How Realistic Are Your Personal Goals?

Goal setting is very important, but it must be done with realistic personal goals. You cannot expect to make a million dollars sitting at a desk all day and twirling your thumbs. It would be wonderful, it is a nice thought, but realistically, you must take the necessary steps to get the end results you want. You have a desire and you have the ability to make that desire come true. You just have to figure out how to do it. You can be a millionaire if you want to be. You just need to take the steps to position yourself to be one. If others have done it, so can you!

You already have a list of your ideal personal goals and dreams, write them down. With this, you have, in a sense a picture of the treasure chest you want to find and get to. You just have to figure out how to do it.

Okay, so you take out your list. You have written that you want to own real estate. You want to refurbish foreclosed properties and rent out apartments. Trump's logic of making money from real estate really sits well with you. You are in with your personal goals.

With the money you make off the numerous properties you own, you will be able to travel the world, and work when you want. Your will love your work and you will have a family, with children and the home of your dreams overlooking a peaceful, placid lake. You can picture it all clearly.

This is the first step to making it happen.

Some people go their whole lives and never even know what they truly want, what would make them happiest. You have already done something that some people will never ever do. This took work, this took soul searching, this took believing in yourself, and it all calls for a well-deserved validating moment.

Breathe in, you can keep going. You can make all your personal goals come true by improving yourself.

Now make another list. This one will list point by point, in order, every single step that needs to be taken to accomplish your personal goals. This is a challenging task because at every step, it is easy to fall prey to the fearful voices in your mind. If or when this occurs, stop, put down your pen and envision the picture of your dream. Do this until you are breathing calmly again, until you feel at peace. Then begin again. You can get through the whole list. Persevere, push through, you are worth the effort it takes to make your personal goals, personal dreams come true!
