How Important is Your Goals Setting?

"Dreams come true. Without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them."

John Updike

Success is goals, and all else is commentary. All successful people are intensely goal oriented. They know what they want and they are focused single mindedly on achieving it, every single day. Your ability to set goals is the master skill of success. Goals unlock your positive mind and release ideas and energy for goal attainment. Without goals, you simply drift and flow on the currents of life. With goals, you fly like an arrow, straight and true to your target.

The truth is that you probably have more natural potential than you could use if you lived one hundred lifetimes. Whatever you have accomplished up until now is only a small fraction of what is truly possible for you. One of the rules for success is this, it doesn’t matter where you’re coming from; all that matters is where you’re going. And where you are going is solely determined by yourself and your own thoughts. Clear goals increase your confidence, develop your competence and boost your levels of motivation.

Goals is what you belief. It was July 2005, three years ago, I said to one of my friend as a Researcher that I want to be a Writer. She was smiling at me and said,” Ainy, it is a long way to be a writer. So do you like writing?” I remembered that time I said honestly that,” I do like writing, but I have no experience to write a book except my thesis. But I am sure one day I’ll write a book.”

Realizing that I have no skills in writing but I have a dream to be a writer, I set up my goals as a writer. I also set up my blueprints regarding any action to be taken. To develop my writing skills, I started to join the writing course on 2006, and then practiced my writing by sending the article. I sent my articles to the newspaper many times even though I did know that every time I wrote, every time I was rejected. What I belief on that time was that the more I am writing articles, the more I get a chance to write a book. Honestly, that belief has kept my spirit on writing on and on no matter how many times I was rejected.

Anyone Can Do It. To keep my writing spirit, I write my favorite inspiration sentence from Honda then stick it to the wall. I said this sentence “I’ve failed 99% of my trials, in order to succeed in the remaining 1%” many time especially when I wake up every morning. I also said to myself that, “Ainy, anyone can do it. Honda already did it. If anyone can do it, then I can do it.” Having said that word many times, I feel that I have recharged my energy on and on.

Goal setting is powerful. Within two years following my blueprint for goal achieving, my life had changed once more. I have started writing a book and worked hard to finish it. I realized that this “goal setting” stuff was incredibly powerful. I feel that having goal setting, putting effort and intuition into it has delivered me to where I am now, writing my lovely book.

Living without clear goals is like driving in a thick fog. No matter how powerful or well engineered your car, you drive slowly, hesitantly, making little progress on even the smoothest road. Deciding upon your goals clears the fog immediately and allows you to focus and channel your energies and abilities. Clear goals enable you to step on the accelerator of your own life and leap ahead rapidly toward achieving more of the things you really want. No matter what your education is. I am not the only one example of having my dream comes true by setting my goal. What I found was that these ideas work everywhere, for everyone, no matter what your education, experience or background may be when you begin. Most of all, these ideas have made it possible for me, and many thousands of others, to take complete control over our lives. The regular and systematic practice of goal setting has taken us from poverty to prosperity, from frustration to fulfillment, from underachievement to success and satisfaction. This system will do the same for you and I am happy for your sharing experience. Ok, I am looking forward to know my next achievement and your achievement. There is a light and it is the time to move forward now.
