It may sometimes seem daunting to those that set lofty goals.
It may seem so far out of reach that you think that you will never reach any of them.
Yet, being able to reach something small is much easier; so many people never set goals that will help them reach their dreams.
Here's the thing about goals, no person that ever set a worthy goal has thought it would be easy.
It's not.
Sure, it may seem scary, but there is a way for you to reach it.
In neurolinguistic programming (NLP) we talk about breaking things down to its parts.
This is known as chunking down.
Working on goals should be done the same way.
As you focus on the small things that will help you reach your goal, it will seem less daunting.
For example: my goal is to reach 1,000 articles by the end of 2010.
At first it may seem daunting, right? Now let's look at it this way - there are 365 days in one year.
As I write this article I have about two months left in 2009.
So let's add 60 days to the 365 which will bring the total days I have to 425.
I've already have 99 articles done, counting this one.
That will leave me 901 to go.
So let's divide the amount of articles I have to go by the amount of days I have left and see how many I have to do each day, okay? That would make it 2.
12 articles per day I need to come up with.
I'm going to focus on 3 per day.
Based on that, I will be done in about 300 days.
Now that seemed pretty easy, didn't it? It's all about chunking a big thing down to smaller pieces.
That way you will be able to take action without being overwhelmed.
Every goal should be looked at this way.
By focusing on what you can do on a daily basis, you'll be able to reach your goal one step at a time.
Every successful person has done it this way.
There is no giant leap in reaching a goal.
Sure you may have many times where there is acceleration, but most of the time will be these small steps.
Learn patience.
Here's the great part of going step-by-step, you find the journey to be more successful than actually reaching your goal.
Many Olympic athletes that have reached the top of the ladder suddenly saw that their goal was finally accomplished.
Once all the glamour was gone, so was their dream.
They enjoyed the journey more than the accomplishment.
I would advise you once you reach a worthy goal, set another one, okay? You will have that continuing journey the rest of your life.
And that is what real success is all about, not the final destination.
