6 Steps To Achieving Your Goals In 2009

A person without goals is like a ship with no rudder – Earl Nightingale

You have the right to pursue any worthy ideal. You can through your choices achieve any goal you want to; your only limit is your imagination. How do you REALLY want to live your life?

It is essential that we set goals, our ambitions will never happen by accident! If we don’t decide where we are going, we substitute our hopes and dreams for a less desirable outcome.

What do you really want this year? Do you believe you can do it? How much effort and sacrifice are you prepared to put in to achieve your goals?

1. DECIDE - Decide what it is you really want, what are your priorities? Tune into your inner compass! Which direction do you want to go?

2. IMAGINE - Feel and imagine what it would be like to achieve your goals. Would all the blood, sweat and tears be worthwhile in the end?

3. BELIEVE – Truly believe that the realisation of your goals are possible

4. PLAN - Make specific plans as to the attainment of your goals

5. ACTION - Put your plan into action! (Quite possibly the most important step and hardest to do)

6. PERSEVERE - Persist with your goals

Steps 3 and 5 can be stumbling blocks. Take time to increase your faith, believe that the goals you set yourself are within your ability to achieve. Then last of all make sure you actually follow through on your plans. Don’t give up at the first signs of failure or struggle.

Get a piece of paper and pen or open a word document. Put these 5 headings:

Relationships and family
Personal
Spiritual
Physical
Financial

Make a few specific goals for each area of your life; if you follow through on your plans and hit your targets then come 2010 you will have grown in self confidence and belief, faith, become better at making real decisions and ready to make your next set of goals.
