Personal Development Goals

Setting Your Goals With A Positive Attitude

Setting goals will help you achieve what you want in life. Simply flying by the seat of your pants won't get you to where you want to go. You need to have a definite plan.

It is also helpful to make a timeline in which you want to achieve your plan.

Set your goal, then divide it into smaller, more attainable goals. This makes it possible to see where you are in the progress of your plan.

When you can see that you are making progress, this helps to keep you motivated to complete your goal.

Whether you use a chart or day planner, divide your goals into daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly steps. Then go to work on it.

Each time you complete a part of your goal you feel a sense of accomplishment while moving a little closer to what you want.

You need to have a positive attitude in order to succeed at your plan. If you are having difficulty getting things done, look at what could be the cause. Are you sabotaging yourself?

If you feel unsure of yourself and your ability to reach your goal, you may be dragging your feet about working on your steps. Just remember, it is better to fail at something than never to try at all.

If you know what you want, but you are afraid to try because you don't think you have the knowledge or training for it, then take courses and trainings that will help you.

Look for ways to overcome anything standing in the way of what you want. Setting goals is a necessary step to get you on track to where you want to be.

I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was:

How to Discover What You Really Want and How to Get It [Paperback]

Customer Review:
"A life without direction is a life without passion," says motivational specialist, therapist, and career counselor Barbara Sher. In I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was, a sort of broader, less dense, and less intimidating version of What Color Is Your Parachute?, she reveals how to "recapture long lost goals, overcome the blocks that inhibit your success, decide what you want to be, and live your dreams."

This is a perfect book for new college graduates or anyone sick and tired of languishing in a dead-end job or relationship--yet reluctant to make drastic life changes due to uncertainty about what would actually inspire them.

I Could Do Anything combines the I'm-not-buying your-excuses inspiration of Dr. Laura Schlessinger with the soothing, analytic encouragement of Dr. Martin Seligman in his classic Learned Optimism. In other words, Sher will pick you up off your butt and get you moving. She's included enough self-analytical exercises in here to save you hundreds of dollars in therapy.

Whether you're looking to make improvements in your job or personal life, Sher will teach you how to determine what your goals are, and how to successfully reach them--even if right now the only thing you know is that you're vaguely to very unhappy and haven't the foggiest idea what to do with yourself.

The Golden Rules of Self Motivation:

I was taught at a very young age to live by the Golden Rule. I think it is the most important rule on the face of this earth, and in Heaven.

When you have a goal, and stick to it, the most important person you are helping, is yourself.

Others may not always respond, but live it anyway. I think that once we have that on our side, we can learn to adapt to new plans, and goals.

Once you have your goals in mind, put it to action. Action is the most important part of a plan. We must motivate ourselves in order to achieve anything.

Sometimes a little encouragement from others doesn't hurt. Stop punishing yourself for life that didn't go your way. Always try to pick up the pieces, and go on.

I know, sometimes that's very hard. You will need to take the risks, and stay with them, if you are looking to succeed.

Set yourself a time limit on each task. You usually know how much time certain things will take you, and you need to set a time frame for them. Setting time limits will help you not dawdle during each one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by; but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by.

Achieve Anything In Just One Year:

Be Inspired Daily to Live Your Dreams and Accomplish Your Goals [Paperback]

Product Description

This is a self improvement, motivational and personal development book that is designed to be read on a daily basis. One page a day for one year. Each page starts with an inspirational quote, followed by a discussion of that day's topic, and ends with a task or an assignment for the reader to follow.

Achieve Anything in Just One Year equips readers with the tools to:

* Be truly committed. Don't just go through the motions - act like you're making a promise to your company, or to your best friend.
* Be specific. A resolution like "I want to lose weight" is easier to ignore than "I want to lose five pounds by March."
* Set a deadline. A timeframe equals commitment and helps quantify success.
* Avoid overwhelming yourself. You may want to lose weight, quit smoking, achieve moderation with martinis and cut up your credit cards all at once, but let's get real. Focus on a limited set of goals and plan on taking stock mid-year.
* Change one thing at a time. Recognize that change is hard. Wait to achieve one goal before starting on the next.
* Be realistic. Taking charge of a fitness regimen is a realistic goal, while exercising seven days a week may not be. Don't set yourself up for disappointment with lofty goals.

The idea is to take daily action that creates a ripple effect in your life.

By transforming your life with small steps, you can stay motivated, focused and balanced. Best of all, you will feel happier about pursuing your personal success.

Get the Edge: A 7-Day Program To Transform Your Life [Audiobook] [Audio CD]

Customer Review:
5.0 out of 5 stars "Great stuff"
By J. Senter (Connecticut) -

Depending on where you are at in your life this may have a lot to offer you. I wasn't all that familiar with Anthony before my co-worker said "Hey, I got this at a tag sale, see if there's anything you want to listen to".

I took to it immediately. I felt charged to make major changes. I also thought "Wow, what a great guy. Genuine, really out to make the world a better place."

I asked around to see if my friends had heard of him and all I got were negative comments about him being annoying and conceited. I can't imagine they have actually listened to him because he is far from those things in my eyes.

Have they heard his messages??? Through these discs, Anthony gives solid actions you can take to improve the quality of your life. It is a step by step guide.

I found no part of it unreasonable. It makes so much sense. It's great even when things are going well as motivation to continue on the path that is making things work for you.

You Can Motivate Yourself To Accomplish Your Goals

Self motivation can be a difficult thing to learn. Some people seem to have a knack for keeping themselves busy and motivated, while others may really struggle.

It is important to have respect for yourself and believe in yourself. You need to believe that you are worthy and can accomplish anything you want.

If you are having a hard time finding the motivation to get things done, it can be helpful to talk to someone else about it. However, you need to learn to motivate yourself.

Don't rely on someone else to do it for you or you will never truly accomplish what you want. It has to come from inside you.

Don't listen to those people who tell you that you cannot do something. They are probably someone who is not doing what they want to do, and they don't want anyone else to succeed either.

You must be strong and make a conscious effort to be motivated and reach your goals. In the end, you will be much happier.

Look for things that interest you. Don't follow others and do what they are doing just because you think it looks like a good thing to do. Or because someone else thinks that you should do it.

It is difficult to feel motivated to do something that you don't care about.

When working toward a goal, don't let yourself become discouraged if things don't always go the way you thought they would. Keep your thoughts positive.

If you need to make adjustments to your plan, that is fine. Sometimes it can be difficult to stay motivated, but you must keep on going and don't give up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now.

With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”

Mark Victor Hansen
