Take Giant Steps With Smaller Encouraging Goals

Nobody likes disappointments and in life it's pretty difficult to avoid them. One thing that everyone wants to have all of the time is a pleasant experience. 

Everyone loves encouraging experiences. The excitement gotten from it usually pushes one to continue doing that which gives him or her pleasure.

Unfortunately, this is also the same thing that pushes people to do wrong things in life. For example, cheating on one’s spouse through illicit love affairs, stealing funds from one’s employers, armed robbery, serial killings, paedophilia, rape, etc.

On the road to success, fame or wealth, there is a need to take giant and rather ambitious strides that will lead us to our final destination, but there is also a need to set smaller goals in between to boost our confidence to move ahead till we get there.

Achieving smaller goals where a larger one lies ahead gives us enough encouragement to carry on. Whenever we encounter challenges or set backs, we can look back on the many smaller goals achieved and know that this one or these few setbacks are just temporary.

As you read this piece and the previous posts on this blog, you certainly must have had a burning desire on something you want to achieve in life. That is your final goal. There are smaller goals in between that you would need to get past in order to get to your final destination.

Create a quiet time and ask yourself what those smaller goals are, put them in writing and place where you can see it at least twice a day – first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

For every one of the smaller goals you achieve, tick it off on the sheet you have placed in writing. As author John Maxwell advises, celebrate your achievement of every one of the smaller goals. Do this especially with people who have always and continue to encourage you in your ambition.

You’d be amazed at the morale booster this would have on helping you to forge ahead until you get to where you want. 

Such often overlooked little things make the difference between someone who is focused on achieving his goals and someone who loses hope at the slightest obstacle.
