The Three Keys To Reaching Your Goals

The Three Keys to Reaching Your Goals

So many of us try to set and reach our goals only to fall flat on our faces and get discouraged. Sound familiar? It has happened to me and I am sure to many of you. Why is that? What makes us so pumped up to accomplish things and then run out of steam half way through until we read the next book or attend the next seminar? I believe it is because we are looking outside of ourselves for motivation. No one can motivate you. They can inspire you, encourage you and build you but they can’t motivate you. YOU are the only person who can motivate you so that the passion to succeed will last. We don’t like to hear that. We would rather have someone else show us how to succeed or give us a pill that will make us handsome or rich. Life isn’t like that. We are all powerful creators because of our minds and we have to learn to motivate our conscious mind and our subconscious mind. I believe there are three keys to help us do this so we can set and reach our goals.

1.     Desire: We most have a desire to see changes in our life and a desire to accomplish our goal. That comes from inside you and not from some speaker. You must have the passion and desire burning inside of you so that you can succeed.

2.     Decision: We most make a decision to accomplish the goal we have set for ourselves. Without a decision the desire won’t work. We have to decide that come hell or high water we are going to accomplish what we set out to do as long as it is attainable.

3.     Determination. Once we have the desire and have made the decision we then must determine in our souls that we will see it through. Obstacles may come our way but our determination to succeed will help us create the path of least resistance in our lives and show us the way forward. Too many of us give up at this point. We have the desire, we made the decision, but when something pops up that snips at our passion we lose our determination and go back to where we were before. We all know the stories of the great people who persisted in the midst of unspeakable obstacles. What kept them going? Determination.  So challenge yourself today with these three points and you will have a lot more success in achieving most of your goals.
