Many students have mental visions of a goal they want in life but never take the actions they need to achieve it. I’m here to tell you can how you can turn your dreams into realities.

Coming up with goals may be easy for some, but others don’t even know where to start. You may begin by asking yourself why you want it, and what will motivate you to make this change in your life. Never let the reason why you chose to achieve your goal leave your mind.

Breaking bigger goals into smaller parts makes them more manageable and more capable of getting done. The most important thing about making goals is setting the right time limits for when goals need to be achieved. By setting a time limit it helps to stay organized and structure actions that need to be taken. Dealing with and eliminating obstacles may be the hardest step in creating and achieving your goal.

What prevents you from achieving the goals you want? What excuses do you tell yourself that make you off track? Now take all your excuses and problems and tell your mind they’re unimportant and they do you no good in helping your current situation. Lots of students can admit and say they’ve wasted a lot of their time watching TV or browsing social media, but what if you instead took that time to work on your goal. Taking more time and effort towards your goal makes you more prone to achieving it. Another big part of making a goal is to look back to what you’ve already achieved.

What far-reaching goals have you achieved? What if I asked you what is the hardest thing you’ve ever accomplished? Recognizing you’ve achieved hard goals tells your mind that you’ve done this before and it wasn’t as difficult as you once thought. Reminding yourself of things you’ve already achieved gives you the motivation you need to handle the next goal you wish to meet. Sharing, monitoring, and rewarding yourself after your accomplishments play a big role in carrying out your goal.

Monitoring your success is very simple, yet it’s very important to know. Write things down, check things off, and pay attention to things that inspire you. Also, giving yourself daily rewards motivates you to keep up with your goal, and prevents you from slacking off. Make sure you assess coming obstacles to stay on top of your plan. Many benefits come from making, planning, and achieving a goal you’ve always wanted.

         Lots of advantages come from goal setting. Having goals gives your constant motivation with everything you do. Not only that, but you also have clarity in decision-making because you already know what you want. Goals give you a clear direction/destination to follow to keep you on track with all parts of your life. So, set your goals high and don’t stop until you get there
