How To Make Your Goals Come Alive

Most of us know that we have to set goals in order to accomplish things in life. Before goals can be set, we should ponder what it is we actually want out of life. What are the reasons we are here and what would we like to do before we leave the world.

Too many people get caught up with day to day living that they forget about their goals. Goal setting may seem like too much work to add one more thing to the plate. But if a goal is to ever get accomplished, it has to start somewhere.

One of the first things we can do is create vivid images in our minds. When we create images in our mind, we have the power to turn those images into physical manifestations. Think about those images at least once a day in a down time minute. Everyone has a minute they can think about something. When you go for a drink of water for example, think about your goals and what you can do to one step closer.

It is important to set goals because they give us meaning and add direction to our lives. Without any goals at all, many people wander aimlessly through life, and before you know it, the end is approaching.

So many people do not accomplish their goals because they put them off as another chore. When a goal is looked at as a chore, it probably means that the goal was not set specifically and measurably. We have to set time tables and stick to them when it comes to our goals. Time is a rapidly moving thing and time will go by whether you accomplish your goal or not.

When we set specific goals, we are able to take action in small steps. We know exactly what we want and what is required to get there. Once we know exactly what is required, only then can we measure how long it will take to get there. Often times, goals seem too long to accomplish that we give up. Take chunks of your goals and break them up into smaller accomplishments and before you know it, you have fully accomplished the entire goal.
