Goal Setting and Consistency
There are a few people in this world who can succeed without any goals or plans. They are either lucky or made from some kind of otherworldly deal. For the rest of us, having a plan is probably the only way to succeed in what we want. Goal setting and consistency can help you achieve what you want and stay on track.
It makes no sense to persevere if you choose the wrong plan or no plan at all. By setting goals it gives you something to focus on and you can strive to complete them. This doesn’t mean that all the goals or tasks will be correct but you can find alternatives when needed. At least when you have a plan, you have a reason to pursue your goals.
There are many ways to set goals, but one of the more acceptable ways is to start with high-level goals. Then, for each of those high-level goals define the tasks that it would take to accomplish those goals. Set milestones so that you can measure how you are doing at each step. It’s okay to make adjustments along the way, even to the high-level goals but the key is to use this as a roadmap to keep going. That is the best way to get to where you want to go. Perseverance and consistency will play a big role here.
If you give up at any point, don’t beat yourself up too much. Either start over or if possible, pick up where you left off. When you accomplish your milestones and goals, it will be that much more worth the effort.
Sometimes, people don’t get back to their goals. Either they gave up too quickly, or they weren’t meant to make them happen. If this happens to you, find out what you really want from those goals and if they are right for you. It’s okay if they aren’t but just make sure that you didn’t give up because it was easier to do that. You don’t want to live with regrets.
If you find that you are constantly giving up on your goals, you may want to get some professional help. This can either be in the form of coaching or in extreme cases, you may want to seek the advice of a counselor. Sometimes this can make the difference in breaking the barrier of quitting before achieving your goals. A mentor or counselor can give you the necessary guidance and may even be able to help you define better goals. It could be you just weren’t following the right plan.
