Decide What You Want to Be, Do, and Have in Life

Danny Pettry is a Certified Success Principles Trainer through Jack Canfield’s organization.

Inspirational Quote

First, we have to define success and here is the best definition I’ve ever been able to find: “Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.” A success is the school teacher who is teaching because that’s what he or she wants to do. Earl Nightingale

Nightingale’s definition of Success is goal oriented.

First a person determines what they want to have, do, or be.

Second, the person takes action and reaches their ideal goal.

You’re a success already. You decided you wanted to become a Recreational Therapist or to earn the Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) credential. You set out to earn that and you’re living your goal.

However, you can continue to set goals (in other areas besides career ambitions) and take action towards achieving them.

Week # 3 Video Training:

1. Financial Goals
2. Personal Growth
3. Relationship Goals
4. Making a Difference
