People create lists almost everyday. People created grocery lists, to do list, and a lists of DREAMS! The ironic thing about the list of dreams is that a dreams is an idea or hope that is impractical or unlikely ever to be realized. Why would you create a list that will most likely never be completed. You need to change that word "dreams" to the word "Goal". A goal is something that somebody wants to achieve or accomplish. When creating goals you have to actually create ones that you plan on completing. Do not waste your time creating goals that you don't plan on spending time completing or want to complete. The more refined and defined your goals are, the greater your chance of achieving them. Once you create a goal or a list of goals you become goal oriented. To become goal oriented is to be strongly motivated and highly organized in achieving tasks that are specified in advance. Having goals give you the initial drive to begin fulfilling them. There are some personal characteristics that everyone needs to fulfill any goal that they will ever set.
- Determination. This is especially important with respect to big goals that will require considerable time and energy. One way to increase your determination is to…
- Break big goals into manageable stages. Smaller, “stepping stone goals” keep you from feeling overwhelmed. They also provide positive reinforcement and a sense of accomplishment along the way.
- Eliminate distractions. If your efforts are too diluted, it really won’t matter what else you do. When you are serious about achieving an important goal you need to push less important things out of the picture.
- Constantly evaluate your progress. To reach your target you must stay on course. That means checking you progress to make sure you are still moving in the right direction. Your path will always be somewhat fluid, so keep your eye on the ball.
- Believe in yourself. Doubt is a waste of time and energy. Deal with doubts before you start working toward your goal, not after. Doubt is the opposite of determination and engaging in it will bring your progress to a standstill.
- Make a commitment. Every important goal will present you with challenges along the way. If you are not totally committed to success, those challenges could seem insurmountable. Making a total commitment to success will shrink those challenges down so you can climb over them.
- Make yourself accountable. Tell others what you intend to do so you will feel accountable. This can be very motivating for several reasons. The more accountability you feel, the more motivated you will become.
With good work ethic you can accomplish everything!
