HOW DO PEOPLE SUCCEED AT THEIR GOALS?

I spoke to quite a few people this weekend and a common theme came up.   A  lot of people all had the same concern that they didn't feel they would succeed in their goal.  They couldn't feel themselves at the goal or weren't able to visualize the end goal.  

This something I struggled with many times.   Hitting a goal isn't as easy as just thinking about it and you will hit that goal.  Most people have a goal in mind but have no idea what needs to be done to get there.  So how do you hit a goal?

Doing the thing that brings you closer to your goal everyday is key.  Whether your goal is to loose weight or learning at new language the need for activity is all the same.  If you are loosing weight  or learning a new language then you need to be consistently following the plan that is set up for you. Do the activity that you know you need to do.  Each day you do what you need to do for that day so you are creating a habit.  Consistency is your secret to success.  Once you have created that consistency you are well on your way to hitting your goal. 

Yes that is all easier said than done.   So how do you do it?  Consistency is all about the baby steps.  It's like Lego.  You start with one block and add to it.   It can be very simple what you do each day but it is all about the consistency of doing that one simple things.   You are building good habits each time you successfully do what you have set out for that day.  There is going to be days that you fall off the wagon and completely screw up your habits you have been forming.  Oh well it happens just remember that it happens to everyone and the ones who are going to make it don't beat themselves up over it.  They do however jump right back in and get back on track!

You have to stay committed to the goal you have set.  Only you will know if you are committed.  Being committed is easy if we go back to consistency.  When you are consistent with your daily activity (whatever that may be), it's super easy to stay committed.  

Now there is going to be many successes and many failures on your way to your goal so it's not going to be very easy.  To make it in the long run you need to be taking responsibility for your success as well as your failure.  A lot of people can take responsibility of their successes but try to hid failures under the table and hit them.  Failures are just as important as our successes.  Too many people have the perception that failure is bad.  Failure isn't bad, it's a learning tool.  The most successful people in any industry have failed many many times but what is important is they learnt from their failures.  Ask yourself after every failure "What do I do next time so I don't get that some result?".  Make sure if you are one of the people that associated failures with yourself that you GET RID OF THAT THOUGHT! Failure is not about you but it is about the process.   The good thing is processes can always be adjusted and tweaked to hit success.

MOST OF ALL.....NEVER QUIT ON YOUR DREAMS!!!!
