First, let us use a pencil to put two dots on a white paper, the A dot on the left side and the B dot on the right side. After that, draw a straight line using the ruler from A to B. What do you think of the straight line? Does it appear to you as a 'short distance'? Do you find out that when you have two points written down, it is easier for you to draw the line?
"Yes!"
I hear your answer. "Yes!" A straight line is actually reflects to our line, our journey life. Similarly, A is your stand point and B is your goal. A goal is something you want to be - your dreams and your ambition. It is important that we have a clear goal to reach out along the journey to the goal (the drawing of straight line) is to focus; to understand; to passion, to be patient, consistency, and put words into action.
How do we know that if the goal set is correct? In this case, this question might be popped out in your mind.
"Will i change my goal after i proceed on with some actions?"
Before i answer this question, let us look at the story below:
A young man, aged 24 has a goal to slim down by 10kg in three months. His current weight is 110kg. So he started to write out his schedule: 5.30am wake up and go for jogging for 30 minutes. Breakfast: 2 pieces of bread with mayonnaise (no butter or margarine). Lunch: Skip and replaced with fibre drink/ fruits Dinner: vegetables with rice. He succeeded follow the schedule in the first week. And he is happy for the result that he found out that he has successfully lost 2kg in that particular week. "Wow, i have lost 2kg! That's great! hmmm.... perhaps jogging for three times affect still okay as long as i reduce my meal should be no problem." The man told himself in his heart, cheerfully. Slowly, his schedule was not followed orientedly and day by day..... the next morning, "well me just have longer sleep.... the next morning i shall exercise more to replace yesterday exercise".
You got my points here? Many of us will start bargaining when we move on with our steps to reach our goals. We tend to give less focus after weeks by weeks. Or best say our focus being distracted by other temporarily goals? or attraction? or people words?
A line shouldn't being crooked. Similarly to our path to goal (A --> B), the path shouldn't be crooked. It should IN LINE with our missions and ways to reach the goal.
How can we make sure that we do not get lost along our path to our goal? Here are some suggestions:
(1) Write it out big and clear enough in a piece of paper/ whiteboard and place it at anyplace that easier for you to see to remind you on your goal that you need to achieve.
(2) Motivation. Reading motivation books, talking with entrepreneurs/ successful person to increase your motive to success and also attend required course to widen our knowledge and get to know how other people reach their goals.
(3) Visualisation. Dare to visualize yourself in your current goal now. It will trigger you more to reach your goal. Imagine what will you feel when you reach your goal.
(4) Action. Put on actions when you have set the missions.
(5) Focus. Do not get distract by other unnecessarily or temporarily attraction.
(6) Clear. Be sure what you want to do. List out your hobbies, dreams, expected future.
(7) Checklist. Write down what you have done so far and what other things needed to be done to reach your goal.
Be sure of you have the right feelings, thoughts, ideas to reach your goal!
And most importantly "Never Give Up in anything you do!"
