Warm greetings to all my supporters on STEEMiT, I personally appreciate your efforts and support in my work through your upvotes and comments, let it be like an investment, l owe you everything.
Today,I want us to look at something we haven't really given our attention to lately.
Do you know its one thing to have a dream and another to make it a reality?
Do you know its not all about setting your goals alone but how to successfully achieve them matters?
Sit back,relax and enjoy this informative ride.
To start with,if you are a good dreamer,its time to refine your dreams into goals,because it is goals you can effective pursue and capture not dreams,you can only keep dreaming.
These are a few steps on how you can achieve your goals and make it happen:
•Express Your Goal
You have to express your goal in a concised and specified characteristics,be it events or behavior.
For a dream to become a goal, it has to be specifically defined in terms of operations, meaning what will be done. When a goal is broken down into steps, it can be managed and pursued much more directly. “Being happy,” for example, is neither an event nor a behavior. When you set out to identify a goal, define what you want in clear and specific terms.
•Outline Your Goals In Measurable Terms
How else will you be able to determine your level of progress, or even know when you have successfully arrived where you want to be if you don't try to measure your level of achievement. For instance if you want to have more money,first know how much you have and contrast it with how much you want to have. This is what l call success formula
•Assign A Timeline To Your Goal
Time waits for no one so instead of waiting for time,do what it does "keep going"
Time is one thing you will never have enough. And the difference between a dream and a goal is the timeline.
Once you have determined precisely what it is you want, you must decide on a time frame for having it. The deadline you’ve created fosters a sense of urgency or purpose, which in turn will serve as an important motivator, and prevent inertia or procrastination.
•Choose A Goal You Can Control
Unlike dreams, which allow you to fantasize about events over which you have no control, goals have to do with aspects of your existence that you control and can therefore manipulate. In identifying your goal, strive for what you can create, not for what you can’t. Do your best and with a specific time target.
•Plan A Strategy That Will Steer You To Your Goal
Pursuing a goal seriously requires that you realistically assess the obstacles and resources involved, and that you create a strategy for navigating that reality. Willpower is unreliable,Your environment, your schedule and your accountability must be programmed in such a way that all three support you — long after an emotional high is gone. Life is full of temptations and opportunities to fail. Those temptations and opportunities compete with your more constructive and task-oriented behavior. Without programming, you will find it much harder to stay the course.
•Set The Right Steps
Major changes of life don’t just occur, they happen one step at a time. Steady progress, through well-chosen, realistic, interval steps, produces results in the end. Know what those steps are before you set out and attaining your goal will be more easy.
•Make Accountability Your Friend
Without accountability,you are hoping against hope. Find someone in your circle of family or friends to whom you can be accountable. Make periodic reports on your progress. We all respond better if we know that somebody is checking up on us and that there are consequences for our failure to perform.
I hope this has "in a couple of ways been able to avail you with the right knowledge to enable you make anything positive in your life happen.
