The Life-Changing Power Of Setting Meaningful Goals

It's not always easy to stay motivated when you're trying to achieve a goal. Some experts say that the "goal" itself should be enough to inspire unwavering diligence toward achieving it...and there is an element of truth in that. However, the reality is that the discomforts of striving for a particular goal can sometimes cause us to lose focus.

Want to get in shape, save for a large purchase, "make the grade" in your studies? Don't worry...whatever you're trying to accomplish, the following tips can help you stay motivated and on track.

Set Meaning Goals

Only when you feel that the goal is of huge importance to changing your life for the better is it a meaningful goal. Another way to figure out if the goal is meaningful enough is your emotions. Do you feel a thrill at the idea of attaining your goal? A goal that is meaningful will make you think harder, work longer, and be more willing to work through obstacles.

Visualize the End Result

Can't you just see yourself pounds lighter and fitting into a nifty outfit? The key question is how do you imagine yourself "feeling" Healthier? Sexier? More self-confident? When you develop the ability to visualize your goals and imagine what the end results will be, you are more likely to stay motivated.

Many people have found it helpful to compose a "dream board" which is an arrangement of images representative of the goal. For instance, if you were saving money for a tropical beach vacation, then you'd get some travel brochures or create a collage of pictures from a magazine of blue ocean, palm trees, exotic fruit drinks...you get the picture!

Set Intermediate Goals and Reward Yourself for Small Victories

It's human to want results now. However, some worthwhile goals may require a great deal of effort and time to accomplish. Don't let that deter you. By setting smaller goals, you can work on each step that will eventually add up to big results in the end.

And don't forget to reward yourself when you reach small milestones along the way. Knowing that there are little "treats" along the journey to your goal will keep you excited and motivated.

Draw Inspiration from Others

Sources of inspiration to stay motivated can come from success quotes, lyrics, movies that depict people who attained their dreams through hard work or even speaking with others who have achieved what you're working toward. If they could do it...so can you!

If your focus begins to fade or you skid on a patch of discouragement, you may find it helpful to identify an accountability partner who will encourage you to stay the course. And, in instances where your partner is also striving toward an accomplishment, you'll experience the magic of motivating each other toward success.

Visualizing the end result, celebrating small victories along the way and drawing inspiration and encouragement from others are three powerful, easy-to-implement methods of staying motivated toward reaching your goals. So, go for it!

Setting meaningful goals, if done right, can be a life changing experience for you.

Doodle Track $14.99 Back in the day, hardly any toys we had were fancy and semi-intelligent. Unless you count that creepy talking bear. We have fond memories of a wooden toy box full of wooden toys, including the components to make our own racetracks for our tiny cars. But there was a problem. We were always disappointed by the click-together race car tracks. Ovals just aren't inspiring, you know? And let's face it, toy designers didn't give you much to work with when it came to those "design your own track" kits. There were never enough crazy hairpin turns or loop-dee-loops! Ever try to make your name out of racecar track? Pretty impossible. With the Doodle Track, your geekling will not have to suffer with uninspired tracks like you did. All you need is a black marker and the sky is the limit! Draw the track and the race car will follow automagically.

Fast Track $138 Fast track was conceived as a mundane procedural mechanism to enhance the president's credibility in negotiating complex multilateral trade agreements by streamlining the congressional approval process into an up-or-down vote in return for enhanced congressional oversight. It allows the President to negotiate international trade agreements knowing that Congress will provide a timely vote on the agreement without amendments. Given its seminal importance to the trade debate, however, fast track has acquired greater significance and controversy. This incisive text examines: whether fast track is an evolutionary advancement in U.S. international economic agreements or an end-run around the constitutional treaty provision; whether it is a reflection of the shared constitutional powers of Congress and the President in the area of foreign affairs or an unconstitutional abdication of Congress' power to regulate foreign commerce and its ability to set its own procedural rules; whether fast track is needed to put the United States on even footing with other nations that have efficient international agreement approval mechanisms or a unique U.S. ratification short-cut not found elsewhere; whether there is a better way for the United States to approve and implement trade agreements; whether the arguments of the left and right on fast track need a new focus; and, whether there is a role for the states to play in U. S. trade policy formation. "Fast Track" argues that the time has come for the United States to end its perennial debate over the process by which we approve international trade agreements - i.e., whether to resort to fast track or not - and begin a debate on how best to prepare American citizens to compete in a globalized world. There are signs that the United States is not ready and may even be falling behind. Without question, this book can help formalize a requisite national strategy.
