  • Senator Ted Cruz introduced a constitutional amendment that would allow only two terms for Senators and three for members of the House of Representatives.
  • It would limit Cruz’s term in the Senate to his current one, which ends in 2025.
  • Congressional terms are currently unlimited, though there are limits on individual committees.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz introduced a constitutional amendment Friday that would restrict Senators to two six-year terms. If it’s passed, it would limit Cruz’s Senate career to its current term.

The amendment would also limit members of the House of Representatives to three two-year terms. It’s co-sponsored by Republican Senators Marco Rubio, Mike Lee, and David Purdue.

Trump lawyer turned federal informant Michael Cohen may be going to jail for a long time, if prosecutors have their way.

Prosecutors have requested that Michael Cohen receive a “substantial term of imprisonment” for tax evasion and paying hush money to a porn star on Trump’s behalf. Cohen, who pled guilty to the charges in August, has been cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller’s “Russiagate” probe for several months.

In a separate sentencing memo, Mueller sought no additional jail time for charges that Cohen lied to Congress regarding the proposed construction of a Trump Organization skyscraper in Moscow, instead recommending any sentence be served concurrently with that imposed in the New York case. Cohen pled guilty to those charges last week.

While the prosecution acknowledges Cohen’s willingness to assist the Mueller investigation as a mitigating factor, they point out that he did not actually sign a cooperation agreement with the special counsel and thus cannot be considered a “cooperating witness” under the law. The defense’s own sentencing memo, submitted last month, requested no jail sentence for conduct that typically warrants 51 to 63 months’ imprisonment under US sentencing guidelines.

The NY prosecutor’s sentencing memo pulls no punches, describing Cohen’s behavior as a “pattern of deception that permeated his personal life (and was evidently hidden from friends and family members who wrote on his behalf).” Cohen, prosecutors say, made millions of dollars running a consulting firm purporting to offer a direct line to President Trump, but “his promises of insight and access proved essentially hollow.”

The Mueller memo praises Cohen’s cooperation over seven “lengthy” interviews, as well as his efforts to “accept responsibility for his actions,” but stops short of recommending leniency, stating that “the sentence imposed should reflect the fact that lying to federal investigators has real consequences.”

The FBI raided Cohen’s office in April, seizing boxes of evidence including secret recordings of his conversations with Trump regarding a payoff to a former Playboy model. In July, he announced he planned to cooperate with the investigation of his former boss, and he has since distanced himself from the administration, even going so far as to change his political registration to Democrat

President Trump has called for a “full and complete” sentence for his former confidant, claiming the lawyer is lying to Mueller’s office in order to keep himself and his family out of prison. Cohen, who said just last year that he would “take a bullet for the president,” was quick to turn on his boss under pressure, claiming that Trump encouraged him to pay $ 130,000 hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels, violating campaign finance law.

The decision comes after a debacle for her party in the local elections in the federal state of Hesse.

On Sunday, Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU) received 28 percent of the votes. Although that was more support than other competitors received, it was a significant drop from the 38.3 percent won by the party in the state’s last election in 2013.

“Firstly, at the next CDU party congress in December in Hamburg, I will not put myself forward again as candidate for the CDU chair,” Merkel told reporters.

Secondly, this fourth term is my last as German chancellor. At the federal election in 2021, I will not stand again as chancellor candidate, nor as a candidate for the Bundestag, and…I won’t seek any further political offices.

As the CDU experiences losses in support, the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is seeing a rise in popularity. It received 12 percent of the votes in Hesse on Sunday, and now holds parliamentary seats in every single German state.

Speaking to RT following the Hesse elections, independent political observer Steven Meissner told RT that Merkel “is getting weaker and weaker and more unpopular.”

Merkel’s popularity has indeed been slipping for a long time, with her handling of the 2015 migrant crisis being a major contributing factor. A July poll found that only one in five Germans were happy with her performance as leader.

While making her announcement, Merkel declined to back any of the several CDU members who are seeking to replace her as party chair.

Merkel, 64, chaired the CDU party since 2000 and has served as Germany’s chancellor since 2005.

