How serious are you about reaching your goals?

If you haven t set any goals and are cruising through life nonchalantly you won t be disappointed. As the saying goes: Blessed are those who aim for nothing for they shall not be disappointed .

Does that mean that life is a mad race? It s all a matter of balance. How do you know if you are making progress or falling behind if you don t have a yardstick to go by?

It s not just those who are trapped in an addictive cycle who suffer from the failure to set clear and achievable goals it s also all of us who fail to make a commitment to ourselves to see to it that our circumstances do change for the better.

Now I am going to spring a dirty word on you ready? It s called discipline! The bad news is that unless you set boundaries around your life you are going nowhere fast. The good news is that if you manage to rein-in the rebel within you, you will go places.

So how do you make it happen? May I suggest you have a good look at this goal achievement resource. It is your life coach website where you can document what you want to do. More importantly it will be your standard of achievement where you can measure your progress. Where you spend your time and money tells me a lot about your commitment to reach your goals. Having to keep a record of where you spend each of those precious items will cause you to discover a few things about yourself.

Two consequences of this disciplined approach is that you will start planning your week ahead (managing your time) and making a budget (managing your money). Welcome to the real world! Life is a fight. Life is a challenge. Life is an obstacle course. Don t just start the race finish the race! Bad things happen to good people for no fault of their own. Turn your back on the past. Unlearn bad habits caused by your past failures and take stock of your potential. If you don t start trusting in yourself who will? You hold the keys to your future no matter your age, your looks, your education, etc

If life is a challenge then what is worth fighting for? Unless you are sold out on achieving your goals your energy will wane at the first obstacle. Expect difficulties they are part of life. If you have setbacks it only means one thing: you are alive and it s up to you to discover ways to get where you want to be.

Learn from children. Nobody told them; It can t be done. They dream and role play through games all day long. They act out and verbalise what is in their imagination.

Rediscover the child you once were and realise your dream.
