As the author points out all living things have goals or things they need to achieve. Even something as simple as a seed planted in the ground has a purpose. From the moment it is watered it is hell bent and determined to sprout and to reach the life sustaining sun. As it grows it encounters obstacles such as rocks and hard soil yet it does not let these obstacles deter it. Without a consciousness the seed knows that it has to reach the sun. It is literally a life or death situation for it. It keeps growing until it either hits the warm light or dies.What separates human beings from the rest of nature is that we have been blessed with imagination that allows us to choose our goals. We can choose our life fulfilling and nurturing sun. The problem is that most people never take the time to do it. The result is a barren, unfulfilled life in which you know you have never reached your true potential. Unlike the seed that grows into a mighty tree most people stay stuck in the mud.If you wish to avoid this fate Darrin Wiggins book is a great place to start. He watched first hand as Chip Wilson turned his seed of a dream, Lululemon Athletica, into a billion dollar enterprise. This book is filled with practical action steps that will allow you to achieve your own dreams. What I also like is that he talks about goal setting in the context of marriage and family as well. If you and your partner share the same goals what a wonderful thing to share! And what a gift it is to give to your children that they can achieve their dreams. Is there any greater gift a parent can give their children than wings? I highly recommend this book.
