Each and every successful people, use 'Goals' to attain the knowledge and wealth they have today. They have purpose in life. You might agree or you might not with that statement, I leave that entirely up to you.
You probably wonder; “I have set goals, then why I haven’t reach the level of success that I desire”. The reason people find it too hard to achieve their goals is simple because they've set their long-term goals before setting short-term ones, or they just didn't plan their goals out carefully.
It is very important to apply just the right strategies in setting our goals, especially if we want to achieve our long-terms goals.
The following are 5 goal setting techniques we can immediately apply to help us realize our true goals. But, in order to really taste the juice of this tips is we have to keep our mind open. So, with that said, lets get started!
1) Set Our Short-term Goals First
It is more often done automatically. Most of the time we unconsciously set our short-term goals.
We may have considered the goals to be long-term at the time we planned them; and soon after achieving those goals, we realize that we actually looking forward to a longer one.
Some of us are contented with their short-term goals, but after a while will realize that we also need to attain long-term ones.
Short-term goals are our starting point for the long-term ones. They could motivate us to plan for longer goals, which will usually take some time before achieving them in full.
2) Do You Really Want It?
Ask yourself: "Do I really want this? Will this goal give me a better life?"
This is important, because by answering such question we can tell if our current goals is for real or just a ‘fake’ goals. If you really want your goals, they will give you more passion and motivation to achieve your goal.
Some people often have to recall their past to find out Why and How they came up with such goal.
3) Share
Don’t keep our goals to ourselves only. By sharing your goals with other people, especially our loved ones, it'll help us getting the support we may need in order to fulfill them.
Some people are just too shy to tell others about their dreams for reasons like they are afraid they cannot achieve them in the end, or they lack the courage to speak their minds. This is one habit that you have to change. Because when the time comes that you really need their support, you will have a difficult time getting it.
You'll then be left to achieve your goals all on your own, which is only making it harder.

4) Write Them Down
It is a very simple technique, and that is probably why it is often neglected. This strategy is critical and more advisable for those who have a long list of goals.
After writing them down in as much detail, it is advisable that you review them on a daily to weekly basis because this will encourage and motivate you to achieving them, plus, this will also keep that vision of your goal alive.
5) Never Give Up!
Don’t ever lose track. Stay on course! While on track, you may have to face challenges that might change your personality. Reviewing notes will help open your mind to see if you are on the right track.
A person who is overconfident might all of a sudden feel depressed after coming to know that he is going the wrong direction in achieving his goals. Thus this might lead to abandoning the goal. Never be discouraged. Facing obstacles is a test on how passionate you are to realizing your goals.
