Today we are going to talk about smart goal setting. This should be an essential aspect of every person's life, but for some unfortunate reason it's not. It's no secret that living from day to day with no clear purpose will never get you anywhere.

But how come that goal setting can make such a difference? Because the human brain tends to react only to those things you think about the most, the things you constantly repeat to yourself.

The good news is that we can program our brain to focus on those things that we care about and once you've actually written on paper something you really, really want and you're reading that every single day, you're going to get used to that idea and it won't seem like something impossible anymore.

Naturally, none of us possesses the ability to change the way things develop only with the power of our mind, without actually doing something for that purpose. But what's important is that reiterating your aspirations and plans will have a positive effect on your thoughts.

Planning and Setting Smart Goals

Plan your goals in steps of three months, six months, a year, ten years, decide what you need to do in order to accomplish them in due time and you will see how your life will start moving in the desired direction.

I'm sure that by now you've acknowledged the value of smart goal setting, but that is not enough, you have to take the next step, the one so few people actually get around to take, and write down your targets and aspirations.

Think about it, it is your life! You can mold it into whatever shape and form you desire. So write down a detailed description of how you want to live your life, remember to look at it regularly and take the necessary actions.

But smart goal setting tends to remain an abstract idea for over 99% of the population, although its beneficial applications should be more than apparent.

YOU should rise above the overwhelming majority!

The percentage of truly successful people will stay under 3% regardless of the amount of motivational literature and advice from experienced trainers available.

Why?

Because people are LAZY!

It may seem unbelievable that being lazy could be such a serious drawback, but it's true. While something looks good in theory, preparing to put it into practice could prove rather demoralizing up to the point where you give up because you find it too hard to do.

There will never be a right moment. Circumstances are always going to seem unfavourable and you just have to act no matter what things seem to be. If only you manage to score a few small victories, you will already have accomplished more than 99% of the population whose dreams of a better life still seem unreachable, and that should give you enough confidence to continue on your way to success.

An ideal is something to strive for with every action you take.

You deserve a better life! Start living it!