  • Kim told South Korean officials that his faith in Trump remains “unchanged.”
  • Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in will meet in the North Korean capital on September 18.

SEOUL (Reuters) – North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he wants to denuclearize the Korean peninsula during US President Donald Trump’s first term, as he agreed to hold a third summit with his South Korean counterpart this month in Pyongyang, Seoul officials said on Thursday.

Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in will meet in the North Korean capital on Sept. 18-20, during which they will discuss “practical measures” toward denuclearization, the South’s national security adviser, Chung Eui-yong, told reporters a day after meeting Kim in Pyongyang.

People who built their careers on the back of hard work, passion and focus.But the most successful of these people had something else. Hard work, passion and focus were there but to get to the very top you need more than just these things.In this article, I will give you seven other traits so you can use to form your own career goals that will help you to build a successful career.

1. Know what you want.

This one might seem obvious, but many people never take the time to think carefully about what they want to do in their career. They accept jobs in industries or departments they have no interest in and soon find themselves settled into a career of misery and complaining.It always amazes me how people spend more time planning their annual summer holiday than they do their career.If you want to build success in your work, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to do and where you want to go. You need that North Star to guide you in your decisions and to keep you focused on where you are going.Without that clarity, you will drift from one roll to another never building any momentum towards your ultimate career goal.

2. Ask yourself: What skills are you lacking?

When we begin our working lives, we have the academic skills but lack many practical skills.When you know what you want to do with your career, you can identify the skills you will need. Soft skills such as relationship building, the ability to collaborate with others and your productivity all form part of these skills and you need to make sure you are developing them.Invest in yourself and for those skills that do not develop naturally, find the courses online or the books and study. Once you have studied these skills, make sure you put them into practice. This one tip will put you ahead of 98% of your colleagues who treat their work as just a job that pays them money to live.

3. Know that success leaves a path.

I teach this one to all of my clients. In every industry, there are examples of people who started at the bottom and worked their way up to become industry leaders. Examples like Satya Nadella at Microsoft and Jony Ive at Apple. These people were not founders or entrepreneurs, they worked their way up to the top from the bottom. In doing so, they left clues.Whatever company you are in there will be people who began at the bottom and worked their way up to become leaders. How did they do that? What books did they read? What courses did they take?I remember when I worked in the hotel industry. One of my mentors began as a receptionist. Louise rose to become the General Manager of my home city’s top hotel. She did this through having a clear goal, diligence and always putting the guest first. She was tough but fair.I learnt from Louise that every time you come into work, the guest was always the top priority and to always be respectful of your colleagues.Find that one person in your industry that rose from the bottom and work out the path they took to get to where you want to be in the future. Then map out your own path that reflects the path already taken to the top.

4. Watercooler gossiping will not help your career.

I know it is always tempting to be the popular one in your office. To be the one everyone wants to hang out with and the one to go to when there’s some gossip to share. Don’t get involved.Being the ‘office gossip” will sink your career faster than anything else. If you are serious about building a successful career, you do not have time to get involved in all this gossiping, complaining and time wasting.You don’t have to ignore your colleagues, but never indulge them by listening to the gossip. Make your excuses and get back to work. This one tip will safeguard your career more than any other tip.

5. When at work, work.

Your workplace is not a social club. It is a place to do the work you were employed to do.Of course being polite and friendly towards your colleagues is important, but never forget you are there to do work. Do it. Avoid getting yourself drawn into long conversations about last night’s episode of Elementary or your local football team’s performance.There is a time and place for these conversations, but it is not on company time. When at work, do your work. Lunchtimes and after work is the right time to discuss the sporting prowess of your team’s star striker.

6. Have a ‘how can I do it better?’ mindset.

One of the qualities I have seen in all successful career builders is they have a ‘how can I do it better?’ mindset. They are always asking themselves how they can do their work better, or how could they have solved that problem better.It is a mindset of continuous self-improvement and it is a practice that can catapult you to the top faster than anything else.Look for parts of your work that is duplicated and figure out ways to reduce the duplication.Often new working practices are welded on to old working practices and this leads to inefficiencies and duplication. Find those inefficiencies and develop better ways of doing that work. This habit is always appreciated by your bosses and tells them you are serious about your work.

