In this edition we focus on not just setting goals, but actually achieving them. Turbulent times often create stress and worry. But they also create opportunity. Out of work or worried that you're next? Maybe it's time start a business or to take a chance on that career you always wanted. Assess what you want, then figure out how to get it and go for it. After all, as Napoleon Hill said, "A goal is a dream with a deadline." And if that's not inspiring enough, listen to those savvy Nike marketers and "Just do it."      Goal setting is a way to make your dream reality   "The difference between a goal and a dream is the written word." - Gene Donohue   What are you doing with the rest of your life? Are there special things you dream of accomplishing?  Maybe your heart's desire is to start a family or purchase your dream house. Have you fantasized about changing careers? Going back to college to get an MBA or a law degree? Would you like to make more money, get a promotion, start your own business?    Consider this: You wouldn't start a cross-country trip without a road map or a destination, so why would you go through life without setting goals and or creating a "life plan"? The first step to achieving your dreams is to move away from vague longings to  defined goals. Just the very act of writing down your goals creates the road map to your success. Although just the act of writing them down can set the process in motion, it is also extremely important that to set realistic goals within a reasonable timeline to provide a tangible framework for your strategy. Here are some steps to consider when setting your goals/life plan in motion: It's very =2 0 important that your the thoughts in your head are positive. Unless someone is critical to helping you achieve your goal(s), do not freely share your goals with others. The negative attitude from friends, family and neighbors can drag you down quickly. Define and clarify your short-term versus long-term goals, whether it's cleaning out a closet within a month or learning to speak a second language fluently within two years. Review your goal s daily. Each morning when you wake up read your list of goals, and each night before going to bed review them again. This way you are impressing the subconscious mind. Remember, the more focused you are on your goals the more likely you are to accomplish them. I encourage you to pick up a pen and paper and jot down the goals you =2 0 want to achieve over the next year, 18 months, two years. Look at each goal and evaluate it. Make any changes necessary to ensure it meets the SMART goals criteria. What is a SMART goal: S = Specific M = Measurable A = Attainable R = Realistic T = Timely =2 0   Having a plan goes a long way in giving you the confidence to carry on. Set realistic goals within a reasonable timeline to provide a tangible framework for your 20 strategy. Challenge yourself, but don't set yourself up for failure. Setting and meeting realistic goals will give you the sense of accomplishment you'll need to help you through life's obstacles. Review your goals regularly, celebrate those you've accomplished, and be prepared to modify your plan or redefine your goals as new situations, options or opportunities arise. If you follow this process every day, you will be on your way to achieving unlimited success in every aspect of your life. Remember the words of the German philosopher Goethe -- "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.  Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."    Yours in color,    Colette A.M.

                       Sub/Urban Justice Summer '09                        










 Do you know any motivated teens that are looking to transform their       
 schools and communities in just ways?  Sub/Urban Justice Summer (SJS) is  
 currently accepting applications for this year's six-week summer program:

                   Running From July 6th to August 13th                    


 SJS brings together a diverse group of students from Newton, Brookline,   
 Boston, Needham and Cambridge to learn about social justice issues        
 (examples include race, class, the environment, housing, education,       
 sexism, immigration, and transportation), connect with existing social    
 justice groups, and create community-based organizing projects*.          







 Participants will learn about the world by engaging in interactive games,
 workshops, group discussions, field trips and community tours. They will  
 meet and work with local experts in the fields of housing, environmental  
 and transportation justice. They will collaborate and network with Boston
 youth groups. And by the end of the summer, they will have developed a    
 community action plan to work on an issue that matters to them.           
 Motivated students may apply for our year-round employment program to     
 complete their projects during the school year.                           

 If you know a young person (or are one yourself!) interested in applying  
 to SJS, please visit www.bostonmobilization.org/subjust.html to download  
 a brochure and application. Or call Director Christopher Messinger @      
 (617) 276-5873 with any questions.                                        

                   Final Applications are due May 25th!                    











 *An example of a community project from last year is Speak Up!  Students  
 from four different private schools determined that racism in their       
 schools was seriously impacting all students, but was rarely discussed.   
 In response, they began gathering stories from their peers, to be         
 compiled into a book and partnered with a curriculum guide. The Speak Up!
 Anthology is due to be published this spring - contact Christopher        
 (617-492-5599) or email speakupstories@gmail.com for more information or  
 to schedule a workshop...
