We all want to be successful in our goals and it’s these goals that put meaning into our lives – give us something to strive for and help better ourselves. But have you ever tried to reach a big goal with giving up as the end? Have you started working towards your goal but over time felt that it’s just too high a mountain to climb – how are you ever going to reach the top? Have you ever experienced the feeling that you’ve spent so long trying to achieve your goal but felt you’ve got nowhere with it? If this is you then you’re not alone. It's probably the biggest reason I have always struggled to set goals. We are built to naturally see the problems and easily punish ourselves for bad behaviour. Poor performances are quickly condemned in our minds and guilt can rise to the surface. Our mindsets can bring us down when we feel we’ve failed and this usually results in giving up on dreams and goals. So what is the secret to achieving these goals? This is something I'm really looking into right now, since I'm working on #theliaproject, which is all about regaining my health and how I feel about myself. Over the last couple years I've been on a downward spiral in terms of actually taking care of myself and as such, have gained about 30lbs. So I committed to myself, PLUS I have a BIG college reunion coming up this year so I want to look my best, to do what it takes to overhaul the bad habits I've picked up. So the question is how to successful people make huge achievements all the time? What makes them so different? One thing I found is that they Celebrate Small Wins The key to success is realising that our big goals aren’t going to happen overnight, in the next week or maybe even the next year but this is okay. If your like me, we tend to focus on the end goals rather than the small and significant steps we take to get us to that goal. So, I decided to set small mile markers along the way with rewards. Heres my first one, after I complete my 21 Day #danielfast and #kitcharicleanse and loose 20lb! What goals are you working towards right now and what small rewards do you have planned along the way?