7. Model the behaviors of the most successful person in your industry.

This one was the best tip I was ever given when I began my career. Find the person at the top and work out how they got there. This does not necessarily mean the person at the top of your company, it means the person at the top of your industry.If you are an architect, find out how Sir Frank Foster built his career. If you are a writer, find out how Stephen King built his career.These people have shown you how to do it, and they left clues. Read everything you can about them, learn from them and model their work habits.Modelling does not mean copying. It means taking the traits they used and adapting them to work best for you.My legal hero was a British lawyer, George Carmen QC. When I began my legal career, I read everything I could about George Carmen QC. I learned that the key skill that led to his success was his ability to communicate with juries. He was a brilliant communicator and I realized the one skill I could learn that would have a huge impact on my career was the ability to communicate with people.While I did not ultimately follow a legal career, that skill of being good at communicating has served me well in all the industries I have worked in.Whatever career path you are following, these tips will serve you well. Creating clear goals around them will give you the advantages you need to build a wildly successful career. They are tested, they work and all you need to do is to adapt them so they work for you.

Will you be doing the same things you are today? Will you have the same job, the same apartment, the same car? There are only three possibilities for your life in the future.

  1. It will be the same.
  2. It will be worse.
  3. It will be better.

There really is no other choice, so realizing this, which option will you choose?If you choose #1 or #2, then you can stop reading now, there is no need to set any long term goals for your life. You are, in effect Alice at the fork in the road.

“One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. ‘Which road do I take?’ she asked. ‘Where do you want to go?’ was his response. ‘I don’t know,’ Alice answered. ‘Then,’ said the cat, ‘it doesn’t matter.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

It really doesn’t matter which path you choose. If you don’t have a destination in mind, choosing a path is not important.But if you choose option #3, then being able to set long term goals is the best way to ensure that you’ll get to where you want to go.

The importance of setting long term goals

Where do you want to be in five years?Everyone has a plan for their life. We all imagine what our future will look like, what we will be doing, how we will be living and even who we will be living with.While things rarely workout exactly as planned, it is nonetheless important to set long term goals and work toward them. Without long term goals, we are just wondering aimlessly through life.And even if we have goals for our lives, unless we take concrete steps to realize them, we are relying on dumb luck to get us there.The most successful people know the power of goal setting and how to break down big long term goals into a series of smaller short term goals that will keep you focused and motivated.

Reach your goals in 7 easy steps

Do you suffer from paralysis by analysis? It’s a common condition that happens when people are faced with a lot of options or a seemingly overwhelming tasks.When faced with too many options, they become obsessed with choosing the “right” one, and never being sure what the “right” one is, they never make a decision.Likewise, when faced with a seemingly overwhelming task, they may never even start because they “Just don’t know where to begin”.By following these 7 easy steps, you can set and achieve almost any long term goal no matter how big or small it is.

1. Make goals, not wishes

Who hasn’t thought about winning the lottery or inheriting a lot of money from a rich relative? While there is nothing wrong with daydreaming about these things, they are not goals.A goal should be something that you can work towards. Not something that falls into your lap through luck.A goal is “I want to have a business that makes one million dollars a year within five years” not ” I want to win the mega millions within five years”.

2. Be specific

Remember when you were young and a grown up would ask “What do you want to be when you grow up?”.No one ever said I want to work in the medical field or in government or I want to help people. NO! You said I want to be a Doctor, the President, a Policeman. These were specific goals that we had as kids, and while most of us didn’t end up Astronauts or Presidents, we still pictured ourselves in these very specific roles.When you are setting long term goals for your life and career, it’s important to be as specific as possible. Get into detail about what you want, and think about it in very concrete terms.So instead of saying “In five years I want to be rich.” Think about what that really means to you and what it would look like. Having a more specific goal would be “In five years I want to own a Ferrari, live in an upscale neighborhood and be making enough money to take a two week vacation to Europe every year.”Having specific goals makes measuring your progress easier. You know you reached you goal to have a Ferrari if you look in the garage and see one. It’s much harder to gauge if you are “rich” as rich is always a moving target.

