Each January 1st, millions list their New Year\u2019s Resolutions, to eat better, exercise more, drink less, stop smoking, work harder, spend smarter, etc.<\/p>\n
Each February 1st, they\u2019re embarrassed to review their list, for failure to keep true to any.<\/p>\n
The most of them fail from a lack of clear specified goals. Your life only begins to become a great life when you clearly identify what it is that you want, make a plan to achieve it and then work on that plan every single day.<\/p>\n
Only 3% of adults have written goals, and everyone else works for them.<\/p>\n
Goal-Setting Take a clean sheet of paper and write the word \u201cGoals\u201d at the top of the page along with today\u2019s date.<\/p>\n Discipline yourself to write out at least 10 goals that you would like to accomplish in the next year, or in the foreseeable future. Describe your goals in the present tense, as though they had already been achieved. If your goal is to earn a certain amount of money in a certain year, you would say, \u201cI earn this number of dollars by the end of this year.\u201d This activates your subconscious and superconscious minds to change your external reality so it is consistent with your inner commands.<\/p>\n Once you have written out a list of 10 goals, ask yourself this question, \u201cIf I could wave a magic wand and achieve any goal on this list within 24 hours, which one goal would have the greatest positive impact on my life?\u201d<\/p>\n Whatever your answer to that question, put a circle around that goal. Then, transfer the goal to the top of a clean sheet of paper.<\/p>\n 1. Write it down clearly and in detail.<\/p>\n 2. Set a deadline on your goal and set sub deadlines if necessary.<\/p>\n 3. Identify the obstacles that you will have to overcome to achieve your goal, and identify the most important one, internal or external.<\/p>\n 4. Identify the knowledge and skills you will need to achieve your goal, and the most important skill that you will have to become excellent in.<\/p>\n 5. Identify the people whose help and cooperation you will require, and think about what you can do to deserve their help.<\/p>\n 6. Make a list of everything you will have to do to achieve your goal. Add to the list as you think of new things to do.<\/p>\n 7. Organize your list by sequence and priority, by what you have to do first, and by what\u00a0 is most important.<\/p>\n 8. Make a plan by organizing your list into steps from the first to the last, and\u00a0 than resolve to take action on your plan, every single day.<\/p>\n 9. Plan your goal in terms of the activities that you will have to engage in to achieve it, daily, weekly and monthly, in advance.<\/p>\n 10. Set priorities on your list and identify the most important thing that you can do every single day to move most rapidly toward your goal.<\/p>\n 11. Discipline yourself to concentrate single-mindedly on the most important thing that you can do today until it is 100% complete. Practice single-handling with every\u00a0 major task. Each time you persist and overcome the inevitable failures and disappointments you will experience, you become stronger and better.<\/p>\n You develop stronger and deeper character. You increase your self-esteem and self-confidence.

\nBegin each goal with the word \u201cI.\u201d Only you can use the word \u201cI.\u201d Follow the word \u201cI\u201d with an action verb that acts as a command from your conscious mind to your subconscious mind.<\/p>\n
\nIf your goal is to get a new car, you would say, \u201cI drive such and such a new car by such and such a date.\u201d
\nFinally, when you write down your goals, always write them in the positive tense. Instead of saying, \u201cI will quit smoking,\u201d you would say, \u201cI am a non \u2013 smoker.\u201d
\nAlways state your goals as though they were already a reality, as though you had already accomplished them.<\/p>\n
\nConclusion<\/strong>
\nResolve in advance that no matter what happens, you will never give up. Persistence is self-discipline in action.<\/p>\n
\nYour goal is to eventually become \u201cUnstoppable.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
