Small Steps For Achieving Future Goals
People are yearning for this year to end on a good note. Covid-19 pandemic has created chaos in people’s lives. Everyone is tired of staying at home for long hours. All the schools, office work & virtual meetings are all getting done at home. People are not able to meet their near & dear ones by visiting them. They can be met only online. Many people cannot achieve their goals, which they had set for 2020 to get accomplished. Covid-19 has changed the course of action for people this year.
People have also lost their loved ones due to the corona-virus. Many people across the world have lost their lives, and it is still counting. The cure is only possible when the vaccine is ready for the corona-virus to get cured. In this turmoil, people have held themselves healthy and are focusing on making goals for achieving them. Dreams are very crucial to achieving big things in life. Breaking down a plan in small steps makes the process all the easier.
The main motive behind making a goal is to work towards achieving it till it is completed. We all make goals, but somewhere they get lost in the process. It is vital to go back to the starting point of why you made a goal. Once you realize it, then you can start fresh and keep progressing towards it.
We can write down a seven-step outline to work towards achieving your goals and make your self happy. They are as follows:
Write Down Your Goal: Any goal kept in mind only to do it will be forgotten, and you will be ready to make another goal. A plan written on a piece of paper will make your work on an everyday basis and redetermine if you can achieve it in your set time limit. Writing down a goal gets it registered in the brain and makes a person more determined to meet it in the set time frame.
Make a deadline: Goals without a set deadline is of no use to a person. The goal behind making a goal is to do it within the set time limit. Any person making a goal has to be ready with a set time limit. The deadline will make a person strive twice as hard as possible to make it a reality. It will make you think about what is most required to achieve the goal in a set time limit. You can focus on the purpose and remove all distractions.
Healthy Mindset: It is all the more crucial to have a healthy mindset to do the goal. It is all about being positive in your approach towards your goal. If you set a goal, then think about it that it will not happen. Then how much effort you put in, you will not be able to achieve the goal. It is easy to make a goal, but it takes effort to achieve a goal. That is when a positive mindset is needed to see the day.
Master your skill Set: Any achievement requires a vital skill set to be mastered. While developing a goal, it is crucial to understand the skill set needed to move ahead towards your goal. Every step you take towards your goal makes you master the skill in your chosen field of interest. A person with a robust skillset will make the right decision in a difficult situation.
Take Steps towards your goal: Any journey begins with a single step. Without moving ahead, nothing fruitful can be achieved. It is all the more crucial to start working towards your goal by taking action. If you take steps forward, you will be at the same place. Take steps ahead even if you are not sure of the result. You will make mistakes and learn from them for the future. E.g., If you plan to learn swimming, you have to take the plunge in the swimming pool to know your way through. As you keep progressing, you will also learn in the process.
Be Consistent: This is crucial for you to achieve anything in life. Once you set the goal, then work towards making it a reality. Many people leave it halfway when a trouble situation arises and are not able to cope with it. Then the only thing that comes to their mind is to give up. But they don’t realize that they will not be able to achieve anything in life. Remember that anything significant in life is only accomplished by being consistent and persevere till the very end. That is when you will develop yourself as someone whom people can look at as a role model.
Achieve the goal: You have come a long way from setting the goal of achieving it in your set time limit. You have gone through many ups & down towards making the goal a reality. People were there to judge you and pull you down. They did not believe in your purpose and you as well. But you were able to prove everyone wrong by being strong and did not give up. That is your achievement for you to be proud of and gain the people’s trust of people close to you.
