How To Reach Any Goal In The Quickest Way Possible…
In order to reach your goals you need to get rid of the three obstacles first. Those are perfectionism, procrastination and inaction.
Each one of these leads to the other. Trying to become perfect leads you to procrastinating, procrastination in turn leads to lack of action. And when you don’t act you stay still, you stay where you are. The longer you stay where you are, the more difficult it becomes to start moving again.
Stop trying to become perfect. You never will be. You will never learn everything and never prepare enough. You just need to start acting on your goals and figure out later on how to become better.
Perfectionism has killed many a great aspiration, and so many great dreams. You need to start acting on your dreams now. As soon as you get rid of the desire to become perfect, the sooner you will reach your goals.
Once you do that you need to come up with a long term vision.
Where do you see yourself five years from now? What are your long term goals? Write out that vision in great detail. Who you are, what you do, where you live five years from now.
Out of your long term goals come up with your short term goals. What do you need to do in the next 3-6 months in order to get closer to your long term goals.
Then come up with tasks. Tasks are your daily and weekly targets. Things you need to do everyday in order to reach your 3-6 months goals and get closer to your long term goals.
You see how you start backwards? Start with your long term vision, everything else will fall into place.
Always focus on your long term vision, your end result. Even if you don’t know yet how to get there. Focus on it as much as possible throughout the day. Then listen to yourself, listen to your inner intelligence. It will start generating plans for you on how to get to your end result. Write down those plans as your short term goals and daily plans.
Most importantly, start acting upon those plans immediately. Commit to doing at least one thing a day that will bring you closer to your dreams.
Chinese proverb says “A journey of a thousand miles starts with one single step” . You need to start now. You never know what door will open next. If you sit there and wait for a perfect opportunity it will never come. Don’t wait--start going. And always keep an eye on your long term goals. Everything else will fall into place.