3. Write down your goals

A goal that’s not written down is just a wish. Please do not neglect this step!As humans, we are prone to daydreaming and wishful thinking. We need to take concrete steps to realize our goals.So when you set long term goals, you need to write them down. This single act will take your goal out of the realm of the mind and into the physical (real) world.Just by taking this step, your odds of achieving your goal go up tremendously.

4. Breakdown your long term goal into smaller goals

When setting long term goals, it’s okay to make them big, in fact, some say the bigger, the better.The only problem is that it can seem overwhelming to say “In five years I’ll have a business that makes one million dollars per year”.How do you get from not having a business at all to having one that makes a million dollars per year? The answer is the same way you’d eat an elephant, one bite at a time.Once you have decided on your long term goals, you’ll then need to break them down into bite sized chunks.So if our goal is to have a business that makes one million dollars per year five years from now, where do we start?First you need to do some research on a businesses you can do from home in your spare time. There are a lot of options out there that don’t necessarily take a lot of time or money to get started.Then you’ll want to get competent in the business by taking training courses and networking with other’s who are already successful in the business.Once you have a good foundation, it’s time to get started. Launching the business will be the scariest and most rewarding day of your life. But you’re still not close to making a million dollars per year, so break it down some more.Your first year goal maybe to earn $ 50,000. Your second year you’ll want to earn $ 150,000, third year $ 300,000 Fourth $ 600,000 and in the fifth year $ 1,000,000. Each of those years can be broken down into smaller goals.So your first year in order to make $ 50,000 you’ll need to make $ 4,170 per month, that’s $ 1,043 per week and $ 149 per day. You can break it down even further to say I need three sales per day to make the $ 149.At first you may have no sales, but by experimenting with various marketing strategies that you learned earlier, the sales will start coming in. Then it’s just a matter of fine tuning your marketing efforts and building on your successes.

5. Remember your long term goals

You have set your long term goals and even written them down.Now, don’t just put them in a drawer. We need to have a constant reminder of why we are doing this. Your long term goals should be displayed somewhere prominent (for you). You don’t need to hang them over the fireplace, but they should be placed where you can see them everyday.Some popular places are on your bathroom mirror or taped to your computer. Really anywhere you will see them everyday.Setting long term goals and reaching them is not an easy process. If it was, everyone would be making a million dollars per year.Things go wrong, issues and problems arise that no one can see. It’s during these times that remembering your long term goals is important.

6. Reevaluate and adjust

You should always be looking for ways to improve what you are doing, but it’s especially important in this new internet age.We don’t have to look very far to see how quickly things can change. You must be willing to change coarse or be left behind. Toys ‘R’ Us closing their stores in the U.S. is an example of this.((Star Business Journal: Toys ‘R’ Us is closing its last U.S. stores))So getting back to your growing business, the marketing that got you to $ 600,000 per year might not be the marketing that gets you to your long term goal of one million dollars per year.Always keep your goal in mind but always be willing to adjust course to get to it.

7. Don’t give up

Realize and understand that the road to success is never straight. You will inevitably come up against obstacles and barriers to your goals. This is not the time to quit.In fact, many times coping with the obstacle or finding a way around the barrier has lead to more success than anticipated. Always remember, the only sure way to fail is to quit.

Bonus Step, practice daily aphorisms

I know it sounds cheesy, but having a daily aphorism is a great way to stay motivated and focused. It’s a good practice whether you own a business or just want to get ahead in your job.Come up with five to ten concise statements that you find inspiring and write them down.When you wake up in the morning choose one aphorism for that day. Put it on your bathroom mirror next to your long term goal. Repeat the aphorism and the goal several times out loud. Carry the the aphorism with you for the rest of the day. You’ll want to keep it in a place that you will run across it several times, (wallet or pocket).Then every time you come across it, take it out and read it. It only takes a second to do, and that reinforcement is priceless. Not sure what to write down? Here are some common aphorisms:

  • “Those at the top of the mountain didn’t fall there.”
  • “If you do what you always did, you will get what you always got.”
  • “If you want to achieve greatness, stop asking for permission.”
  • “Don’t give up. Life rewards those who work hard at it.”
  • “I will strive to make today better than yesterday”
  • “Successful entrepreneurs are givers and not takers of positive energy.”
  • “Do one thing every day that scares you.”
  • “What’s the point of being alive if you don’t at least try to do something remarkable.”
  • “Every time they stay out late; every time they sleep in; every time they miss a workout; every time they don’t give 100% – They make it that much easier for me to beat them”.

