“When you do the things in the present that you can see, you are shaping the future that you are yet to see.”

Changing your life is not a one-time thing. It takes time, patience, and effort. But the good news is that you can change your life in 3 months or even faster if you know what to do and how to do it.
The first step to changing your life is admitting that you have a problem. If you are not happy with the way things are going, then there is something wrong with your life. You need to be honest with yourself and take responsibility for the things that aren’t working in your life so that you can fix them and make them better.
The sooner you start, the better. And if you want to change your life in 3 months or even faster, then you should follow these steps.
Start with a vision and goal
Most people don’t start their journey towards change until they have already been through years of struggle. This is not the way to go about it. You need to take control of your life before it takes control of you.
“Goal setting allows us to precisely visualize what needs to be done and how to accomplish these goals.”
— Barasha and Bhaswati in Vantage Circle
If you are ready to make some changes, then you should first set yourself up for success. Write down what you want out of life. What do you want to accomplish? Who do you want to become? How do you want to feel?
Once you know this, write it down and keep it somewhere where you can see it every day.
Take the small steps. Change is not easy, but it is always worthwhile. Most people fail because they try to change everything all at once when in reality you should start with one small step and build from there.
If you are ready to quit your job and start a business, then take the first step by quitting your current job. This is the first step towards a long journey, not the only step.
If you want to improve your career, then start by reading the articles on your company’s website that talk about improving employee development. Getting help from a career counselor is also a good idea.
If you want to exercise more, then start with one small step of running for ten minutes each day. This is just a small sample for starting something new or improving something old. There are many other things that you can do, but it’s important to start somewhere.
It is also crucial to stay focused on your goal. If you want to make changes in your life, then it is crucial that you stay focused on those goals and tasks.
If you are trying to lose weight, then don’t go out for a night of partying with friends or get drunk with co-workers at happy hour.
Stay focused on one goal and do not stray from it. Set small goals. If you want to quit your job and start a business, then set smaller goals that progress all the way up to quitting your job and starting a business.
One of these goals might be to find a new job that pays better or start working part-time hours at Starbucks.
Anyway, you need to set a goal, stay focused and be consistent about your path.
Make a plan
Once you have a vision and goal in mind, you need to create a plan that will help you get from point A to point B. Make sure that your plan has milestones along the way.
“A goal without a plan is just a wish” — Antoine de Saint-Exupery
These milestones will act as checkpoints to ensure that you stay on track. They will also serve as motivation to continue moving forward. Create milestones that you complete each week or month.
These are your smaller, more manageable goals that you can handle without giving up. Milestones at the end of your plan that will signal the completion of your larger goal.
For example, at the end of a three-month plan, you might want to complete 30 push-ups. Milestones are goals that you complete during the course of your plan.
Motivation is a dangerous thing to rely on alone! You should also have a plan for how to stay organized and maintain momentum. What do you want your life’s work to look like?
When I create a goal, I build small milestones. I don’t create super harsh tasks, because I know I can’t complete them.
Yes, you can be very motivated to achieve your goal at the beginning. But when it comes to the actual work with your smaller tasks, you might feel that it’s super hard to be on track.
This is why I strongly recommend creating such milestones that you can really follow. You don’t need to be a superhero and exhaust yourself. Your completion journey should be full of happiness and results you love.
This is why it’s important to create a proper plan that you can follow every day.
Keep track of your progress
It is difficult to keep track of our progress when we have a lot of things going on in our lives. However, it is important to know where we are and how much we’ve accomplished so far.
One of the most effective ways is to create your personal journal. Keeping a journal will help you more than anything else to keep track of your progress, and it will help you to stay motivated.
“Once you start tracking your goals, you’re able to see the small, day by day progress that you might not otherwise notice.”
You can write down how much weight you lost, how many steps you took, and what milestones have been reached in the journal so that you can be reminded of how far the journey has taken you.
Your journal is a mirror of your mood as well. There will always be some days when you feel like you’ve hit a major obstacle and that the journey is too difficult.
This doesn’t mean that you have to quit, just keep the mindset of positivity. Stay positive for the days when it’s going well and know that tomorrow will be better as well.
When you feel upset or don’t have the energy to continue your path, your journal is a way to remind you how far you have already moved, and how many steps you have already completed.
Having a personal journal can be a simple notebook or a digital tool. It doesn’t really matter how you write down your progress.
I used to keep my progress offline before, but today I use online tools because they have a reminder feature. It really helps me to set a deadline and get reminders all the time.
It’s a small advice to help you achieve your personal goals and get to the life you always wanted.
Final thoughts
You cannot succeed if you are not prepared. Before you begin to work on your goal, make sure that you have everything that you need.
This is why you need to create a working strategy that will help you to get the results you want.
Goal planning, having a solid plan, and staying on track are the basis for your successful goal achievement. If you plan everything correctly, you can achieve any goal you need.
Start your goal setting today and don’t wait for tomorrow, because life is too short to wait. It’s time for action.
