Goals - How To Set Them So You Achieve Them

Everyone of us have goals of one sort or another

. It is a part of human nature to plan for the future and to dream of a better tomorrow. Because of this, it is only natural that we, as human beings, use goals as a way to measure out progress to that future time where we have achieved what we set out to do. In this way, goals are a positive way to improve one's life.

However, goals can also be a negative force. When someone sets goals for themselves that are impossible to achieve, they are also setting themselves up for failure in life. The road to self improvement is taken one step at a time. As a result, goals must be achievable. In order to be achievable, a goal must be realistic and grounded in reality. In other words, the goals that we set cannot encompass our ultimate aims, aspirations and destinations. This is because goals are different animals entirely from ambitions and dreams. Ambitions and dreams are the endgame, goals are the day to day path taken to arrive there.

One you realize that goals are the steps taken to get an end result, and not the end result itself, then setting and achieving those goals becomes much easier. In addition, getting the end result of those goals becomes that much easier as well. It is all a matter of proper perspective. When you are concentrating on the steps needed for self-improvement, you will find that improvement is achieved by degrees. We all want to be better people, but none of us become what we want to be overnight. Let's look at an example.

For the sake of clarity, let's assume that your goal is something tangible, like climbing Mt. Everest. Let's also assume that you know nothing about high altitude mountain climbing and are in average physical shape. Your aim is to climb the mountain. Your goals must be attuned to achieving that aim. You can set daily, weekly and monthly physical goals designed to bring your body into the physical condition necessary to meet the challenge. You can also set educational goals designed to enlarge your knowledge of mountain climbing techniques. Finally, you can set financial goals to help defray the cost of achieving your aim. By making your goals achievable, you will eventually be able to stand on the summit of any mountain, physical or spiritual, that you decide to climb.
