Got Goals? Did You Reach Them?

Got Goals? Did You Reach Them?

 by: Lynne Dean


Most of us have goals.


Big ones, small ones. But not always do we follow through with them and
that...hum…could be dangerous.


You see, within a lifetime our goals may change a little or dramatically,
which is fine. The problem is when you have definite goals but can't follow
through with them. It's crushing. It makes you feel miserable. As if you can't
accomplish anything properly. You start something but it stays unfinished.
That’s the deception we want to stay away from. It is a bad bad habit!


Here are a few tips to start fresh!


Write your goal down. I know it's simple but it works! On a calendar, on a
notebook, perhaps put a reminder in your computer to pop up everyday. Write it
anywhere where you will be able to see it and where it will make an impact to
encourage action. Action is the step that will ultimately finish your goal. Tip
one: write it down


Break it down. Smaller steps are easier and more achievable. It makes you
feel better because you actually did part of your goal. Give yourself a pat on
the shoulder! Tip two: smaller goals = achievable.


Just do it. The action that will make your story a happy story. Not being
fastidious here, just realistic. That’s where most of us fail (gym membership
that you never use, correspondent course that ended without you, boxes that are
still unpack after 2 years of moving in ect.). This is where the bad old habit
disappears; it’s when the action replaces the inertia. Tip three: Just do it.


“Nature gave man two ends –one to sit on and one to think with. Ever since,
man’s success has been dependent on the one he uses most.” –George R.
Fitzpatrick
