Top SIX Strategies for Goal Achievement

Life would be meaningless if we weren't gunning for something. And that something wouldn't be worth much if it wasn't worth our genuine passion and desire.

So what do you desire for? What do you want above and beyond everything? Are you ready to work single-mindedly for that which you absolutely desire to achieve? And most importantly - what are you ready to sacrifice to make that something appear in you your life?

TOP SIX STRATEGIES for Goal Achievement 

1) DECIDE: Like the Cheshire cat famously said in 'Alice in Wonderland', 'if you don't know where you are going, then it doesn't really matter which way you go.' To declare, I want a million dollars, is not a real goal. Seriously. Write down on paper - "I have a million dollars in my bank account". Read it aloud when you are alone and undisturbed, and ask yourself if this excites you. You might be surprised that just having a money goal is not as exciting as knowing how strongly you want it and what life would become if you had it. Get into the skin of your goal. Decide on your goal without a shred of doubt or embarrassment.

2) ABSORB: Are you single-mindedly focusing on those one million dollars every morning, night, and every moment you can spare? If not then your subconscious is not listening. And it is imperative for it to listen for those one million to appear in physical reality. We give way too much credit to our conscious living life. The key to goals is at the subconscious level. The conscious mind obeys the latter. Convince yourself that you deserve to own that much money, and convincing anyone else will be easy.

3) IMAGINE & FEEL: Once you are convinced of your goal, then allow yourself to imagine and feel all the feelings you would if your goal had appeared in your life. What would be your lifestyle? What kind of house would you own? Where would you vacation? Which car would you drive? Go into as many details of all the above and more as you can. Don't just think about it. Feelings are powerful motivators. Much more than thoughts. Feel your goal.

4) LIVE: If you did have that kind of money, would  you behave differently? You might be more generous to others and courteous to your family. Or fight and blame less because you are secure in life. Or take better care of your health. Would you enjoy life's experiences and live a full life? Would you enjoy this drive in your car more if it were a Ferrari? Try living your goals as if they were true.

5) BELIEVE: It is critical to believe this make-believe. The mind is susceptible to tricks more than you know. Just like you can trick it into thinking you aren't capable or worthy of acquiring an honest million dollars - you can just as easily trick your subconscious mind into thinking you are the best candidate to have such wealth. And the mind is an obedient servant. It does our bidding if only we used our privilege over the mind. We are intelligent...not the mind. Believe your goal now.

6) ACT: A million dollars generally don't come walking. Though if you have followed the above five strategies, they just might. I say that because all the above puts us in a powerful zone of achievement. Our mind and spirit are one with our chosen goal. So it doesn't take much time or effort to get into the physical part of goal achievement. You will feel inspired to take actions, decisions, and meet people that will move you closer to your goal.

If you think about it, most times we try and achieve goals in the reverse direction than the above six steps. Life could be superbly different if we did all the above things in the right order. Don't wait to be happy once you have achieved your goal - be happy now, so you can be ready to achieve your goal.
