I am not a big believer in TV in the bedroom, but because my living room is so often filled with teenagers, I now have a small one that sits on a dresser in the corner of my room.
Tonight, the teenagers invading my home were particularly loud with their video games and late-night Saturday TV, so I decided to turn on PBS on channel 9 to drown out their noise.
If blocking noise is ever possible with teenagers. Wow. Don’t I sound just like my mother?
As I turned on PBS, I caught the beginning of the program Best of PBS featuring Jack Canfield. Jack Canfield is a best-selling author, motivational speaker, corporate trainer, and entrepreneur. He is the co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. I hadn’t seen this particular PBS show.
I sat back in my chair to watch with some interest. The teenage sounds faded into the background, as I began to laugh aloud when Jack Canfield’s talk turned to goal setting, which is something 8WomenDream just got through discussing amongst ourselves.
I wasn’t exactly popular when I suggested that we needed more big dream goal setting for the 8WD offline support group.
I highly recommend this PBS program for those of you having trouble with your dream goals. Canfield offers sound advice on how to get from here (where you are) to there (a better place).
The Law of Attraction has come under fire ever since the James Ray and The Secret catastrophe with the sweat lodge and deaths in Arizona, so just mentioning the phrase can bring on a lot of controversy, but I have always liked what Jack Canfield has to say.
Don’t shoot me.
Here’s a video portion of the show I watched Saturday night on PBS where Canfield talks about goal setting –
By the way, I have created 150-lifetime goals written down in my paper journal that I carry with me wherever I go. Maybe someday I will share them with you.
