10 Tips To Help Achieve Your Worthy Goal

Achieving a Worthy Goal is not easy.  We need to consistently set and achieve specific goals if we want to achieve great success and be the very best we can be.  Following are some Tips and Suggestions to help us Successfully Achieve our Goals:

1. Write your Goal down on paper.  Be specific.  Set and write down a Target Date.  Included with this should be the personal reasons why you are setting this Goal, the challenges and obstacles you have identified that you will need to overcome if you are to achieve your Goal, and, in precise detail, all of the Benefits and Advantages to be had when you successfully achieve the Goal.
2. Do not loose #1.  Refer to it often for a refresher and reminder as to why you are expending the great energy that you are (or should be!) on a daily basis to move you toward the successful achievement of the Goal.
3. Adopt and Maintain a Positive Mental Attitude.  This takes work.  Self-doubt, negative thoughts, pessimism; these trouble-makers will undoubtedly hurt you and your Goal-Achieving efforts.
4. Expect the unexpected and expect to overcome the unexpected without ever being thrown off course.  Life is unpredictable.  Sometimes things happen at the worst possible times.  One curve-ball or one set-back will not the not-truly-committed off-course.
5. Be Steadfast.  I've always loved that word!  Maintain a clear focus and keep your eye on the Goal and the Benefits to be had that you memorialized in Step 1 and keep mentally strong; nothing can keep you from achieving your Goal unless you let it happen.  Again: Be Steadfast.
6. Earn and benefit from the support of those around you.  If sacrifice is required that impacts the lives of your Family or your Closest Friends, then you need to educate them and enlist their support.  You will need their support and their motivation when life gets tough, you feel overwhelmed, and achievement of your Goal lay in jeopardy.  Help Family and Friends understand the sacrifices you are making and the commitment you are making by openly sharing with them why you're doing what you're doing and what you are going to gain by achieving your Goal.  Nothing is more important than our Family and our Friends.  We need them and their support.
7. Keep Healthy.  We need Great Energy to be able to pursue our Goals Relentlessly.  Great Energy is a direct result of Living a Healthy Lifestyle: eat well; exercise daily; minimize stress; embrace healthy habits.  The more difficult and challenging a Goal is the more Energy we need.  Continuously educate yourself on how to be as healthy as possible and live according to that knowledge.
8. Make the Process Fun.  Life is Short.  Enjoy and Respect the difficult journey often necessary to achieve a Worthy Goal. 
9. Let each successive successful step that brings you closer to achieving your Goal inspire you and provide you with some positive motivation to help continue to carry you forward, remain committed, stay focused, and ultimately Reach That Goal!
10. Don't give up.  Never give up.  Nothing truly great has never been achieve without great sacrifice, commitment, dedication, and resilience. 

"Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination." Fitzhugh Dodson
