Perhaps you have
never taken a stock of the most valuable and precious wealth of yours.
Every person possesses it since the day of birth. This wealth is our
life, its minutes, hours, days and years. Proper planning starts when we
begin to take stock of this wealth. So, we should make the most
efficient use of every minute to preserve and multiply this wealth. The
initial stage of planning is identifying and setting your major life
goals.
One way or another, deliberately or not, but we speculate on our life
goals. More often we don’t even call them goals, they are just obscure
and unshaped dreams, which exist only in our imagination. But to
speculate on them and to write them down on the paper are different
things. Goals which weren’t written down remain only Utopian and vague
dreams, which aren’t likely to be accomplished.
How to make your dreams come true? To begin with, transform your dreams
in the shape of the written goals and quit formulating your goals using
the subjunctive mood. Never write: “It would be great to travel to
Italy” or “It would be nice to buy a car”. Erase these statements from
your memory and start writing your goals in such a way: “I’ll buy Jeep
Cherokee in two years time”.
“Start from wherever you are and with whatever you’ve got.”
Actually, goals are the tools on your road to success. You should know
the secret of their correct utilization. This secret is the
materialization of your goals on the paper. When you see your goals in a
written form you make a new glance on what you really want. Writing your
goals will help you make a sense of what you want to achieve, analyze
your goals, elaborate on their perfection, maybe even to revamp them
somehow and single out specific standards and means for their
achievement.
Committing your goals to a paper is a great success strategy, which
delivers big results. All successful people use this strategy for
achieving their life goals. They take advantage of this strategy and
keep writing their goals repeatedly and persistently.
Writing down and examining your goals means creating a set of concrete
and determined instructions for your subconscious mind. In such a way
you give your subconscious mind a set of instructions to work on. These
instructions must be filled with positive and well - disposed emotions.
The more positive instructions you give to it, the better results you
get. So, write your goals only in a positive way.
The key force that drives you towards your goal is a thorough and
detailed description of everything you want. You can go into details and
particularize all the slightest minutiae. But at the same time your
description should be per se. You should draw a clear – cut picture of
your goal rather than vague and indistinct image of what you want to
achieve. Be unwavering to decide what exactly you want to attain.
Accompany your written goals with visual pictures. Visualize each goal
of yours. Close your eyes and imagine a car you want to buy. Get on this
car, feel the softness of the new seats, the smell of the leather in the
passengers compartment. Let your imagination draw a vivid picture of
your goal and embellish it with bright details. Don’t neglect this
method. Remember that the visualization of your goals keeps your
motivation up and stimulates your desire to reach your goals.
An effective goal setting system can’t go without frequent review of
your goals. The revision of your goals will help your analyze them more
thoroughly and, perhaps, to revamp them slightly. Be flexible and have
courage to change your goals. To change your goal doesn’t mean a
failure, it is a victory as you have realized in time that something was
different.
Keep in mind that the more concentrated you are on your goals the more
likely you are to achieve them. Let’s take Brian Tracy, one of the most
successful and productive people, for instance. He began his way as an
apprentice on the ocean – going ship. Only his perseverance and
discipline helped him develop an effective goal setting system, which
led him to success in life. Now he is one of the most high – paid and
successful businessman.
“Discipline is the bridge between your goals and their accomplishment.”
You can compose the whole Declaration of your life goals. This document
will come into force only when you write down all your goals. It’ll be
confirmed by you and the control for its accomplishment will lie on your
conscious. From this moment you and nobody else take the responsibility
for your life.
Try this success strategy of writing down your goals and be sure that it
won’t let you down. Remember a saying: “If you don’t have a target, the
arrow will hit nothing.”
