Introduction to success
Goal setting is a well-known yet powerful method of achieving
most everything you want in life. Anyone can do it but hardly
anyone does. Imagine - something you can do in just five minutes
a day in which you can increase your income, improve your
relationships and propel yourself towards success. It has been
proven that people who set serious written goals lead richer,
happier, more fulfilling lives than people who trust their
destiny to chance. If you at this moment do not have a set of
written goals.Take a minute and think about what are some things
you really need to accomplish and want to accomplish. For the
purpose of developing a habit of goal setting, I suggest you
start with short term simple goals that can be addressed in a
short time. Your goals can also be personality traits about
yourself you would like to change. Above all else you must look
at these things with serious intent. Write them down, in order
importance. Now give those written words value. Transfer your
goals onto one of those little leather like note binders you
find at most dollar stores. Along with them write down ways you
expect to accomplish each one. Studies has shown that people
tend to keep up with notes written on stationary that looks
important, like one of those little note binders. Good examples
are diaries and personal ledgers, with a pen holder for
convenience. Set aside a little time each week to update and
review your goals as you would a diary. This not only helps you
to stay on track and realize the progress you have made. But it
has a programming effect on the subconscious mind. That modifies
your behavior and allows easy transition from one habit to
another.
---------------------------- Why People Don't Write Goals
----------------------------
1. Fear of failure
2. Lack of discipline
3. Poor self worth. In other words you don't feel you are
capable of great things.
4. Failure to see the rewards that result from serious goal
setting.
5. Impatient
6. Unable to devise an effective strategy for dealing with the
situation. This is usually a result of poor information or
misinformation on the part of the planner.
7. Improper environment is when we travel in a circle of people
who do not support a progressive way of thinking.
-------------------------------Anatomy of the
plan------------------------------------------
The effectiveness of any plan pivots on how well the goal is
defined. Quite often we concentrate on the by products of the
core objective. Goals are set within definite timeline.
Practical tools and methods at your disposal are examined. All
ways leave room to make adjustments to the plan as conditions
may influence how well the original plan works.
-----------------------------State of
mind---------------------------------------------------
There is an age old question in dealing with what motivates us.
To what extent do our minds control us and to what extent are we
in control of our minds. Are the decisions we make our own based
on sound analytical thinking. Or do outside influences play
apart in how we decide the need for change. No matter to what
extent environmental influences affect how we view our
priorities. Goal setting is a necessity that warrants serious
consideration as a part of your daily routine.
