10 steps to get what you want!!
So how do we actually get what we want...
It's been in my mind for while as to how do we actually achieve "that goal" that we have been craving for so long.
My observation says it's quite simple though we always tend to complicate things around us. Follow few of these steps:
1. Pinpoint your goal with full clarity. Be sure of what you actually want. You can't aim at the blank sky neither can you shoot in dark. So more than anything else you yourself should know what you want. Do all your research... All your ground and field work analysis... Just don't let any other unnecessary thought occupy the precious place of your mind.
2. Now that you have decided what you want, never ever think of any other option. Let this one thing be your life. Keep reminding yourself everyday about this goal of yours. Simplest exercise> look at the mirror at yourself. Tell your dream aloud looking deep and stern into your own eyes. Advantage> It's generally difficult to lie to our own selves. So you know that there is one person who wants you to reach your goal - You yourself!
3. Break your main goal into bits of smaller goals now. You have to make action plans for them too. Achieving smaller goals while boost your morale; at the same time you ensure that your heading towards your goal slowly and steadily!
4. Plan your action for achieving your goal. Prepare a checklist, to-do list, requirements,...a time table in short. To achieve something it's most important that you plan each and every activity in detail..minutely finding out and critically examining your own plan.. You could alternatively take help of a close confidant who could analyze the feasibility of your schedule.
5. Dream of achieving it. You need to convince yourself that nothing is impossible. If you believe, rest will follow suit. Is it not true that someone's dream of flying got us the invention of airplane! Keep your vote of thanks and success speech ready. A self motivated and forward looking proactive individual can really make mountains move.
6. It's time to get into actual play. Act as per plan. There can be innumerable hurdles in your way. Your strategy> No lagging to be carried forward for more than three days. This way you will always be on time; as per your schedule.
7. If you think you were a little too harsh on yourself, this is the time to reset your schedule. Make a zero budget analysis ( Check as per schedule where you were supposed to reach and where you actually are.) Such a variance analysis is so important because we all are smart to design a schedule.. However seldom do we stick to it!!
8. Check if the progress is satisfactory. If yes, then you were wise with choosing your goal. If no, find out what is that extra effort you need to put. Indulge a small chat with someone who believes in you, someone who would help you in sorting any uncontrollable events in your life which is preventing you from striving towards your goal.
9. Love your goal,your dream. Love can work wonders. It will make all the pain your undergoing worth it! Be proud that you had courage to dream and work towards achieving. In such a case actual achieving will look like a tiny pebble..just as easy as picking it up with two fingers.
10. Be grateful to all the people who helped you directly or indirectly in achieving your goal. Smile over your achievement. Be proud that you had courage to dream and achieve it!
Wise men say if you follow a particular action continuously for fifteen days without break , it becomes a habit! Let working towards your goal become your habit.
Hope this helps you. Hope you dream big..and achieve it...if you think out of the box no one would ever think of enslaving you in their opinion.
Dream. Plan. Act. Achieve. Live it.
