The goal makes a demand
With the help of a plan
You take charge of what you can-
The manageable parts called steps:
Your plans
Your action
Your pace
On the parts-
Inspiration
Motivation
Select support
Calm focus
On the parts
And so much more
They add up-
That’s a lot of control
Even when the demand is
Not your personal own
On which you have little control-
Like the task of writing
A report for work or a course
Now you have so much control
To lead you to your goal!

How will I turns to
Here I do
Energy in place
Progress made
Stress displaced!

If you need help to cope
With the demands of the goal
Talk it out; sort it out;
Reach out.