Obviously, these are just suggestion, you can use whatever inspires or motivates you to improve your life.

Reaching success with long term goals

Very few of us can count on winning the lottery or inheriting a fortune for a rich relative. But luckily, most of us don’t need to.With so many options in the world today, the only thing holding most people back from success is themselves.Fear of failure is the number one reason most people will never become as successful as they could be. Change is a scary thing, and let’s face it, no one wants to lose, it’s not easy for people to get out of their comfort zone. Most people won’t unless they have to or they perceive that the reward is worth the risk.By setting long term goals and then breaking them down into smaller goals that are easily achievable, you have created your own personalized road map to success.And while that long term goal of making a million dollars a year seems insurmountable, the short term goal of making $ 149 is easily doable.Now, for some people, the thought of taking any risk will always be an insurmountable obstacle, for others, having a destination clearly defined and a series of steps they can take to get there all that they need to overcome the fear and find success.While the road to achieving your goals is never a straight line, and there will always be detours and bumps in the road. Embrace these things, they are all part of the journey and they really do make the fruits of your labor sweeter.Remember, Alice was just wandering through the forest, you want a destination.

Hope leads to a sense of expectancy. Combine this with setting short term goals and the likelihood of being more happy and successful moves from possibility to reality.

Short term goals, when created with well-formed criteria, offer incremental steps towards successfully achieving your bigger goals. In this step-by-step guide, you’ll discover the secret to creating short term goals that will set you up for success and help you sail past challenges of staying motivated easily.

What is a short-term goal?

Short term goals are ‘short’, meaning the time frame can be as short as 10 minutes, a day or as long as a week or a few months. Well-formed short term goals begin with the end in mind.

Quick tip to start: Write down the specific result you’ll be achieving and the date when it will happen. Then work backwards from this date describing what you’ll notice yourself doing (and achieving) until you have the first step you’ll take.

A short-term goal is the smallest step needed for you to reach a bigger goal centered around achieving something you passionately desire.

‘Passionate desire’ is the key. As Tony Robbins says,

People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals – that is, goals that do not inspire them.

Having passion when setting goals means getting your mind and body activated to fuel your energy and focus. Each time you achieve a short term goal, your body celebrates by producing and releasing chemicals such as dopamine, serotonin oxytocin and/or endorphins (feel-good neurotransmitters).

Ian Robertson, cognitive neuroscientist says,

Success and failure shape us more powerfully than genetics and drugs.

The regular release of the body’s natural chemicals supports brain change at a neural level, building your confidence and renewing your goal-oriented focus.

How short term goals make your life more fulfilling

Regardless of the area in your life that you set short term goals, the good news is this will have a ripple effect across all your life domains:

  • Improve your career prospects and your sense of identity also shifts.
  • Improve your body shape through managing food intake and your energy improves in a way that’s noticeable at work and home.
  • Improve your mindset and your attitude changes around how you engage with others.
  • Improve your personal health and your desire for self improvement lifts.

How short term goals advance your career

Specifically, you will need short term goals to help with your career. This is also how many people want to utilize short term goals.

Start by planning your career visually

Walt Disney was sacked for lacking imagination. Oprah Winfrey was told she’d never make it in television. Careers are destroyed by naysayers intent on keeping you small. The successful person designs a career goal and then creates incremental steps to ‘ladder up’ with short term goals.

Justin Dry from VinoMofo, a successful Australian wine distribution company, always begins his goal setting process with visual planning. He says,

I need to see it all in front of me like a puzzle I’m putting together. It kind of looks like the workings of a madman with lots of weird and wonderful shapes and lines connecting the words.

