Does this happen to you too? Setting very nice goals writing them and failing to implement and achieve them at the end of the day? I personally suffered a lot from this challenge in my life until I came to discover that for me to implement and achieve my goals I need to have a good and easy to go plan to reach my goals.
Most of us forget this!
Most of us set goals and forget an
important part which is making a plan to achieve such goals. A plan to achieve
your good goals refers to important steps you are going to take in order to get
what you want in life. For instance if your goal is to loose weight in the
coming 6 months then you shouldn’t end up to such a goal, what you are supposed
to do is planning and making a strategy on what you are going to do so as to
loose such a weight in the coming six months.
A plan can be to do a 30 minutes
special body exercises which can help you reduce weight every day, stop eating
too much oily foods from now onwards, attending classes for weight loosing
training ones a week, practicing diet according to specialist consultation from
now onwards etc. living through this plan can assure you achieving your good
goal, out of that it is not possible to even start moving towards your goal;
you must make a plan.
Some of us ends up here…
Some of us ends up having a dream but
for you to achieve your dream you need to set goals because setting goals is
like breaking down your dream into small pieces which can be easy to handle but
at the end of the day it is also difficult to achieve these goals if you do not
have a plan to do so. If you have goals try to ask yourself on which steps you
are going to take so as to reach them or what you should do every day to reach
such goals and that will be your plan.
In 3 months I achieved a goal set two years back
For a very long time I had a dream of
writing a personal development book and it took years without being written
then I decided to set a goal to reach this dream, my goal was to write a Swahili
version book by December last year 2012 and again I didn’t achieve it, this
year I decided to think beyond that goal and decided to make a plan of waking
up at 4 AM every day and write 3 to 4 pages or one chapter before going to
work, another plan was to set an alarm to wake me up 15 minutes before 4am so
that I can use this 15 minutes to wake up from my bed and start writing.
After making this plan I started
living it and in the next 3 months a book of 150 pages was over. From there I drew
a lesson that for anybody to achieve his/ her good goals he/she must make a
good plan on how she/he is going to reach such goals.
Have you set a plan to achieve your goals?
If not this is your time, think the
steps you are going to take to reach your good goals and put them into action
or start living them today with great discipline then I am assuring you that
you are going to achieve your goals in your time bound.
One thing you must remember is that
achieving your good goals is not an overnight deal, you must make a plan to
start small and slowly you are going to finish the whole thing. Your speed to
it matters a lot to reach there faster so keep on working hard and never waste
your time by focusing and concentrating in to irrelevant activities instead
make sure that everything you do every day contributes to the development of
your goals and vision; i.e. it relates to your goals in different ways then you
are sure of achieving your goals and dreams.
Good luck!
