One of the things that differentiates those who continuously fail in life with those who are successful is goal setting. If you write it down, the chances increase that you will reach your goal.

A service called FutureMe will let you send an email to yourself in the future to remind you of thoughts and feelings previously and hold yourself accountable to make sure the task gets done.

You post the message as private or make it public for others to see. The public messages are a great inspiration to see what others are trying to do with their own lives and perhaps some will stretch your imagination on how you can grow.

As a result you will be able to:

• Set a big hairy audacious goal that pushes you to be the best you can be.
• Remind yourself in the future of the goal.
• Reflect on the past work and personal experiences for completeness.

What are some of your goals?
