How to achieve your goals in life
I hope you have seen someone set a goal and achieve it,
right? While you have seen such people do so
successfully, do you know that at the same time there
are people who never managed to achieve their goals in
life?
They only managed to go beyond the first stage (setting
the goal) and never go above the second stage
(achievement). At least if this has never happen to you,
but you have seen someone like that, right? But why
would someone know what he wants in life and fails to
get it? There are many reasons behind this failure of
goals achievement which am going to explain.
Why do some people failed to achieve their goals in life?
Do you know that our habits, how we perceive things
and our ambitious level affect the kind of goals we set
for ourselves? For example, one of the reasons people
never managed to arrive at their goals is due to their
high ambitious level that leads them in setting difficult
and unattainable goals for themselves.
In one of my articles, 'why life is unfair?', I explained
that we only see life to be unfair when we failed to get
what we need in life or that we restrict ourselves with
high and unreachable plans. Imagine someone setting a
goal to be successful in life without caring to know how
the path to success looks like or a student hoping to
come first in a test without having the zeal to study.
Those are some of the examples of unattainable goals.
Goals you set only in the mind but in real world you
don’t behave as if you need them.
Another reason could be how people go about
managing their time and plans. They only set goals and
wait for it to manifest its self. In one of my articles, ' how
to make use of your time', I explain the importance of
setting goals and scheduling yourself. I said setting
goals without scheduling your time for that particular
goal still boils down to failure and that’s just how some
people failed.
How to achieve your goals in life
In order to achieve your goals in life, you must first set
the goals and the next thing will be to make sure it can
be reachable. There’re many ways in which you can
know if your goals will be reachable.
You can still do this by looking around to see if there is
anyone who already managed set that kind of goals and
achieve it. Once you see one, that is already proof that if
you do your best your goals will be reachable as well.
That is the method I always used in school. Whenever
they give a test and I failed, I asked myself why did the
others make it and I failed? It means the test was easy
and I never worked enough. I convinced myself that if
others can make it then it is simple and the next time, I
made it just like them.
Follow the examples of others
There are many goals in life which require different
methods or ways to achieving them. If you set a goal
and finds it difficult, don’t give up. What you’re trying
to do, others have been doing it and they succeed
without having to give up. If a goal appears to be
difficult, copy the examples of others in the field, start
thinking and behaving like them.
For example, let’s say you’ve set a goal to become rich
and you’re not seeing any success in that direction,
then following the steps of such people will lead you in
becoming like them someday.
Another step towards this is by scheduling yourself. Just
as you schedule your doctor, work, rest, eating etc.,
schedule time for your goal. If you believe it’s
important, then, during this period, don’t be distracted
by any way even if it means switching off your phone or
seeing a friend. Just imagine how your life will be like
after 5years of achieving the goal.
