How to
Achieve The Goals You Set For Yourself
Goals can be helpful or they can be
counter-productive by being too high, too complicated unfocused, or simply
unrealistic. These ideas can help you be in a better place to reach or if
necessary, revise any goals you might set for your self, whether they are
short term or long term goals.
1. Set reasonable goals
for yourself. They can be *large* goals; just be realistic. Don't set
yourself up to miss your goal.
2. Don't make excuses.
And if you fail, try another tact, angle, plan, or direction.
3. Have a solid plan or
strategy for reaching your goal (s).
4. Be willing to make
sacrifices to get what you want.
5. Stay "in action" and
don't allow yourself to get side tracked or to slow down just because
things become difficult.
6. Don't blame others for
anything. It serves no purpose, it takes you out of focus of your goals,
and it is a big "energy drainer."
7. If you slip at one
stage of your goal, re-plan it, and start in on it. Do not let much time
go by, or you will lose your momentum, which can be an important tool in
reaching a goal.
8. Be consistent in your
vision and in your highest desires.
9. Ask for help from
everyone you trust, respect and admire in helping you reach your goals.
You'll be surprised at how willing many people are to help you.
10. Use positive
"self-talk" and continue to believe in yourself and in your ability to get
where you want to go or to do what you want to get done! Be persistent and
keep your mind and heart in your project. "Faint heart never won fair
lady."
Food For Thought
The biggest obstacle standing between
you and anything you want, is your lack of belief that you can have
it. Once you truly believe it is possible, once you can see yourself
doing it or being it or having it, the rest is just details. With
belief, plus the commitment to follow through and do whatever it
takes, anything can be yours.
Everything you need to get there is available to you, when you believe
and when you commit to getting there. Know that you can do it. Nothing
can hold you back once you have belief and commitment. You will find a
way. You can. Do it.
Pleasure is a matter of conditioning. A teenager
smoking her first cigarette doesn't enjoy it at all. She's almost
certainly doing it to "fit in" and it probably even makes her a little
sick. After a while, though, she likes it so much she finds it hard to
quit.
Strategy for achieving your success: Choose the pleasures that move
you toward your goals.
For example, there is just as much potential for pleasure in jogging 2
miles as there is in eating a bag of potato chips. The person who is
trying to get in top physical shape would be well advised to find his
pleasure in the jogging rather than the chips. Just like everything
else in your world, your pleasures are under your control. Use them to
your advantage.
What is it that you truly want to do? You can do it. Realize that you
are as capable as any person. See yourself doing it. Touch it. Hear
it. Taste it. Walk inside of it. Drive around in it. Believe in it and
believe that it is yours. |
