It's not just football that needs goals
We all need aims, or life unfolds
In a haphazard, pointless way;
So what will you achieve today?
Let's say you focus on a dream
However distant it may seem
Positive thoughts change how you see
And perception of your goal will be
As if by magic within sight;
Willpower sets your heart alight!
All obstacles will melt away
Belief in self once found, will stay.
Write down on a piece of card
One thing you want – it isn't hard
Keep it by you and re-read
It's like the planting of a seed.
Each day you watch it, it will grow
You'll reap the wished-for thoughts you sow
Your brain, emboldened, comes on stream
Hey presto! You'll fulfil your dream!
