Setting and achieving your goals is a crucial and extremely powerful process that helps you to shape your dream life. We all desire a better life, bigger income, exciting relationship, more free time to spend with people we love, but unfortunately only 5 percent of people achieve that. Why so few people fulfill their dreams? The reason is simple, they know exactly what they want and they know how to get it.

When most people are asked about their goals, they often say something like "I want to make a lot of money" or "I want to buy a new car". It is very similar to saying, "I want to arrive to some place nice!" without having a clue where this place might be and how to get there.

Goal setting process helps you to decide where you want to go in life and to choose the shortest road to your dream.

Planning is a key to achieving your goals faster and easier, because it helps you to stay focused and manage your time efficiently.

First step in setting and achieving your goal is to define it clearly and in greater detail. For example, if you want to buy a new car this is what your might write down, „I want to have metallic gray 2006 Lexus SC 430 convertible equipped with 4.3-liter , V8, 228-horsepower engine, Six-Speed Sequential-Shift Automatic and Rear-Wheel Drive."

Second step is to break this goal into smaller tasks or objectives, that will give you the better idea on how to achieve your goal. This process makes your goal seem more attainable, realistic and exciting.

Sometimes we get so caught up in everyday small tasks and worries that we forget about things of greater importance. This could distract you from achieving your goal and lure you from your course.

That's why it is important to decide on your priorities. For example, if you are worried about something, you have to ask yourself whether it will mater to you in a month. If not, just forget about it. It is another distraction that is not worth your immediate attention.

Remember the process of setting and achieving goals can be very effective and even exciting if you'll only apply and practice it on a daily basis. Sometimes you will achieve your goals shortly. Other goals take time and patience, but the result is always worth every effort.
