5 Keys to Knock Your Goals

5 KEYS TO KNOCK YOUR GOALS

New year, new you-as what most of us young adults would gladly claim as we welcome another year in our lives. As we embark on another chapter, we excitingly welcome our goals will solidly slam for the year. These can be worldly, spiritual, aesthetic, or anything in between. We’ve heard a lot about the importance of goal-setting in our lives but have we asked ourselves how important these goals are, and if they are, how can we make them more effective? Are there any strategies we can do for the realization of these things? Where should we start? Well, here are the top 5 keys you need to do to knock those goals:

1. WRITE DOWN YOUR GOALS. – As cliche as it may sound, successful people recommend that writing down your goals will bring you a step closer to their realization. It’s an extension of the vision you had in mind that will remind you every day of the things you are vying for. These goals should be anchored to your why. And what are these “why?” These can be the people, experiences, or state acting as the reason you have built your goals. When writing/sketching down your goals, think of the things you’re dreaming of, make it specific, and anchor it with your why. Don’t be afraid to dream big-it’s always the big things that need wide leaps. Challenge yourself. Along the process, you’ll find yourself leaping wider than you used to.
2. POST IT. – After writing down your goals, pin them where you can see them most of the time. As an extension of the vision you had in mind, it’s only appropriate that you can visualize them every day. It’s just like pinning your list of groceries on the corkboard in your kitchen you should buy for the day.
3. TRACK BACKWARD STEPS. -Since you now have your goals posted, start tracking the small steps you need to do to hit them. Say, I wanted to travel to Japan on the day of my birthday. The first bullet I need to consider – I have to know how much does it cost to travel to Japan. Second, what are the things I need to have before getting there? Third, will I go alone or should I travel with a friend? Knowing these bullets will help you act on your goals effectively. Now that you know the cost of traveling to Japan, you need to cut off your monthly expense on the inessential to save up for your travel in 5 months. And so on for your other bullets.
4. BUILD YOUR HABITS. – Building a habit is the hardest of the steps you have to consider for knocking your goals. The excitement that you had when you envisioned your goals are slowly fading as the days grow old. And so you have intermittent habits. Keep benchmarks and hit it. Remember that good habits make the best routine, and the best routine grants a reward. Believe you can always ace it, and all else will follow.
5. PERSISTENCY. – Don’t forget that persistence is needed to achieve your goals. Mishaps are normal. Take them as a challenge to make you hunger for your dreams. Be persistent enough to end the match you’ve started. You’ll never know, tomorrow might be your win.

Keeping these keys in mind will surely help you achieve your goals. Have a strong mindset that’ll remind you why you should do such things. There will be days it’ll be hard but always be grounded on your why. Just be faithful to it, and believe you can do everything. And please, don’t forget to celebrate small wins. Appreciation adds sweetness to your life! Choose to be successful!
