We all want to achieve many things in our lives. Every year we have new goals to achieve and many more things that we want to buy. The list seems endless…but the question remains.. How many of your goals in your list ever come to fruition? How many of those goals and dreams are the fruits of your consistent and persistent efforts?

We cannot attract the things we want by doing nothing. We certainly cannot keep the things we have for very long if we don’t take enough effort to keep them. We must continue to strive for the best and consistently do whatever it takes to get there. Being lazy won’t help get you there. So how do we solve the problem?

Here’s how I do it!

Step 1.

Look at your written goals and dreamboard. Ask yourself why did you want it in the first place? Why is it so important to you? Why do you really need to achieve it? What would happen to you emotionally and financially if you don’t achieve it? Will other people be affected if you don’t get it? Will you let them down?

Step 2.

Write those reasons down. Always be honest with yourself.

Step 3.

Give yourself a timeline to achieve each tasks and goals. Write the reasons next to each goal - I must achieve this goal because ……..

Step 4.

Everytime when you fall behind, look back at what you’ve written. If your reasons are strong, you will soon realise that you need to do something now. Not tomorrow but NOW! Otherwise, go back to Step 1 and review.

Good luck!
