Successful people set goals and have a clear roadmap to reach the goal. Simply having a goal in life is not enough. We need to clearly know how we are going to reach the goal and what difficulties we are going to face on the path to our destination.
During the journey to our final goal, we will have to set numerous small goals. We need to be specific about these short-term goals. They need to be challenging. If you are thinking about studying a new language in six month – you need to set small goals like – I will learn the letters of the new language in a fortnight. Such specific and challenging goals will help you to reach the final destination on time.
Do not overwork – working longer is not going to take you to your goal soon. You will tire and break down. Soon you will be drained and you will see the goal getting farther and more difficult. Take frequent breaks. This does not mean you work for 30 minutes and do not return to your table for the next hour. Give small breaks in between work so that you are refreshed and recharged.
Successful people always remain in the company of positive people. They make it a point to be amongst people who are full of hope and energy. They never hesitate to ask for help. They have mentors. They seek advice and are good listeners. They remain connected to people who will help them achieve their goals.
It is good to develop a hobby or liking for something. Some people listen to music, play a musical instrument or keep pets. This will help you to focus more. You will be refreshed and you will be able to focus more.
Multitasking is not going to take you to your goal. It will only make the goal more difficult. Focus on a single goal at a time. Splitting focus will take your concentration away and this will result in delays and low quality work.