Whether you use masses of post-it notes that cover a wall, large sheets of paper to spread your ideas on or a journal to map your path – messy planning gets your ideas out of your head so you see different possibilities and pathways available to you.

Begin this process by asking, “What are my best hopes for my career?” Write them down and place them somewhere you’ll notice them every day.

Make you think like a start-up entrepreneur

While successful career planning starts with a messy and random process to let those ‘idea gems’ – the embryos of well-formed short term goals rise, the next step is taking these nuggets and using them to set your direction.

Think of yourself (and your career) as if you’re the CEO of your own successful start-up – one with a clear vision of what you want and how you’ll get it. Rather than waiting for a boss to give you goals, be proactive and set your own.

Karen Lawson, CEO of Slingshot says,

Set a vision, and be focused on the intent of these goals. Create actions which not only build on those of yesterday, but improve what you do tomorrow. Your pathways will need to be flexible, challenged and accountable.

Begin by listing the bigger steps needed to achieve your goal. Then chunk these down into smaller steps with specific actions needed to achieve them. These action steps are the work horses of your short term goals. Create a specific time frame to complete them and maintain accountability – as if you’re reporting to your ‘higher up’.

Begin this process by asking yourself: “What difference will I notice when I take these steps?” Then ask: “What difference will my boss/es notice when I take these steps?”

Establish ‘triggers’ for your daily habits

Twyla Tharp (born 1941) legendary dancer and choreographer, maintains an exacting routine designed to trick her mind into a daily exercise habit.

I begin each day of my life with a ritual; I wake up at 5:30 A.M., put on my workout clothes, my leg warmers, my sweatshirts, and my hat. I walk outside my Manhattan home, hail a taxi, and tell the driver to take me to the Pumping Iron gym at 91st street and First Avenue, where I workout for two hours. The ritual is not the stretching and weight training I put my body through each morning at the gym; the ritual is the cab. The moment I tell the driver where to go I have completed the ritual.

It’s a simple act, but doing it the same way each morning habitualizes it — makes it repeatable, easy to do. It reduces the chance that I would skip it or do it differently. It is one more item in my arsenal of routines, and one less thing to think about. (The Creative Habit, Twyla Tharp)

To do this list, create a trigger point – the smallest step you’ll do that will catapult you into taking action like Twyla Tharp did. What will be your ritual of ‘getting in the cab’?

Get you to talk about the future

Melanie Perkins CEO of Canva, a thriving design and publishing solution, is known for ‘frequently talking about the future’.

Orienting your thoughts towards a future-focus reinforces how important your vision and goals are to you. Ralph Waldo Emerson famously said, “You are what you think.”

  • Make it a habit to read your goals daily.
  • Think about what you’ll notice that will be different in your life when you achieve them.
  • Express your goals to someone important in your life.
  • Whisper them to yourself throughout your day.

Future-focused conversations (both with yourself and others) establish a pattern of expectancy which continue fueling not only your desire, but an expectancy of achieving it.

Manage mental resistance

When you begin with ‘hope’, you activate a sense of ‘expectancy’. A belief that what you want is not only possible, it’s within reach. Hope and expectancy are two powerful motivators in propelling you forward to a successful life. When you’re ‘moving forward‘ with hope, you’re orienting yourself towards a desired future. When ‘moving away from‘ something you perceive as painful you’re activating ‘fear’, which can also be a strong motivator helping you avoid pain; for example, losing your job if your quarterly performance scores don’t improve.

Sarah, a manager at a busy merchandising company saw her doctor because she was feeling tired. After a thorough examination the doctor advised Sarah to lose 15 kilos as this was contributing to her tiredness. The news felt overwhelming as Sarah worked long hours and rarely found time to shop for fresh food, so relied on fast food to keep her going.

For Sarah, the doctor activated her fear by describing what could happen (heart attack and/or diabetes) if she didn’t manage her weight by shedding 15 kilos.

While ‘moving away from’ motivation can be successful, a way of amplifying positive motivators that will see Sarah begin ‘moving towards’ her goal is by talking about what outcomes Sarah would notice by losing 15 kilos. For example, managing her weight may see Sarah being more efficient at work, getting out more socially or feeling more able to manage work pressures and deadlines.

