Unleash the Power of Goal-Setting

“Goals in writing are dreams with deadlines.”

Unleash the Power of Goal-Setting
Goals are dreams with a timeline. Most successful people have Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound (SMART) goals, which are written down and worked upon every day.

Having a big dream is not enough. Your big dream has to be broken down into small goals. Your goals are the milestones towards your dreams. By setting easy goals you are underestimating yourself. Your goals must be big enough to stretch you and be capable of taking you to a new level of success.

Have you ever made a list of priorities in life? Do you really know what you want from life? If you haven’t, it may surprise you to know that deciding what you want is often the first and the most important step to getting it. The intensity of your desire determines the probability of its happening.

A burning desire to be somebody and to do something great is the starting point from which the dreamer must take off. When you break down your dream and set a timeline to achieve it, it becomes a goal. There is a difference between wishing for something and being ready to receive it. No one is ready for anything, until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must be that of complete faith, not mere hope or wish.

Our brain is a goal-seeking organism. In fact, scientists now know that the brain uses its own Reticular Activating System (RAS) to filter through the millions of images, sounds, impressions and other messages we receive each day to let into our conscious mind, to hold on to only that information which we need to meet our goals.
