Are You Working Towards Success?
To some people it means driving a flash car and flashing wadsof cash around to show they are doing well.To others it is spending time with their family, havingachieved happiness in their life. Your personal idea of success, and being successful will differ from someone else's, but is very important to you.Without spending some time thinking about your success, how will you know if you are achieving it?Take some time now and think about it. Now start working towards it, and set goals to make yousuccessful. Goal setting is important to your success, so you betterdo it right too. Here are some important things to rememberabout goal setting 1. break your main goal (success) into smaller ones These small steps towards an ultimate goal are in somecircles known as "eating the elephant" because youcouldn't eat the whole elephant in one go, but cutting itinto bite sized chunks makes it possible to achievea seemingly impossible task. 2. Don't set unachievable goals- when you don't hit themthey will be a major setback. You wouldn't decide to climb mount Everest on your firsthill walk or expect to build your own house because you have a new toolkit, so be realistic about your goals here too. 3. Write them down, and make them real, also imagine lifeas it will be when you have achieved each goal. The human mind works on visualization, athletes across the worlduse this technique, seeing themselves in their own minds eyecrossing the finish line first. They imagine how it feels, thesound of the crowds cheering etc. Then the mind can focus on makingit real. 4. If you miss a goal, or deadline, take it as a minor setback not total failure, and try again. The best analogy I've heard for this is of an ocean linercrossing thousands of miles of sea. On its way it may drift offcourse many times, but the captain will make a slight adjustmentto get it on track each time. He knows its not a total failure to be slightly amiss along the way as long as you correct it andend up where you are going. These steps will take you towards your individual success ideal,whatever it may be. You will meet adversity, and failure alongthe way, but take it in your stride.Always keep just your next small goal in mind and eventually you will find you have reached and even surpassed the main goal youhad set, without even noticing it.
