Go for your Goals

Make this year, the year you go for your goals. Make it a year in which you start living instead of just existing. Don’t merely go through the motions of life but live it to the fullest.

You are the creator of your own destiny. No one has to live in mediocrity. We all are entitled to the best life there is. Setting clear and definite goals is of significant importance. It is where you start to create the life that you want. If you don’t know your aim then you don’t know where you want to be and you will stay where you are. You must have a purpose if you want to advance in life. You should know what you want to accomplish.

The person who never wants anything gets very little. If you want a great deal then you must demand a great deal. You must demand from the universe what you desire however your intentions must be good. You should not want something which belongs to another. There is enough to go around for every one.

Don’t set goals just for the sake of it. Go for your truest desires. What do you desire the most? It is something that gives you joy. It is something that you want. Don’t set out to do something just because somebody else is doing it. Your success in achieving your aim depends upon your burning desire for it.

When you desire something earnestly you generate enough attractive force to get it. You must be in love with the thing you want. If you wish for something in a half hearted way the chances are that you probably won’t get it. Your goal should be close to your heart. When this happens your will power is automatically activated. The strong will melts away the obstacles in your way.

If you are not sure about what it is that you would like to achieve then take a piece of paper and write down what you think your goals should be. Read that list a couple of times. Take your time when you go over your goals one by one. Sleep over it. Next day again read your list. You will notice that you are particularly attracted to one or more of these goals. You get enthusiastic when you think about them and maybe even a bit scared. These are the ones you should go for.

There is in you a goal, a purpose that you are meant to achieve and a destiny that you need to fulfill. It is your own desire not somebody else’s. It is something that will provide meaning to your life and will benefit others too.

It matter not how big or small your goal is or if it seems impossible to others, if you believe in it and never give up then you will surely accomplish it. You cannot achieve your dreams without persistence. Heisman trophy winner Herschel Walker said, "My God-given talent is my ability to stick with something longer than anyone else."

Never ever quit! Take it out of your vocabulary. You cannot win if you don’t finish the race. In the words of Napoleon hill, the author of think and grow rich , “A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.”Set one aim at a time and concentrate on achieving it. Make it a habit of visualizing your success in your free time. Feel the excitement and joy of it. This will strengthen your desire. As I said before a strong desire is the driving force behind the action that you must take to manifest your dream. Also visualization or imagination sets the law of attraction to work in your favour to bring to you things, situations and people to assist you in your journey towards what you want to achieve.The problem with most of us today is that we are losing our individuality . We would rather be somebody else then our own true selves. We want to wear what others are wearing, eat what others are eating, and live like others are living. We don’t think for ourselves. Only few of us allow our higher self to shine. Don’t exist as a herd like creature. People are very much like sheep in this way, they are imitative. You should take the responsibility of directing your own self. Don’t wait for somebody else to lead you through life.

Your goals should reflect who you are rather the how your neighbor or friend or a celebrity is. This goes for not only your career but also for goals in other areas of your life, for example your physical appearance. I am addressing women here. You don’t have to be a size zero to look attractive. It really amazes me that there is such a size. It concerns me when a young girl who is a healthy size eight or ten thinks that she is fat. Your aim should be to be healthy and wholesome not painfully thin. Your ideal weight depends upon your age, bone structure and height.

You are who you are. You don’t have to look or be like everyone else. Make goals that give you joy and a sense of enthusiasm. If your aim is particularly big like writing a book then divide it in to parts and assign a time limit for each part. For example decide on the number of chapters you plan to finish in a month. Stick to your schedule however Make sure that you are realistic in your expectations. When you accomplish your goal or a part of it, encourage and reward yourself. Sometimes we are too hard on our selves. We have a tendency to be overly critical about our progress and what we have achieved. Be kind and loving to yourself like you are to your best friend.

When you accomplish what you set out to do then think about something else that you want to accomplish. Our aim in life is to evolve, advance and move forward with a purpose. If you want an abundant life then don’t think how little you can do but how much you can do.
