You must have long term goals to keep you from being frustrated by short-term
failures.
Charles C. Noble
Imagine a nice juicy orange that you want to eat. Can you have it one gulp? Well, will you not take each slice and have it bit by bit. You not only get to eat the whole fruit but also enjoy it! The same rule applies to your goals. Breaking your goals make it easier for you to accomplish the tasks. Small things add up to big things and if you just keep leaning into your goal, you will eventually succeed. After all, a well- achieved goal is a series of small-accomplished targets.
Many a time when your goal is a large one you get disheartened, discouraging yourself that it is quite difficult to achieve. The feeling gets so intense that it travels through our conscious and sub-conscious mind portraying that it is too big for us to handle. But when you break it in small bits the goals will no longer seem overwhelming to you. While eating the orange you chew, taste, swallow a slice and then move to the next likewise focus on each slice of your goals. When you do this however big your goal is, you will be able to achieve it sooner then you think!.
Remember goals are rarely achieved in one single blow. For instance, you aim is to lose 10 kilos. You definitely cannot do this overnight. You need to break it; maybe you can lose 5 kilos in one month and the shed the other five kilos in the following month. You can build an exercise regimen around your daily schedule.
Likewise if you want quit smoking promise yourself that you will not smoke for another four hours, extend it then to ten hours, fifteen hours, a day, a fortnight, a week and so on. It’s a minute-by-minute struggle but trust me, with such determination and perseverance you will be amazed at the result.
Always commit yourself to doing at least five small things a day that move you in the direction of pursuing your goal. Large goals are made up of smaller goals. Break up your goals into as many small pieces as you can and make sure you complete a few of those tasks each day.
One reason most people don't reach their ambitions is that they fail to set small goals. Have goals, which you need to accomplish ever year, month, week, day and even minutes.
You may find that even half way to reaching your goal will become an entirely different goal altogether. Hence set small, easily achievable goals and break things down in bite-sized slices and you can do anything you want... anything.
