Where Your Journey Takes You, It's [REALLY] Up To You!
Here's a giveaway bonus question to everyone. Can you guess HOW FAR CAN YOU GO [in your life journey]? C'mon dude, you can be a low-risk guy BUT I enjoin you to grab that chance and answer that question [only to yourself though]. To entice you to do so, I'll share you my own answer. I can go as far as I want on one condition. As long as that destination is feasible and realistic. Where Your Journey Takes You, It's [REALLY] Up To You!!!
SO HOW? Two simple words. SET GOALS! And it has to start NOW, as in NOW! Obviously, before you SET GOALS, decide as to WHAT you want to achieve in life. Separating WHAT's important from WHAT's irrelevant OR even a distraction. NOW, let's get both our feet back on the ground. Many people feel AS IF they're adrift in the world. They work hard, BUT they DON'T seem to get anywhere worthwhile. Heard this several times: I'VE BEEN GRINDING [and kicking my ass] BUT nothing seems to progress!@#$%?
NOW, let me dig deep from my distant past. A key reason that they feel that way is that they HAVEN'T spent enough time thinking about WHAT they want from life and HAVEN'T set themselves formal goals either. After all, WOULD you set out on a major journey with NO real idea of your destination? Likely NOT, dude. SO HOW? First, consider WHAT you want to achieve and then commit to it. Set SMART [Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound] goals that motivate you and write them down to make them feel that concrete and tangible. A common recurring lapse by so many? They have ambitious and overflowing goals BUT it's all stuck deep inside their minds, whew. Goal-setting is a powerful process for thinking about ideal future and for motivating yourself to turn your vision of your future into reality. That process of setting goals helps you choose WHERE you want to go in life💥💥💥
By knowing precisely WHAT you want to achieve, you know WHERE you have to concentrate your efforts. You'll also quickly spot the distractions that can, so easily, lead you to go astray. Few times in the past, I asked people [WHOM I knew up close] as they seemed idle almost everyday. Their common retort: 'I'M WAITING FOR AN OPENING IN DUBAI, HONG KONG OR WHEREVER', whew!@#$%? If that's one's mindset, you're a living dead waiting to go kaput any day now❌❌❌
Our takeaway: Setting goals seem so casual that's NOT worth discussing BUT frankly, setting goals may seem that simple and easy if you take this structure approach:
- First, create that 'BIG PICTURE' of WHAT you want to be
- Second, break it up into smaller and milestone targets
- Third, craft your overall plan that is detailed enough, very specific [using ACTION WORDs, ACTIVE VERBs] and comprehensives from end-to-end.
