Goal is Reached - What Next Steps Are Required?
One of the most common questions I receive from athletes and sports enthusiasts is "So what is your next goal?" The simple answer is "To achieve my goal." However, there is more to achieving your goal than simply "getting there." In fact, to reach your goal means becoming stronger and more capable in every facet of your life.
There are countless obstacles you will face in your journey. However, you can overcome them by becoming stronger and more capable. What is your next step? The first one is to take one small step at a time. A step may be as minor as choosing to eat healthier or deciding to walk a little farther. Once you are on your way, continue on by conquering each small hurdle along the way.
For some, one of the hardest parts of reaching their goal is when they fail. If you have failed, don't let it rule over you. Keep going and don't let your failure discourage you. Keep reminding yourself that you can do it.
It is also important to understand that sometimes things will just not go your way no matter how hard you work or how much time you invest in your goal. Sometimes, your success is only a matter of luck. When this happens, don't get discouraged or start giving up. Realize that you can still attain your goal with persistence and a positive attitude.
No matter how big or small your goal is, it is still a massive goal. If you set out to lose 20 pounds, you have just started. The road to losing weight and reaching your goal may take weeks, months, or even years. Therefore, don't get frustrated if you don't see immediate results.
To be successful, it is important to focus on the now. One way to accomplish this is to write your goals down on paper. In fact, writing them down is encouraged so you will have a record of them. This will also help you keep focused and remember what it is that you want to achieve. Additionally, when you check your goals off your list, it will provide you with a sense of accomplishment.
Finally, if you know that something is going to stand in your way to reaching your goal, you should prepare for it ahead of time. For example, if you know that a major event is coming up within a few weeks, you should be mentally prepared for it. You should have a game plan for this situation, so you are not blindsided by it. By preparing for obstacles, you increase your chances of reaching your goal and defeat your obstacle.
By putting these three techniques into practice, you will notice a great deal of improvement in your goal-setting, your plans, and your preparations. One goal may be closer than you think because it is hit or miss. However, if you put these techniques into practice each day, you will find that the closer the goal is to you, the more likely it is to be reached. Therefore, the ultimate goal is reached when all three of these elements are in place: you have a plan, you have a goal, and you have prepared for your obstacles. By doing so, reaching your goal is a very simple process.
The first step in developing a plan for attaining your goal is assessing the current circumstances. In other words, you need to ask yourself, "What is happening right now?" This assessment allows you to quickly identify which steps are necessary in order to move forward. By paying attention to your situation, you will learn what has caused it, whether it is poor finances, negative health indicators, family issues, etc. In this way, you can develop an action plan that will address the issues that have arisen.
The second step in achieving your goal is to assess the effectiveness of your plan. If an obstacle is standing in your way, this assessment will help you determine if you need to revise your goal, reword your plan, or make changes that will make your goal more effective and easier to reach. Once you know that one of these steps is ineffective, you can easily eliminate it from your list or put another one in its place.
Finally, once you know what your plan is, the next step is to determine how you will measure your success. If you have an ultimate goal in mind, you can use a universal measuring tool such as the Fibonacci formula or the Rule of Thumb. However, if you are only trying to reach your personal goal, you can use simple methods such as the ladder method or the log method. Regardless of which method you use, you should always include a deadline with reaching your goal so that you will be motivated to continue with your efforts.
