There’s great power in writing something down on a piece of paper. Setting something in ink also sets it in your mind! Keep your goals listed where you can see them every day. Some suggestions are a white board, your phone screen background, on a piece of paper on your nightstand, on your mirror in your bathroom—Anywhere you’re bound to look at them.
