Success is something we all want in life. From the time we enter young adulthood, we always want to be successful in life, whether it be in our study, career, financial situation, or relationships. Success cannot be achieved, however, by simply wishing it! The first step to success is to set out the goals you want to achieve. But setting a goal and achieving it are two completely different things. To achieve a goal which you have set you need to (1) know exactly what it is that you want to achieve, (2) invest yourself emotionally in your goal, and (3) have a set modus operandi for achieving your goal. These are the three keys to setting goals which you will actually achieve, and this is what sets your goal apart from fluff-filled fantasies which may not come true. Below are 5 methods which have been proved over time to help get you over the crossing line to achieve your goals!
1. Know exactly what your goal is. What is it exactly that you want to achieve? What exactly is that goal like? What do you want to have in your life when you achieve that goal? It is advisable to be clear about your goals because this is what separates fact from fluff.
If your goal is to get better grades at school, what will that look like when you achieve it? Are you ultimately trying to get into a specific college? Are you looking for a very specific career? Or can your goal be better expressed in terms of the way your life will be if you get those grades? Regardless of what you want, the best way to get it is to first clarify exactly what you want in as much detail as possible. This can be hard work - but without a clear mental picture you'll never have the focus required to achieve your goal.
2. Be willing to pay the "entry fee". Success takes dedicated planning and effort. In a way it's like building a house. In the beginning all you have is a rough concept. Then you develop a complete set of plans - and you immediately move closer to success. The same is true of creating a better lifestyle, or to get better grades. But there's always an "entry fee" to be paid for success.
Creating more study success may mean less recreational time. Getting an A+ in Maths may require you to watch less TV. It's the "full glass" theory. If your life (and your time) is already full to the top, there's no room for something new. The entry fee is carving out the time to create that amazing thing for yourself.
3. Focus on your goal every day. I'm sure you probably want to achieve your goal as fast as possible. That's why clear mental focus is so very important. Consistent daily focus is absolutely necessary to "burn in" the new neural pathways you need to create your new goal. Without daily focus, the old mental habits that have kept you from your goal will continue to take over. This happens automatically - since these old habits replay 24/7 deep in your subconscious mind. The only way to override subconscious anti-success messages is to consciously focus on what you do want - and build new neural networks! That's why success is an every-day event.
It's understandable that in the daily grind of life, our goals can sometimes take a back seat. But in order to truly achieve a goal, you must make a conscious effort for life to not get in the way! Always prioritize your goals and your success!
4. Get passionate. Whatever it is you want to achieve success in, feel passion for it. This is a powerful tool to have in the "success tool box". Having an intense passion for your goal will sharpen your mental focus and build those mental bridges for positive thinking towards achieving your goal. This method has been proven scientifically over the years! Intense passion for your goal also drives away the limiting beliefs you have in your subconscious brain - thoughts that you cannot achieve your goal or that you don't have the means to achieve it.
5. Take consistent action. In many ways, actually taking action can be the most difficult step. Successful goal achievement is built by taking one small action after another. So the word of today is action! If you commit to take at least one small action each day, your actions will add up and make a difference. So avoid sitting back waiting for that time when everything will just "magically happen."
You can create whatever you want in life. The secret is to determine exactly what you want, then pursue it passionately. But remember - in the end, only action counts! You can't just dream about it! You have to do it!
