Setting goals

When they ask me what my ambitions are, a smile appears on my face and my heart starts to pound harder than ever. I got big goals in life. I got to be real with you guys. I have never ever had something big in my mind. I want to tell you how I started setting goals and how I changed my life. Maybe you will learn from it.

As you can read, this part is about setting goals. Let me tell you how I started setting my goals and how I motivated myself to be a live long learner. First of all ask yourself, "Is this what I want in my life?". Ask yourself "Is this my full potential?". I know that if you read this article, you are a person that is ambitious and that is a good thing.

Now let me tell you how you set goals. First always remember this quote for the rest of your life.

If you set your goal ridiculously high and it's a failure, you will fail above everyone elses success
James Cameron

Dare to think big. Where do you see yourself in 10 years or in 5 years. What is your biggest goal. Remember, don't be ever afraid about setting your goals ridiculously high. Now you know what your ultimate goal is, split it up into smaller goals. Once you have splitted your ultimate goal into smaller goals, now it is your time to shine. You will have times that will be so tough, you will have times were you will think you are going crazy, but remember what your goal is and what you have already achieved.

Journal

You know what helped me when I was having difficulties, writing in my journal. You know what I like about it, you tell your own story. Everybody has a story, but some people are to afraid to write about it. Don't be afraid to tell your story. It helps in developing yourself. You write daily about your problems, about your daily struggles.

In my journal I wright down my feelings of the day and my struggles. What I also write down is what I achieved and how I did that. If you write down your struggles, you can reflect on it and better it. Being successful, starts with bettering yourself. You know what Jim Rohn said.

You must take personal responsibillity. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself

What he also said, that really changed my way of thinking is,

Work harder on yourself than you do on your job

Working on yourself will be the start to great things.

Conclusion

What I have told you here is just the beginning of something great. What I wanted to make clear is to have an ambition and in order to accomplish this big ambition, you have to set goals. Make it small goals so you can take small steps to your beloved ambition.
