Success is progressive realisation of worthwhile idea. ~Earl Nightingale

You remember when you promised yourself that you will start exercising and getting in shape but then kept procrastinating until now when you look in the mirror and wish you had started earlier, or that time you had this good idea you but didnt work on well its time to take action.

Well you gotta start somewhere right?

It all starts with the action plan (setting goals ofcourse). It sucks making the same New year resolution every year, it can get frustrating at times i can say. Lucky for you i have just what you are looking for to get you out of that loop and straight through the sky into the stratosphere of your dreams. Read on and see.

3 things to know about setting goals effectively and achieving them like a pro.

#1 Write them down.

This is the first and most important thing to do. Write down all the goals you want to achieve. Dont try to achieve all of them at once (impossible mission if you ask me). Try to write down achievable and realistic goals and not fantasies. Pick out the major ones and start working on achieving those.
This first step helps you to keep track of your progress vis a vis the set goal along the way to completing the set task. Stay optimistic and have the right attitude towards achieving the goals

#2 Don't think about them.

I know some of you are like what??

Because all the ''gurus" are advising you to focus on the goals every other time.
But from my experience this creates alot of pressure so i recommend you #focus on your #behavior towards achieving the goal instead. Why? Well you have control of your behavior but the goal in itself has alot of factors that affect it so it can be hard to control.

This brings us back to focusing on the behavior and realise the goal you will.

Act like the person you want to become and the universe rewards you with the same things that person would receive. ~Anthony Robbins

#3 Set time to achieve them.

The next step is to set the time frame within which to achieve the goal. We all have a limited time to spend on earth and alot to do within that time so respect the time. Now you have to set realistic time limits ofcourse not creating illussions. Worthwhile goals are rarely achieved overnight and neither should the activity lag on and on and on with little or no achievment. Setting the right amount of time is key here guys. This pushes you to beat the "deadline" and gives you the momentum.

Achieve away my fellow Steemians and always stay hungry for success.
