We all like to dream, I am sure it is not the first time that you look out the window or close your eyes and start dreaming about your future. Perhaps you think of the things that you would like to experience one day. But all those wishes can come true if you know how to choose the right goals, one after the other until you reach each of your goals.
Dreams do not have to remain only dreams, they can come true ... but you must really want them to come true. If you have dreams you will fight to get them and the path that you have to pass will be a path where you will enjoy every minute. You will feel happiness and you will also be able to reach your goals. But to achieve all this you need to learn to set goals, which are simple ... but effective.
Follow some guidelines
If you want to set goals, you should use some guidelines to remember how to approach them and how to make them right for you. To focus on your goals that are simple but at the same time feasible and achievable, you should take into account the following points:
- Be specific. You will have to make sure that your objectives are not castles in the air. You should have concrete ideas of what you want to do and exactly where you want to go. Goals must have a concrete direction to be able to fulfill them.
- Measure goals. Just as important is being specific about your goals as learning how to measure them so that you know if you are making progress or if something needs to be improved in order to continue and successfully get to where you want to go. Also, when you start taking small steps you can also give yourself small rewards.
- Do not set goals if you have not reached the first ones. In order to be consistent and consistent with your goals, you must go in order. First you must achieve the first goals and little by little start putting on new ones. If you set too many goals that are difficult to achieve, you will only get frustrated and think that you are not capable when you are very capable of achieving everything you set your mind to.
- Achievable goals. You also need to make sure that your goals are real and that you can achieve them. Think about whether what you want is really what you want and that you can achieve it. But remember: "wanting is power."
- Set deadlines. It's important to set short-term deadlines on small goals so that you can set a bigger, long-term goal. If you do not set deadlines, it is likely that you will end up suffering the well-known 'tomorrow syndrome' and begin to postpone the important things. But there will come a day when you run out of tomorrows and you will only have regrets for not having done things differently when you could have done it.
Worry about your goals
You have to make sure that your goals really matter to you and that you want to achieve them (really). There are many ways to find out if the goals you really have in mind are the ones that really matter to you (or not). Know if those goals are important to you or if you think they are important because society makes you believe that they are. Don't get motivated by a "should get" and think that a goal will only be real if you really want to achieve it. Think about that goal, and then see if you think of it as something you "should" do or something you "want" to do. In this way you can ensure that you really feel involved and that you will not suffer any existential crisis because you really want to achieve it and you will find a way to achieve it.
Write your goals
Writing down your goals can help you tremendously. By writing it you will feel as if you are committing to them and you will connect emotionally to each of your goals, making them more likely to be achieved. Also, If you write them, you will not forget them and you will be able to add more achievable and concrete objectives if necessary.
Also, if you show your goals to someone you trust, you can motivate yourself and make things go better. Your dignity, your personal judgment and your motivation will be compromised with your written goals and by saying them aloud you will also be able to visualize them more easily, something that will undoubtedly help you to take the first steps.