To do this with your own goal setting, think about what’s important to you about achieving your goals. Write down your answers. Ask: “What will you notice that will be different in your life when these changes happen?”

6 Easy steps to success with short term goals

Setting short terms goals will lead you closer to a happier and more successful life, but how to achieve that? Take the following steps and you will start achieving your dreams:[1]

Step 1: Defining your best hopes

Try this process yourself by thinking of an area of your life you’d like to improve.

For example:

  • What are your best hopes for your finances?
  • What are your best hopes for your relationship?
  • What are your best hopes for your career?
  • What are your best hopes for your health?

This process involves ‘chunking up’ your ideas so you relate to the outcome. In this process, you go on to achieve not only the goal and the outcome it gives you, but also the transformation of your behavior and mindset that will happen as a result of achieving your goal.

Step 2: Noticing what’s different

The next question to ask yourself is: “What would you notice that was different from the way you usually did things?”

‘Noticing’ helps you build a vision of what could be possible. The richer the description you can build around the tiny details, the more ‘real’ your preferred future becomes.

Step 3: Continue asking: ‘What else?’

Most of us know there’s a hidden reason or a long-buried hope beneath why we want something.

Often times, our ego gets a little defensive about it and protective of it; yet if we dig and resurface a truth, then a weight can be lifted, allowing you a freedom to move forward.

Step 4: Ask: ‘Who else will notice the difference?’

Relationships with family, friends, colleagues and a partner are important. Seeing the change they’ll notice helps put a third person perspective on the differences they notice about the changes they see in you.

Imagine what they will notice about you that would let them know you are somehow different as a result of achieving this goal.

Step 5: Imagine a miracle happened tonight

Imagine that if you went to bed tonight and a miracle happened; and you were the very best version of yourself and that you had achieved your best hopes.

When you woke up tomorrow morning after the miracle happened, what would you notice that would tell you you’ve achieved the change you’re seeking?

Step 6: Describe your day as if the miracle had happened

Go through your day, moment by moment. Begin with what time you’d wake and then describe the differences you’d notice in every tiny action you do. Notice in detail what’s different about this day – a day when you are at your very best because you’re living your best hopes.

4 Proven tools to track your short term goal success

When you set a short term goal, establish a measurement system to track your progress:[2]

1. Create a running tally

One of the best devices to keep your short term goal setting on track is to keep a running record or tally of the number of days in a row that you’ve sustained your goal.

For example, if improving your health is important to you and you plan to reduce your weight by 5 kilos by not eating any foods containing sugar, then set up a simple chart and track how many days in a row you can do this. Aim for 5 days, then 10, then 20 days in a row. If you have a small diversion and eat sugar one day, simply start again.

Once you feel confident that you can continue with this step, add another such as taking 5,000 steps per day. Again, set up a simple tally chart either in your diary or somewhere visible and enjoy marking up one more day that you’ve achieved your short term goal. It won’t be long before your goal of losing 5 kilos is met.

2. Keep a journal

Maintaining a journal will help you focus on identifying the things you’re noticing that are different because you’ve set a well-formed short term goal.

Aim to complete the journal at the end of each day and recall in detail the things that you’re noticing. This helps keep you connected with your desired outcome and the transformation you’re experiencing in both your behavior and mindset.

3. Share your progress with a trusted friend or coach

By voicing the change and expressing how far you’re noticing yourself move towards your goal, you’re reinforcing the power of change you’re experiencing. And you’ll be activating the feel-good neurotransmitters that are so important for bringing your confidence, motivation and positive changes to your brain to succeed.

4. Visualize your progress

Before you go to sleep in the evening, visualize your tomorrow. See yourself continuing to do the things that support your change. Walk yourself through the tiny details that add up to the changes you want to see yourself doing including the time you’ll wake up. In the morning, re-activate the visualization and then ‘step into’ your day.

Summing it up

Change is possible. Short term goals that build upon each other are the stepping stones to achieving your best hopes.

Using your creative imagination by noticing the small differences occurring daily offers a positive way to create practical change in an easy and doable way.

