Setting Goals - It Transfers Over

It’s a simple point. If you’re good at something, you can be good at a lot of things. I want you people to tell me and yourself right now, one thing that you are good at. It could be a mental skill, like crossword puzzles or a physical skill or a life skill like parenting or an internal skill like the ability to observe well or listen well.

Now, let’s look at how you got good at something. It may have been something that crossed your mind to do because it looked and felt like a good thing to do.  And it may have been something that you had to do because you were forced to cope with a stress to get something done so you got good at it.

No matter how you got good at something, when you got there you felt a sense of accomplishment, a sense of knowing that you could do it well. You used the skills that millions have used to succeed.

I am now telling you that if you duplicate the attitude and the activities of those who are successful, you will become successful.

And who is successful?

You are.  You just named something that you do well.  You got good at something by putting in time practicing.  And you hopefully liked what you were doing.  These two things are all it takes.

1) Start to enjoy a wider scope of things. - Don’t go into a new thing with the attitude that you don’t like it.
2) Let yourself put in some time at things. - 3 week, 3 month and 1 year goals.

Use the tools above to achieve any goal. Learn to like a new challenge.

Be consistent. Give it a little time. Start with a good plan. Be around people who are successful at what you want to succeed at. Put a smile on your face and get something done today. Enjoy your small successes. If you don’t do well this day or this week. Go on. Adjust your plan and go on.  Look at the long rhythm. And once you get good at more than one thing, you realize that you can really be good at many things.  That is why you see people who are successful in many areas.  You can and will be successful in many areas of life if you do the 2 things stated above.  Give it time. And learn to like it. And if you can’t like it, get it done anyway if you need to reach the goal. You’ll feel good later. 

Hear me now, believe me later.  You are a success machine where and when you want to be.  Stay in touch with yourself and pick good goals and paths of activity.  Fight the good fight. You will get knocked down.  The goal is to get back up, make adjustments and move forward.
