Have Your Reached Your Goal?
We all dream big and set big goals for ourselves. However only a few of us ever stick with it and reach those goals. Why is it that some of us are able to crush our goals while others struggle to take the first step?
Are the goals we choose too large? No. In fact you should set outrageous goals for yourself. You do only get 1 life to live so if you are going to put in all the effort you should get exactly what you want! In order to do that you need to break your goal down a bit to more manageable chunks. Where most people fail is that they try to complete their goal the first week they start. Now if you goal is a big goal its going to take some time to get there!
Here is a new way to help you create small little "victories" each day to build momentum to accomplishing the goals you have.
1. What is your goal: (write it here)
2. What skills do you need to develop in order to reach your goal: (write them here)
3. What practices do you need to develop to gain those skills: (write them here)
4. What daily actions can you take to move a step closer to your goal: (write them here)
As you can see most people only get the first part down. They write their goal down but fail to come up with what skills they need in order to reach their goal. Think of it this way who is the person I need to become to reach that goal and what skills do they possess that enables them to reach that goal?
Once you know what skills you want to develop then you must put it into practice. How are you going to develop those skills?
Finally most people think that in order to develop skills you must slave away all day everyday for hours on end. However all you really need to commit to is 5-10 minutes of a daily action. You do not need hours a day and it is hard to find that time. However committing to 5-10 minutes a day every day will help build the consistency of your practice and grow your skills so that before you know it you have become the person you need to be to reach the goal you have set!
If you have a goal you want to reach follow the above formula and let us know what daily action you are taking to reach your goals so we can support you in the process.