Above all, make sure your goal is powered by ‘passionate desire’ so you achieve your desired outcomes.

Kate Middleton and her husband Prince William have spent the past week relaxing with their children like many parents on half term.

The family of five spent time at their country house over the weekend, it is believed.

However, the royals are back in London today.

Their two oldest children are heading back to school after the excitement of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding.

Prince George, four, attends Thomas’s Battersea school and Princess Charlotte, three, goes to Willcocks Nursery School.

However, the family spent the break from schooling in Norfolk.

According to reports the family, which has a brand new addition in Prince Louis, who is only month old, spent time at Anmer Hall.

The Duchess of Cambridge was spotted at the Houghton Horse Trials last week with George and Charlotte.

The equestrian event is held only 10 minutes away from Anmer Hall by car, at Houghton Hall.

An international event, the day sees horse fans compete in events such as show jumping and cross country.

Kate Middleton wore a Zara dress on the day which cost only £39.99.

She added a tote bag worth £100 from Little Makes Big and £150 Catherine Zoraida leaf earrings.

Princess Charlotte wore a pink dress and munched on an ice cream while George wore a green polo neck t-shirt and khaki shorts.

Anmer Hall in Norfolk was give to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge by the Queen as wedding gift.

The 18th century house is on the Sandringham Estate, where the Queen likes to spend Christmas.

It has a whopping 10 bedrooms and was recently renovated to the tune of £1.5 million.

This renovation included the addition of a conservatory.

The half term will have given the family some time to relax after the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, in which both George and Charlotte played a role.

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, will join the rest of the Royal Family for a public engagement in the coming week, and Prince George and Princess Charlotte are likely to be there too. 

The Duchess of Cambridge will join the Queen at Trooping the Colour, which marks the official birthday of the Her Majesty.

Trooping the Colour is a formal affair, with the men of the Royal Family in military dress.

Tommy Robinson fans are lashing out at the media and Judge Geoffrey Marson QC, who sentenced him to 13 months in jail. Marson has been called a “traitor”, “pedophile” and some have demanded his address be made public.

It is understood that police are acting on several threats made on social media against Marson, including calls for him to “live in fear every second until Tommy Robinson is freed”. Marson has been the target of an online hate campaign, including a video set to strange orchestral music zooming in on a photo of the judge’s face.

Robinson was arrested and subsequently imprisonment for contempt after he put a sexual assault case – which includes 29 charges of child sex and neglect – at risk of a mistrial by live streaming facts of the case within earshot of jurors as they entered the court. The self-styled ‘independent journalist’ was already on a suspended sentence for a previous contempt of court charge.

On Friday, while Robinson was before Leeds Crown Court, Marson said: “No one could possibly conclude that it would be anything other than highly prejudicial to the defendants’ in the trial.”

“I respect everyone’s right to free speech. That’s one of the most important rights that we have. With those rights come responsibilities. The responsibility to exercise that freedom of speech within the law. I am not sure you appreciate the potential consequence of what you have done.

“If the jurors in my present trial get to know of this video I will do doubt be faced with an application to discharge the jury. If I have to do that it will mean a re-trial, costing hundreds and hundreds and thousands of pounds,” he added.

In court, Marson explained that a re-trial would also mean witnesses in the sexual abuse case would again have to face the ordeal of giving evidence again before a jury. However despite his concerns, the decision to introduce reporting restrictions was successfully challenged and were lifted on Tuesday after the Independent newspaper and Leeds Live challenged the ban.

Robinson remains in jail after Marson told him in court: “People have to understand that if they breach court orders there will be very real consequences.”

In response, the former-EDL leader’s supporters have also taken aim at journalists reporting on the case – or for not writing about it at all because of the restrictions put in place. Leeds Crown Court reporter Stephanie Finnegan took to Twitter to explain why Robinson was jailed, and why the media weren’t able to report on the case, which also made her the target of anger.

Digital editor for the Trinity Mirror Regional papers Ed Walker called for those with issues to file formal complaints, instead of harassing journalists individually through various channels. As a result, he was also harassed by Robinson supporters.

But as the series cut to black, was change in the air?
