Life Improvement Tips For The Wise Few

I have to go back, and I mean way back for you to understand how to set goals and really complete those goals. Goal setting is the biggest problem many are faced with today. Many of us just don’t understand how to set goals and the best way to make sure you reach any goal you set. I see goal setting as a form of getting what you wish for.

I want to take you back to your childish days, because kids are the best goal setters and they even don’t have a clue that they are doing that. From birth on we were already setting goals and at a certain time in life we all just stop. Some of us, just get back that focus and start going for gold once again, and once we master the process of getting what we want, we continue until we die.

As little babies, we had the first goal of rolling over, once we figured this out, we continued to roll over faster and faster until our parents just didn’t bother to look anymore. They were not excited form seeing us roll over again and again.

Next goal we accomplished was to pull ourselves up. We got stronger and stronger by just pulling ourselves up. Then we started to dabble at the walking stunt, falling, some of us fell on our face, burst our mouth, got knocked down many times. But, we kept going at it until that first step and then we walked across to Mommy or daddy.

Those were the goals we accomplished without even knowing that the were goals. We had a burning desire to get those things done, no one taught us how to do that, but we did it and we did it well.

So why do we stop setting goals?

The answer is really simple, and many of us just don’t understand why. We have lost that drive and the focus we had as toddlers. We have no visual stimulants to keep us going. We are literally killing our own dreams and sabotaging what we desire. Many of our friends and certain family members are keeping us down.

There is enough wealth in the world for all who desire wealth. Read that statement again. I said for all who desire wealth. Many of us don’t visualize what we want and never take any action. We sit and complain and waste energy, instead of just setting simple goals and getting off our “butts” and doing something to accomplish those goals.

The right way to set goals

I am not going to sit here and tell you to close your eyes, meditate, order those expensive goal setting CD’s online or write down those goals you wish to accomplish. I don’t believe in that type of mumbo jumbo bud ha stuff. I have written until my fingers grew numb and never ever got what I wanted. In one sentence: “All that stuff doesn’t work, forget about it.”

The way to go about getting what you want out of life is so easy that many don’t understand the process. You can wish for wealth or a certain amount of money, but if your not in tune with your wishes, then you won’t get a penny.

The way to accomplish your goals is to start small, with small goals, I mean something that is easy to visualize in your mind and easy to accomplish with your mind. If you feel that you can’t accomplish this goal with your mind, then that goal is out of your reach. You have to first set a goal that will be very easy to attain. Now visualize that goal in your mind, and see the exact steps you have to take in your mind at that moment to accomplish your goal. Every night while lying in your bed, you will picture that goal in your mind and assess what you did. Make adjustments if needed.

Once you have set that goal, then from now on we focus on the steps, we start with the steps that we outlined in our mind, and we will stay focused as our life depends on that one goal. We have to dedicate a certain amount of time each day to work on that one goal. We will not focus on any other goals but this one goal.

This should be pretty easy now. Because we have set a time each day to work on our goal and we are now focused on accomplishing this goal.

Don’t let distractions get in the way

The one obstacle that stands in our way is our own determination and the many distractions that we will face. If your half as serious as you were when you first set that goal, then you will have three times the strength you needed when you started. Many people will try to talk you out of it. All doubts and mind chatter will come forward, trying to steer you away from that goal. Yes, your own mind is your biggest enemy.

Your task is to make sure you do something daily which will bring you closer to your goal. Once your momentum kicks in, then I can assure you that even I won’t be able to stop you from getting to your goal.

Accomplishing goals works better when we are babies

I bet you can’t imagine why we were able to accomplish each goal we set out to get, before we could even comprehend the process of goal setting.

Babies and toddlers have the strongest determination that is unmatched by any grown up. The easy way to understand this is by picturing what goes through their mind. They are visualizing exactly what they want. They can’t speak, can barely comprehend, but, no matter how much you tell them to not try and walk, you would not be able to stop them.

The process lies in the fact that they didn’t tell you their plans. You won’t ever see a mother nor anyone as a matter of fact telling a baby that they shouldn’t try to walk. No one is trying to stop nor steal their dream from them.

You have to create the mindset of a toddler and go with such determination towards your goals. Keep it to yourself, and once you start to see progress, set the next goal. Once your focussed, nothing will be able to stop you.

So dig deep down in your soul and bring back the skills you were giving from birth. Set that goal and go for it. Don’t stop until you have accomplished that goal. I believe you can do it. Start believing in yourself.
