There is a powerful seven step formula that you can use to set andachieve your goals for the rest of your life. Every successfulperson uses this formula or some variation of it to achievevastly more than the average person. And so can you. Here it is:Decide What You WantStep number one, decide exactly what it is you want in each part of yourlife. Become a "meaningful specific" rather than a "wanderinggenerality." If you don’t know where you’re going, you might get there. And that’s unfortunate.
Connect with your inner mission. God put you here for a purpose. We all have special ways we can contribute to make the world better, more spiritual. Pray and search and ask, “What is my unique contribution? “Write It DownSecond, write it down, clearly and in detail. Always think on paper. Agoal that is not in writing is not a goal at all. It is merely a wishand it has no energy behind it. Sound strange? It’s absolutely true.
Next, take it one stage further. Form your goals into prayers. Now it’s not just about you; it’s about you and God. Set A DeadlineThird, set a deadline for your goal. A deadline acts as a "forcingsystem" in your subconscious mind. It motivates you to do the thingsnecessary to make your goal come true. If it is a big enough goal, setsub-deadlines as well. Don't leave this to chance.
Make A ListFourth, make a list of everything that you can think of that you aregoing to have to do to achieve your goal. When you think of new tasksand activities, write them on your list until your list is complete.
Most of us do this anyway. Just do it for your new goals also. Make your new goals a part of your life, not just a wish. Make it happen. If you don’t, no one else will. Organize Your ListFifth, organize your list into a plan. Decide what you will have to dofirst and what you will have to do second. Decide what is more importantand what is less important. And then write out your plan on paper, thesame way you would develop a blueprint to build your house.Take ActionThe sixth step is for you to take action on your plan. Do something. Doanything. But get busy. Get going.Do something every single day that moves you in the direction of yourmost important goal at the moment. Develop the discipline of doingsomething 365 days each year that is moving you forward. You will beabsolutely astonished at how much you accomplish when you utilize thisformula in your life every single day.Most people don’t work on their goals because they seem so big, distant, or difficult to achieve. Forget all that. Just take little steps. Ask yourself at the end of the day, “Did I do anything to get closer to my goals?” If not, do some little thing. Even just tell somebody your goal and that you are going to do it. Doing something builds momentum.
You need to fight the inertia that is holding you back.
Action PlanFirst, decide exactly what you want, write it down with a deadline, makea plan and take action - on at least one goal - today!Second, determine the price you will have to pay to achieve this goaland then get busy paying that price - whatever it is.
The only other alternative to this is to keep you goal in your head and just to wish you reach your goal without doing anything. And of course you could also go around and tell people why you can’t reach it. That might make you feel better for awhile. But I don’t think you don’t want to go to the grave with your life mission still in your head.
And let me ask you a question. What story are you going to tell yourself if you don’t follow through? I bet that story comes up a lot, doesn’t it. Want some good advice? Throw that story as far away as you can. The sooner you do, the sooner things will happen.
