The First 3 Steps To Reach Your Goals

1-   Write out your personal vision statement.

This will sound very easy to some and insurmountable to others.  Some will even want to skip this and not see the monumental value or understand how best to accomplish this.  First, you must decide what it really is that you want out of life and what you want to accomplish while you are in this life.  Think broad statement, global aspect, how or in what way do you want to impact the world or society with your life.  This is your ultimate, end result that you are working towards.  In some cultures they believe your vision is the overarching theme to your existence. This is not to be confused with your goals however.  They come next and are a means for you to ultimately attain your vision.

 

2-   Make a detailed list of your goals- these may be small and very specific, or larger and broader.

These are the steps and accomplishments you will experience victory through on your journey to accomplishing your vision.  We like to think of these as markers along the road to let you know just how far you have come as well as how far you have left to go.  Goals need to have two components- they need to tell you (and everyone else) exactly how much and by when you are accomplishing, and then to be framed in a specific and positive way.  Vague goals produce vague results.  Include all possible details, these details give more validity to your goals in your brain and are more easily attained.

 

3-   Finally, you need to chunk down your goals into action steps. 

This is really the nitty-gritty to receiving what you truly want out of this life.  These are the day-to-day tasks you need to work on or accomplish in order to attain your goals.  Each action step takes you one step closer to reaching your goal and achieving your vision.

 

Some of you will say you don’t know what to write as your vision, goals, or action steps.  The vision is a detailed picture of what you would like to look back on your life and be able to say you had a hand in accomplishing or making better.  Once you know where you want to go in this life and what you want to receive from this life you can visually place yourself in that time and place and look back.  Imagine you are being interviewed by Katie Couric and she asks you “what was it that you did to make to where you are now”- make sure you have mentally placed yourself already having achieved and actively experiencing the completion of your vision.  Take a moment and look back over time and allow your mind to tell you what things did you accomplish in order to get to where you wanted to be?  How did accomplishing those items make you feel?  Then, get even more specific with yourself and look to see what daily things made it possible for you to achieve those goals.  Jack Canfield, in “The Success Principles”, tells us that our brain is capable of accomplishing absolutely anything that we want.  “The brain is a goal-seeking organism.”  We only have to allow it to do so.  Nothing is out of reach or impossible and we already have everything we need within ourselves to achieve each and every thing we desire.  Those things we do not already posses or know our brain will align for us to find or encounter, the people we need to assist us in our journey will be brought to us.  With constant and impassioned thought, we can attain and achieve all that we most desire.  The first step though, is to write down in vivid detail what we want and how we plan to get it.  www.wealthy-resources.com
