The first step is WRITE DOWN YOUR GOAL. It helps you believe it can come true. "Seeing is believing!" Then do something really simple attach a final date to your goal. One month, one year, five years whatever it may be. Next, put together a timeline and simple plan how you will accomplish your goal. Take a look at and talk to some other people that have done what you intend to do and ask them how they did it? Try to make a few friendships along the way with someone successful in accomplishing exactly what you are setting out to do. They just may volunteer to help you do it. Associating with winners in life is infectious.
Some people say sucesss is the result of "preparation meeting luck"! I say it's simple hard work or "planning your work and working your plan". Just think how sweet it will be to realize your goal. Seeing yourself being successful will help you enjoy and look forward to working towards acheiving your goal. Everyone sympathizes with a loser BUT you can bet one thing; "everyone loves a winner"! Do you want to win in life?
Here are a few tips from some experts that really work...
"Having goals in life is what makes the world go around. Everyone, yes everyone, has at least one goal. People need goals to survive, achieve, and to be successful. Goals are a thing all people need but yet often have a hard time sticking to them. If you mess up on our way to achieve a goal, you stop altogether or decide to start all over again. There are many tips to help you achieve small goals, all the way up to huge life goals that may take you years to reach. You must never lose sight of your goals as this will cause you to become discouraged and you may never reach them. The following six tips will help you to keep those goals within sight.
Picture yourself achieving the goals, dream about the goal, imagine your life after the goal has been achieves. Maybe you want to lose one hundred pounds, well, imagine yourself one hundred pounds lighter and out shopping for new clothes. Try to concentrate on the positives rather than what has happened in the past to stop you from achieving your goal.
You will encounter people who will doubt you and they will voice it. Ignore those negative people and smile at them when they say something negative about your goal. Focus on proving them wrong. Imagine losing those one hundred pounds someone told you that you never would lose. Again imagine yourself walking up to them and seeing their face when they see the new you.
Form a group of your peers that are trying to reach a similar goal. Losing weight is a hard thing to do alone, maybe you have a couple of friends that all want to lose weight too. Their goals do not have to be exactly the same as yours for you to work together at achieving those goals. There are a lot of organizations out there that offer weight loss support. You can join these groups and be around people who are going through the same struggles or have gone through the same struggles to achieve their weight loss goals. Organizations are a good way to surround yourself with people who are trying to do what you are and also people who have achieved their goals and can share their experiences with you. Hearing how someone else achieved his or her goals is a huge boost of hope and will help keep you positive.
Another great is to find you a mentor to work with one on one. A mentor can help keep you focused and is also there to support you no matter when or where you need it. If you know someone who has reached a goal and you admire them for then ask them to be your mentor and help you learn how to reach your own goals. Your mentor does not need to be someone you that you see or even live near, you can communicate with him or her through writing and phone calls. Mentors are great because they have already overcome the obstacles that you will encounter on your journey to reach your goals and they can offer you great advice and insight as to how to overcome obstacles.
As you embark on your adventure to reach your goals, you need to not lose sight of you and your health. Do not jeopardize your own well being to achieve a goal. Take time out for you, even if it is only a few minutes, read a book, take a bubble bath. Do some relaxation methods or just sit and relax quietly for a couple minutes. Take this time to reflect on how you are doing and give yourself a pat on the back for sticking to your goal path.
And finally the biggest and most valuable tip is to do whatever you need to reach your goal. Just sitting and thinking about what you want to achieve is not going to get you there. You have to work at it and make it happen. If you take the needed steps and put these six tips to use then you will no doubt achieve whatever goal you set for yourself. Stay positive and work hard and your goal will become reality."
