HOW TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS IN 2016 AND BEYOND
Hello guys, on behalf of the entire Souq Grandeur team, I’d like to wish you a happy and fruitful new year. I hope you have great goals set for this year as there is no other way to fruitfulness outside the setting of goals.
Please note that I’m not just talking about your new year resolutions here but the setting real and practical goals for yourself, family and business this year. If you haven’t set those goals yet, this is a good time to do so.
If you have set your goals, here are a few pointers on how to get them achieved:
1.) Put time lines on them: when you’re setting goals, you must always ensure that you put estimated completion dates right beside them. This speaks to your subconscious and puts pressure on you to get to work.
2.) Make your goals plain, simple and ensure you put them somewhere you can see them as often as possible. Please don’t write your goals in some old diary and put them in your shelf. You’ll loose track of them if you do this.
3.) Make sure you invest time everyday on them: For me, I like to tackle my most difficult/most important tasks (goals) first because they’re the easiest to procrastinate. You don’t have to rush things, that’s why you’re starting now (early in the new year). It’s all directed at pacing yourself and having fun while working on your goals. An old adage says; ” the easiest way to eat an elephant is a bite at a time”. Just keep at it everyday and before you know if, it’s done.
4.) Keep a positive attitude: When trying to achieve goals, your attitude determines a lot. The reason is that while working on your goals, you will meet obstacles and all sort of challenges. A bad attitude will only make bad situations worse. It’s all a matter of perspective. You must remain positive. If a particular task is getting you all worked up, please, TAKE A BREAK from it for a few days but keep meditating on it. Before long, the answer will come to you.
5.) Maintain your connecting to God: These days, most people live their lives outside of the one who knows all the answers and that’s just so unfortunate. Life can be cheap if you’re connected to the source. This is not a spiritual call but the truth is, we are just too limited as humans and we really need help in carrying out our daily routine. There are just too many factors beyond our control but when we’re in sync with God, He helps us navigate through every confusing situation.
I have no doubt that if you follow the tips above, your success this year is guaranteed and more than the years before now, you will experience fruitfulness beyond your wildest dreams.
Once again, go and have a fruitful 2016.
Cheers
AYO
