Increase Your Success

Do you ever feel like you can't achieve the goals you make for yourself? Often when we dream, we want to lose weight, become wealthy, win the person of our dreams, and so on. Just a slight shift in the way you approach your dreams can bring you much greater success and the knowledge you can count on yourself to achieve.

The trick is to state your short term goals in terms of things you can do yourself, rather than about what life or others might give you, or those things with uncertain outcome. Your short term goals must be in harmony with the vision for your life and your greatest dreams. Do this and you will see your achievement change from being uncertain to reliable and your dreams will come true, it's only a matter of time.

Start by phrasing your goals so that success or failure of what you state is virtually 100% in your hands. In other words, break down your dreams into action-focused goals you will take to lead you to success. For example, rather than wishing only for a new job, you can say, "I will apply for 100 jobs this month that pay 15% more than my current salary." Instead of, "I will lose five pounds this month," try, "I will walk for 45 minutes every day this month." If you do these actions, you will achieve your goals as you stated them, and your dreams will follow in short order.

Setting goals in this way does two things. It places the responsibility of achieving the goal up to you, but it also makes it so that you have little chance of failing. If your goals are your efforts, then success will eventually follow. We most often fail our goals when we leave things up to chance. We want to lose weight and get healthy, but may not have a clear understanding what we need to do for success. Or we may wish something to happen, but it is up to others to give it to us. The more we commit our own actions to our success, the more our power to succeed comes to us.

"Sow a thought and you reap an action; sow and act and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a destiny."

Choose A More Productive Way to Procrastinate! - by Dr. Gary S. Goodman
I'm fairly confident that procrastination, the tendency to put off doing important things, is universal. If Margaret Mead, the famed anthropologist, had sought out data confirming this trait, she would have found plenty, even among remote tribal communities. Happily, there is a better way of overcoming the temptation to procrastinate than by engaging in compulsive list making and self-downing, says this top speaker, best-selling author, and TV and radio commentator.
