The Easiest Way to Hit a Goal Is to Give Yourself One to
Hit
It seems as though so many people are seeking more, wanting
more, and expecting more in their lives, yet when pressed about
what “more” would look like, rarely can they give a definitive
answer.
They say things like, “I want to be happy,” or “I want to be
rich,” or “I want the perfect mate.” To be honest, as wonderful
as those statements are, they’re far too vague to ever be
reached.
What does happiness look and feel like? What’s your definition
of rich? How would you describe that perfect mate? Each of us
has a different interpretation of what those things mean.
For example, I define happiness as having the freedom to do what
I please, when I please to do it. Being rich means having tens
of millions of dollars in the bank, and that perfect mate has
movie actress charm and the heart of Mother Teresa.
To you, however, these descriptions could be way off course. For
you, happiness could mean taking a long-needed vacation. Being
rich could mean not having to struggle to make ends meet. Your
perfect mate might be the one beside you all along.
The point is, we all need to define our goals, and most
important, what they would look like if we saw them. Once we do
that, the rest becomes easy. Once we know what we’re seeking,
it’s simple to devise a plan to make it happen.
By saying, “I want to be happy, and that means taking that
trip,” all you now have to do is get out your calendar, circle
the date you want to go, get some brochures on the desired
destination, and then plan a course of ACTION to make your dream
come true. You might do it by asking your boss to take $50 a
week out of your paycheck and save it toward the vacation. Or
you might want to work an extra job to gain some additional cash.
You see, once you have your vision, you can create ways to make
it happen because . . .
The easiest way to hit a goal is to give yourself one to hit.
