The Importance Of Goal Setting And Planning
Tell me, would you plan a wedding without all the fine details? What about take an exotic vacation without first making plans or setting some goals? Coaches don't just send their players out on the play field without first establishing a plan. So why is it that we go through life sometimes and not have a clear vision as to what we want out of it?
By setting the goal and making the plan plants a vision in your mind and also your subconscious mind. During this process the subconscious mind is given a set of instructions to follow and carry out. It's not uncommon if your plan changes from time to time so long as you keep your mind focused on the goal. By doing so the plan will ultimately succeed.
To succeed in life you must set your goals, get a plan, follow it and stay focused. It is very important to remain focused or you'll lose sight. Once you lose sight of the goal, you will forget about the plan and before long everything will fall apart. Why is this? Because when you stop focusing on the goal, you are telling your subconscious that the goal is no longer important. So, the subconscious mind stops working on making your particular goal a reality.
Staying focus is not an easy task. Your mind is like a person of its own, as if it is completely separated from you. Even though you may want to do, be and achieve a certain thing, your mind will want to continue doing things the way it is use to. It will be stubborn and put up a great fight. Your mind will give you all kinds of resistance, even tell you to give up on your dreams.
So how do you get your mind to listen and agree to changes? By being persistent and staying committed by always thinking of your goals. Look for opportunities to embrace and welcome change. Make sure that you set realistic goals. Start small and acknowledge and celebrate your little successes constantly.
Finally, your mind will begin to understand and accept the changes and before you know it, your mind is working with the process and the cycle of your goals becoming a reality has started. Setting goals, getting a plan and staying focused equals success.
