We all have goals in life. And almost everyone will agree – they aren’t easy to achieve. Many times, it takes a lot of effort and persistence to accomplish our goals but, once we get there, the feeling is so rewarding. It is something you are going to cherish for the rest of your life.
You probably have set some goals for 2015. Some of them are easy to accomplish, some are probably not. And while there is no magic wand that can turn your dreams into reality in a snap, you can certainly take steps to achieve your goals. There is no one-size-fits-all way to achieving your goals. It’s more about finding which one gives you more drive and motivation to succeed.
Start with this: Believe.
All dreams start the moment you believe. If you don’t believe in yourself, you won't believe that you are ever going to succeed. Having faith in yourself is probably one of the most important things you need to do in order to materialise your goals. Believe that you have the capability to do it, that no matter how hard it’s going to be, you are going to survive and be where you want to be. Because if you don’t believe in yourself, who else will?
Don’t be afraid to be afraid.
It is really okay to be afraid. You just have to overcome it. Never let your fears take control of you. Because when you do, it could prevent you from reaching your goals. There is no easy way to a goal. You are bound to fail many times. You will feel tired, bored and hopeless. But you’ve got to keep moving forward. That’s the only way to make your dreams happen.
Break it up.
Many people end up abandoning their goals because they’re so big that they don’t even know where to start. Realising your dreams can be easier when you take baby steps. Select milestones to get there and make each of those a tiny goal.
Be more patient.
Patience is a very rare quality these days, when almost everything we need can be made available in an instant. But lack of patience is one of the biggest threat to achieving your goals. But there’s no easy way to getting to the peak of the mountain. Every goal takes times and hard work. And you must definitely be patient.
Whatever goals you have set for 2015 – whether it’s losing weight and getting healthier, establishing a new business, being more productive or saving more – know that you have the power to make it happen. You just have to start believing in yourself. Believe that you are more than capable of realising your dreams and making them happen. Next, don’t be afraid to stumble and fall, and fail many times. That’s part of the journey. Failures only make success taste sweeter. And to minimise the stress and mistakes, start taking baby steps. Break your goal into smaller goals and have a clear action plan to achieve them. Lastly, and most importantly, be patient. Remind yourself that you are endowed with the abilities to reach your goal and, in the right time, you will surely make it. May your dreams come true this 2015.
