Reach Your Goals

Anyone who deeply desires to do/ have/ achieve/ or become anything (in every area of their life) LOVES the effort which he/she MUST exert to obtain their desire. Developing a strong desire to achieve/ get what you want (in every area of your life) is NOT enough — it MUST be paid for in strokes of daily effort. The problem is that many people have a strong desire to do/ achieve/ have something but are reluctant to pay the price in daily effort . They have tremendous desires which they wish to obtain by wishful thinking or by having someone else make it easy for them. As a result, you see other characteristics in their features: you see laziness , weakness , and frustration there. You do not see in such a face the strength of a man/ woman who will go out there to get what he/ she wants with love of every effort of it. "Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands…so that your daily life may win the respect of outsider...

In order to get the results you want (in every area of your life), you must desire to, plan to, and make the necessary effort to get it. You have to plan every step upward to your own high mountaintop, and it is worth mentioning that a good plan is like a road map: it shows the final destination and usually the best way to get there. Here are 25 key reasons why you should plan and prepare diligently before you begin taking steps toward your goals (in every area of your life): 1.     That's what the scripture says: "Write the vision; make it plain upon tablets so he may run who reads it…" — Habakkuk 2:2 (RSV) 2.    Courage and confidence to do what you've planned (in every area of your life) comes through practice. 3.     It helps you to prepare yourself psychologically in terms of resolve and discipline. And knowing the price to pay (for example, learning new skills) helps you to accomplish this. 4.   The price for achieving p...

It is the beginning of a task that is more difficult than continuing once the momentum has been created. Once you have the momentum you will become unstoppable; consistency creates momentum and momentum is sustained through consistency. Moreover, the instant you commit yourself to something is the instant you start achieving it. And until there is commitment, there will always be a way back or a way to avoid doing what is essential to the attainment of your goals. The problem is that commitment is not something that we can manufacture – it is something that we discover deep down within us. I must admit that I was a procrastinator before I developed the habit of putting my goals down on paper and keeping a goal journal. And to be honest, if there is one habit that’s changed my life so much over the years is simply the habit of having written goals . I can’t list all the benefits here, but one thing I can tell you is that by writing each goal down on paper (in a goal journal), deve...

Each one of us has an internal dialogue, an inner conversation going on with ourselves. In fact, we talk more to ourselves than we do to anybody else.  The problem is that this conversation is often negative and it can reduce our desire to do anything.  Furthermore, it is easy to focus on the reasons why we can't do, have, buy, achieve, and become what we want (in every area of our lives) instead of giving ourselves all the reasons why we can do what they want. For instance, consider someone whose goal is to lose weight and get back in shape. Instead of giving themselves reasons why they can lose weight and get back in shape, they start to give themselves reasons why they can't achieve their goal. Things like: ·       I'm not that disciplined ·       I lack the determination ·       I love food; I just can't resist it - I’m a good cook you know. ·    ...

Motivational tips vary in their effectiveness depending on your mood and current state of mind. That's why a tip that worked for you yesterday may not be as effective today. Therefore, be willing to try something new if you feel uninspired by some suggestions. There are many more ways to motivate yourself than I could possibly list, but the following should get your creative juices flowing: 1. Make a to-do list If your tasks seem too many and overwhelming you should make a detailed list of everything you want to accomplish today (keep in mind that you have to plan the next day the night before). Ideally, what you write on this list should take you one step closer to each (high priority) goal in your goal journal. (Remember, having written goals help you to prioritize your work, set deadlines, and monitor your progress). 2. Pray Worry never fixes anything and it is a bad habit we have to break. The problem is that we easily get into the habit of ne...
