to go! 7y
batsy @Moray_Reads I don't have kids or a spouse so I'm not sure what's my excuse. 😂 But honestly, I get sucked into spending a lot of time on social media, which is very sad. 7y
