Got Goals? Did You Reach Them?

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
