If you haven’t yet been through the process of setting goals for your life, you are simply a spectator watching your life unfold before you with no say whatsoever in what its going to look like. You are a victim rather than a creator. Harsh words I know but unless you take an active interest in what your life looks like, no-one will! If you have goals in your life but aren’t moving forward, here is a simple technique to get you moving.
1. Write down your goals. This may sound simple but the difference between writing goals down and just having them in your head is immense.
2. Put a time limit on them. I think it was Napoleon Hill who said a goal without a deadline is just a dream, or something along those lines. Anyway, he was right.
3. Pick your top 6-8 goals. Decide which ones are your most important or will have the most impact on your life.
4. Make sure these goals are what you want NOW and not something you’re hoping for way off in the future.
5. Underline the top 2 or 3 goals.
6. DO SOMETHING DAILY ON THESE TOP 2-3 GOALS! This might sound a bit extreme but the thing that generally gets in the way of moving forward is good old fashioned lack of action. As George mentions in his blog post this month, the Universe rewards persistent consistency (I sound like a stuck record here but its true). If you moved forward, even a tiny bit, every day, you will inevitably reach your goal. If you aren’t prepared to find some daily activity that you could do for these goals then they are the wrong goals or you’re blocking having these outcomes.
7. Underline the next 2 or 3 goals.
8. DO SOMETHING WEEKLY ON THESE GOALS!
9. Review your progress in 1 month’s time. This timescale can of course be changed depending on how big the goal is but seriously, do you expect instantaneous results? For some goals this is realistic but for most of the goals that really mean something in our lives, instantaneous results aren’t realistic. It’s a systematic approach that will get you where you need to be. Stick with it and keep focused….daily.
