Parramount Importance Right Now

Did you notice how trivial things clamour for your attention while the worthwhile things get pushed behind?

It takes personal discipline to take charge of your life - the penalty for failing to do so is frustration. Frustration then leads to depression when you eventually give-up on reaching your goals altogether. Further on, depression brings addiction when you are desperately looking for ways to relieve the mental pain you're going through.

Enough negatives. What's the right way then? Breaking down your main goals into achievable milestones. Don't you get a kick when at the end of the day you can pat yourself on the back as you tick items off your list?

It is improbable you will commit to a major goal if you haven't had the taste the success of achieving a more manageable task beforehand. So here is the vicious cycle : no prior achievement means no energy to go to the next step. We are all creatures of habit. If you see something happening in your life time and time again - you grow to expect it. It works just the same for good or bad things.

How can a goal setting system help? You are kept on track - that's what! We are our greatest enemy and it is so easy to deceive ourselves. Ultimately you will not grow beyond your own expectation. Self-image is the key. There is a fine balance between being proud and being beaten and depressed. It is not a single occurrence either. It is something you must do regularly.

Who needs a goal setting system? Every procrastinator is a candidate! Some people claim they've got it all in their head... When they say it with all onesty they simply mean that they take charge of their immediate future and deal with each problem as it comes.

Setting goals is most useful for things that are beyond our mental horizon. You are making a deal with yourself to cause the immovable to move. The commitment you've made to see things change will cause you to muse about devices that will overcome your obstacles.

Modern management techniques are all about divide and conquer. Everybody can eat an elephant if you proceed to do it one spoonful at a time. But people will fall by the wayside if they don't see tangible results within their expectation. They are things in life beyond your visible outlook that need to be dealt with in order to succeed. It takes 9 months for a baby to be formed in the womb. Some people don't have a clue what they'll be doing 9 months
from now. If you fail to plan you are in fact planning to fail. You'll be pushed around by what catches your attention at the time.

So do yourself a favour. Don't assume it's all in your head. Write it down on paper. Or even better keep a journal of what you want to achieve. Each day jot down each step you've taken to nibble at the mountain. When you look back at that journal a year from now you'll be surprised at how much you've travelled from that courageous start.
