Every morning as we lay in bed we create a mental list about the things we want to achieve at the end of the day.On average, 87% of those persons actually complete that list leaving the other 13% with a little some thing called "unfinished business"Each person has goals and dreams which they manufacture to accomplish. Similarly,some are contented and do overcome the hurdles and are successful while others laze around waiting for a miracle.The one's who aren't as motivated like to blame "life" for their failure.Sadly,they believe life is on the opposing side and loves to throw them curve balls.When in fact they should blame themselves for their misfortune.However goals and dreams aren't the same.Shocking?
By definition A Goal is the result or achievement toward which effort is directed.In other words,when one makes an intention to gain something the end product is termed a "goal".On setting a goal one should decide what he/she really wants in the end and then work backwards in obtaining it.

A Goal should be:
1.Specific
2.Time bound
3.Realistic
4.Measurable
5.Achievable
On the other side of the are the opposite of goals.Dreams.A Dream is a fantasy that cannot be pursued or obtained [a visionary creation of the imagination:by definition].Its not a problem to have these dreams but we must realise the fact that the chances are that they become reality are very slim.We shouldn't live our life hoping that our dreams come true.Sometimes we face the difficulty in not seeing the difference in them.We ideate that are "dreams" are goal and we fall short in achieving them leaving us aiding a wound of failure.
In a nutshell,we should have realistic dreams that lead to goals in the near future.Nothing is complete until hard work,dedication and sacrifice is made.

Be careful when using, and focusing on "realistic" goals. Realistic is what YOU say it is. Don't limit yourself to those things that most think are realistic. Electricity wasn't realistic before it was invented. Flying... same thing. Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, etc were all "unrealistic" to 99%. The only people who thought it was realistic to have that type of success were the 1% who invented those.
ReplyDeleteMake your goals bigger than you think you can achieve. Your mind will do whatever it takes to get there... if you have passion and willing to sacrifice.
Don't mentally box yourself in with ideals that THEY (the average thinkers) believe in.
