The best strategies for setting personal goals

The importance of having personal goals in life can not be overemphasized, especially when it is considered that having goals effectively helps us to stay motivated throughout the life journey. Unfortunately, many abandon the process of having many goals or do not even consider having ambitious goals for their professional and personal lives. However, just look at the incredible biographies of many successful people you will realize that each of them had a clear purpose in life and clearly established the goals, visions and desires they wanted to achieve throughout their lives.

I. Write your personal goals: when setting your goals, make sure you have a piece of paper and a pen in hand, the most important step is to write down your goals.

II. Achievable and not complex: It is a law of nature that can only be achieved by setting personal goals that are attainable and that you will most likely waste your time if your goal is to fly like a bird, without any type of machine. In addition, it is important that you do not establish goals that are too complex, instead it is better to divide them into several sub-objectives, in which you can concentrate one after the other.

III. Avoid needs: Set your goals, avoid needs by any means. Actually, nobody likes to look for objectives that we have to pursue out of necessity, so avoid them so that you can face your goals being motivated as much as possible. The objective that you have to have as a goal must be associated with joy, pleasure and fun. The most positive feelings that are capable of associating with this objective will have a better effect on the incentive and the inner will.

IV. Gratification to achieve your personal goals: Give a reward every time you have reached a certain goal. It is that simple but it is very effective, by rewarding yourself you provoke positive emotions and train your brain in the thought that "effort is equal to reward", which means that your will to do an action will increase with the to achieve that goal, since you have in mind the possibility of obtaining a reward.

"People with goals are successful, because they know where they are going. It's as simple as that"
