How to reach your goals
How to reach your goals? Can you really achieve all your goals in life?
Megan feels helpless. She has many goals that she would like to accomplish, but has doubts that she will ever reach her goals. She also has no clue where to start. Megan needs some guidance on the steps that she needs to take in order to achieve what she desires, so let’s help her out. 
How to reach your goals in life
Reaching your goals can be easy if you follow the below steps:
1. Make a decision
You need to make a strong decision right now that you will do whatever it takes to succeed. Never say statements such as:
- I will try and hopefully things will work out
- I will do my best and if I don’t achieve what I want, that is ok
- I don’t think I’m lucky enough to make it happen
As I mentioned in my book “the ultimate guide to achieve your goals” that when you make a strong decision to do whatever it takes to reach your goals, you are charging your mentality with positive expectations and you will feel unstoppable.
2. Expect the positive
Have you ever seen someone successful like Donald Trump say that I hope it will work out and succeed? Such statement is not in the vocabulary of any successful.
When someone like Donald Trump wants to succeed at something and reach his goals like building a hotel, he says something like “this is going to be the best hotel ever. Thousands of people are going to come and enjoy it and have the best time ever.” In other words, he sees it, feels it, and lives it mentally so it manifests in the outer world.
3. Develop your mentality
You have to start developing your positive mentality. You might ask “how can I develop my mentality and think positive?” You can start by working on getting rid of your limiting beliefs; start to expect the positive, and assigning positive purpose to events and situations in life.
Working on developing your mentality is an on-going process. It is a life journey where everyday you get better. The mind is like a computer, whatever you deposit in it; it gives it back to you.
Watch what you say to yourself and when something undesirable shows up in your life, examine you thoughts and emotions instead of blaming the government, people, and life. When you develop your mentality, you will for sure reach your goals.
4. Visualize and take action
We can’t talk about reaching your goals without talking about visualization and taking action as they are at the heart of every success. Let me ask you a question, do you take the time to imagine what you want to accomplish? Do you take the time to work on your goals in life daily?
When the Russian director Stanislavski used to coach his actors in the Moscow Art Theatre, he used to say that when his actors skip practicing for a day, then they have lost a day and it is detrimental for the actor.
This is true in all areas of life. If you skip a day and don’t take any step to bring you closer to your desire, then you are wasting a day that you could’ve used to help you get closer, so you can reach your goals and vision.
5. Persist
One of the most common reasons people don’t reach all their goals is because they end up giving up just when they are about to experience success.
When I took singing lessons a few years ago, my singing range was not wide enough, but with practice, diligence, and persistence, I was able to increase my range and sing higher notes.
Had I given up on practicing, I wouldn’t have improved my singing voice and reached my goals in life.

How to develop a burning desire to achieve success?
Hi Dia,
It is so true. Reaching our goals starts with a strong decision. A strong decision means for me that is gets a high priority on my goal list and stays there. It requires persistence to keep it there until it is accomplished.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Marc,
Exactly, a strong decision is very important to reaching our goals. Without making a solid decision, the chances are we will end up giving up as soon as we encounter an obstacle. Once we make a strong decision, then we are on our way to achieving our goals with consistent work and persistence. Thanks Marc
The truth is,..when we want to reach our goals, the biggest obstruction standing between our goal is we ourselves. There can not be a bigger obstruction. It is like this..you are flowing in a river and you never got to merge with the ocean because you got yourself stuck in some rock in between…

Maybe the most effective way to achieve our goal is to never give up, even with a slightest chance that we can achieve our goal is enough to keep going.

Motivation is the key to success if you want to achieve your desired goals. And never giving up in any circumstances is also an important aspect in achieving goals.

Hi Jason,
Motivation is crucial. One of the best ways to get motivated is to focus on our goals and vision in life. The more we focus on what we want, the more we stay motivated and we will reach our goals. Thanks Jason

Dia,
How have you been? It has been a while!
Anyhow, some great points here. Goals are important and many people fail in their goals because they do not approach them the correct way.
Like you said the first few steps is getting your “head strait” Visualizing success. thinking positively and defining what you want. Personally I would add making a concrete plan. IE writing it down and if it is a big goal, breaking it into mini-goals and steps to get there.
The last two are where the rubber hits the road. Taking action. I am a big one on planning, but the best plans in the world are not worth the paper they are written on unless you take action and [persist..even through possible failure.

Hi Scott,
Yea it has been long my friend. I agree once we start visualizing our goals and then when we take action and persist, we will reach our goals. The key is to think and expect the positive and to work on our mentality. Thanks Scott

Great points here in your post Dia. Reaching goals takes a certain mindset and also a certain recipe to follow.
I also find that being flexible as opposed to rigid helps with reaching our goals.

Hi Justin,
Being flexible is for sure crucial. If we are rigid with our ideas, then we will encounter many and unnecessary obstacles along the way. Focus on your goal and be flexible is a must if we want to reach our goals. Thanks Justin

Great posts and 5 simple steps that will move you along fast. I would get accountability of your goals and plans to someone. If you can attached massive pain and pleasure to your goals – aka Anthony Robbins style. That will often help you to stay discipline.
Once my goals and plans and all are done, I always just focus on a few steps a day. Small steps are fine as well. Rome was not built overnight is one of my favorite quotes.
BTW Dia, do join in the debate I have on my site now on personal development in schools. Love your opinion on that.
Cheers

Hi Jimmy,
Focusing on our goals and taking daily steps are two great ways to achieve what we want. If we spend an hour a day working on our goals that is an hour closer to what we desire.
Thanks Jimmy

Wonderful tips Dia, you always come through for us.
I totally agree with Bryce on this one. You aren’t full of any fluff, you just share with us what needs to be done. No beating around the bush and just telling us like it is. You bring so much clarity into our lives whenever we may be struggling with what the right steps should be or get to where we need to be. I’m still reeling from the visualization post you wrote. I loved that and found it so helpful.
Thanks you Dia for helpful and oh so valuable advice. I look forward to seeing what you share with each time.
Have a wonderful day!

Hey there, thanks for commenting on my blog by the way.
This is a great article. While there is a lot of good ideas here, my favorite is probably #2.
The little anecdote about Donald Trump is spot on – if we want something, we need to keep positive and expect that it will happen.
There is a mystical kind of process that goes on when we first create an idea. It’s almost as though we are creating a little pathway in the universe for that idea to come into fruition in reality. It’s a wonderful thing.

Primarily, making the decision and keeping an optimistic approach regarding the goals and final result will have to be the very first steps in reaching success. We have to know what to expect and we have to be ready for good things happening to us.

Hi Dia,
Great tips for meeting our goals and being successful in life. “3.Develop your mentality” This one stands out for me. For many people I believe they do give up because they really don’t believe in themselves strong enough. If we build our self-esteem to a higher level we see ourselves as winners. With low esteem, we can not visualize reaching our goals. “If you don’t think you can do it, you won’t.” If you know you can do it, you Will”! Believing you can reach your goals and love yourself can make things happen.
Thanks Dia for the goal tips. Megan needs a little more self-esteem and than using these tips and following them will get her where she wants to go.

Yes I totally agree with you… Reaching your goals need self determination and motivation too… Sometimes, it is a human nature to give up, but when you are determined enough to reach your goal, you will do everything to succeed.

I also find it’s a good idea to stay strong and be ready for criticism. People are going to tell you you’re crazy, wasting your time or have a poor or crappy service. Don’t listen to them and keep pushing forward with your goals. I’ve been told many times I would never make anything from Blog engage and now it’s been three years and our community is rocking!
