How can you reach to your goal if you don't even know what that goal is? It's easier said than done. Motivation can take on many forms. We can all be motivated by different things.

There are things we find appealing, there are other things we get turned off by. No matter what your personal taste is, you need to figure out what it is that gets you off to a good start and keeps you there. In order to reach your goals you will need to do some work. There is no short cut.

When I set goals I make a list of them. The first thing I do is jot down my list of objectives and how I want to reach each goal. Then I decide where I am going to get started and what tools I am going to need. That is how you set yourself up for success. You plan ahead, and that is how you stay motivated.

Set one initial goal and go for it. Don't worry about falling short or making mistakes. Those things just happen when you are trying so hard. Focus on your outcome and you will find it much easier to focus on doing the things you have planned to do. You won't be tripped up or distracted by things going on around you.

You will find that once you have reached your main objective that reaching the next one is not that hard. That's because your plan is so sound and detailed. Now all you have to do is put together the details of the next part. You can make this part the same as the previous one or you can vary it from time to time. It really depends on how much freedom you want to give yourself to reach to your goal.

If you are having a hard time reaching one part, maybe just write down where you are and what you need to do each day or each week. That will give you a goal you can follow and get started with. Then as you see your success, you can add more of them as time goes by.

You also need to make sure that you are setting some boundaries within yourself. Find out what is your top priority and stick to it. There will be times when you fall behind on your commitments. That is okay because it is when you should pick yourself up and get right back on track.

Stay consistent in your daily practice of reaching your goals. Make sure that you know exactly what you have to do and when you have to do it. Stick with it and you will see results. When you don't if you are having any issues or problems, you should call your supervisor or your friend or anyone else that you trust to help you out. This will get you on track to having success.

Another good habit to form is to write down the things you are trying to accomplish. It could be losing weight, quitting smoking or learning a new skill for your career. Whatever it is that you are wanting to achieve, write it down. You can look at it again at a later time to see if you still had that same interest, or maybe it changed.

One thing that many people forget is to make sure they have a reward for reaching their goal. Whether it is something nice to eat, or a vacation, or even a gift card to a favorite store, it really does not matter as long as you have it. Just remember that reaching your goal is worth the reward. If you have a present from your supervisors or friends, or even from a family member, then that is great.

Once you have reached your goal you want to continue to push forward. This is why it is so important to write down your goals. You can go back and read it over several times to make sure you did it the right way. Sometimes we get so focused on reaching our goal, that we sometimes forget what we were going after in the first place. Write down your goals in a notebook or some other writing device so you can come back to them at a later time to check if you still agree with your goal. Be careful to check over this goal on a regular basis.

Remember that reaching a goal is not a race. It is simply a habit that needs to be formed over time. Stay consistent with your habits and they will become second nature to you. Reach for your goal when you are ready and do not give up.
