3 Practical Steps to Realizing Your Goals Goals give you a purpose for taking on life. People who live without goals have no purpose, and it is obvious even in their body language. They are on permanent idle; they slouch; they list from side to side. Their conversations dawdle. They telephone you and say, Hey, Im just calling. I wasnt doing anything, so I thought Id call you. Well, dont call me. Ive got things to do. Many people just muddle through life. They dont read informational material; they dont even pay attention when they watch television. If you ask them what they are watching, they mumble-mouth, Nothin, Im just lookin. What are your goals for your career? For your relationships? For your spiritual life? Develop a schedule for the next month, the next six months, the next year, five years and 10 years. Write it all out. Lets take one of the most common goals as an example: You want to make more money. If that is your goal, then take these three practical steps toward realizing it. 1. Determine specifically how much money you want to make. Then double that amount and make that your goal. Even if you dont reach the higher amount, you will probably still find yourself making more than your original goal. 2. Decide the amount of energy you are willing to expend to reach your goal. How many hours are you willing to work a day? How many jobs are you willing to hold down? What sort of work are you willing to do? 3. Develop a practical plan of action and get started immediately. Chart out where you want to be in relation to your goal in the next month, six months, one year, five years and 10 years. Get started today. Go apply for that second job now! Go enroll in that career training program now! Ask for that raise now! And, finally, make sure that you have all of this written down so that you can review it every morning and every night. Envision yourself taking these steps—and succeeding.
