"We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success" Henry David Thoreau
I am one of those people who needs to have a specific goal set in concrete or it just ain't gonna happen... (not the way I want it to happen anyway)
As much as I dream about it and think it will happen..being the never ending optimist that I am.. I just seem to get sidetracked. You you think that because I lean towards the positive end rather than the negative, I shouldn't have too much trouble. Far from it I'm afraid.
When working I find I can easily get sidetracked from the job I am supposed to be working on and usually end up with 2 or 3 things going at once and achieve none of them. The exact opposite will happen when I am under pressure to finish a project by a certain time, I usually come through pretty well. Another time I was completing a 12 week body challenge and I stayed completely on track from start to finish with great success.
My point is it always helps to have a goal. Not just a wish list, but something that is achievable in a period of time. Write it down, have a picture that you can see everyday so the vision is not lost along the way. Ask for help- have a coach or mentor-someone that you are accountable to.
Ask yourself what is the reason you want to achieve this goal. That answer is probably going to be the real reason behind your success.
