How to Achieve your Goals

Goal setting is an excellent practice that can lead you to a higher level of achievement. Goals create a clear and tangible desire that one can work towards. But there is a severe problem that occurs with goals.

Have you ever set a goal and failed miserably to reach it, even though you did everything you possibly could to reach it?

I am about to tell you exactly why you failed, and how you can prevent this from happening in the future.

Big goals don't happen overnight (usually), but too many people try to rush towards their goals, and when it doesn't occur immediately they get frustrated and give up. There is a surefire way to avoid this.

All you have to do is be GRATEFUL for the small steps you take toward your goal. Lets say your goal is to lose fifty pounds, and you have already lost a pound. Instead of focusing on the 49 pounds you have left to go, you must be grateful that you have lost a single pound. Being grateful for anything will bring more of what you are grateful for into your life.

Keep a journal of your specific goals, and below them right down the things that you have done to achieve them and what small achievements you have made. Focus on these small achievements in relation to the larger goal, and be grateful for them. There is no way that this method will fail. If you use it, you will achieve any goal you set out to reach.
