When setting life goals, we must pay attention to:
First of all, your goal must be long-term.
Without a long-term goal, you may be knocked down by short-term setbacks. After setting long-term goals, don't try to overcome all obstacles at the beginning. Just like when you go out in the morning, you can't wait until the traffic lights at the intersection are green. When you cross the traffic lights one by one, you can not only go where you can see, but you can often see farther when you get there.
Second, your goal must be clear.
A hunter, when facing a flock of birds in a tree, if he can shoot down a few birds, then he is definitely not shooting them. The harvest of several birds must be the result of the hunter aiming at a specific target.
Third, you must aim high.
Once you set the goal of walking only 1 km, when you can't finish 1 km, you may feel tired and relax because you are almost there. However, if your goal is to cover 10 km, you will make all necessary preparations and mobilize all possible forces. Only when you walk 7 or 8 kilometers in one go can you relax yourself a little.
Fourth, you must practice your goal.
Your big goal in life doesn't have to be detailed and precise. As long as you have a clear direction and general requirements, for example, you are determined to be an outstanding scientist, a big entrepreneur or a politician who changes the world.
Basic principles for setting goals:
First of all, you must determine your goal and starting line. To get out of the maze, you need to know where you are besides a map and a compass.
When you finally sit down by yourself, you can ask yourself the following questions and write down the answers:
1? What kind of talents and gifts do I have?
(1) What do I do best?
(2) Can I do better than people I know?
2? What is my passion?
(1) What makes me so excited and particularly motivated to finish it?
(2) If so, what is this impulsive stimulus?
3? What makes my experience different?
(1) What have I done that is different from others?
(2) Does my unique performance give me special insight, experience and ability?
(3) What unusual things can I do?
4? What are the characteristics of my time and environment?
Ideals often come from the unique environment of life, geographical and political climate, and many factors such as historical, economic and cultural background may play a role. Write down everything that may affect your chances.
5? Who do I associate with?
The talent, talent and passion of the people you can work with will definitely bring you opportunities that you can't find alone.
6? What kind of satisfaction do I expect?
You know, the desire to meet certain needs can often stimulate people's ideals.
7? What is the greatest thing I can imagine and do in my life?
Once possible, you'd better do the above process once a year. If necessary, you can do it again after you finish.
After several years, you may find that your ideal has changed. If you hold on to the same ideal for several years, and you feel that this ideal is far beyond your ability, then you have probably set a good human physiological thought. In the years to come, you may find that this ideal will be slightly modified or supplemented, but it will not be completely changed.
Secondly, set aside a few hours to review what you have done recently (such as business).
The purpose of doing this is to discover new plans that you have never thought of before. In doing so, the guiding principle is the same as the first activity mentioned above:
Find a quiet place and bring the necessary supplies. Then, ask yourself the following questions and write as many answers as possible:
1? What talents, gifts or financial resources have I not used so far?
2? What impact may my special environment and times have on my work or career?
3? What chance can my answer bring to the last question?
4? If I have unlimited financial resources, I am sure that all my efforts will be successful. What is my business goal? Remember, you must aim high! )
5? Who among my acquaintances has similar goals with me? Can they and I help each other?
Second, you must clearly state your goals. Remember, when you express your goals in life, you must base yourself on your dreams and personal beliefs.
Third, decompose the overall goal into easy-to-remember target units.
There are many ways to express goals. Goals can be expressed in terms of performance (such as selling 1000 pieces of a certain product) or time (such as exercising three times a week 1 hour). Goals can involve all areas of life, depending on what you want to achieve. Napoleon Hill listed some possible target areas.
Personal development;
Good health;
Professional achievements;
Interpersonal relationship;
Family responsibilities;
Financial arrangements.
Write down your first goal. At first, you don't need to judge whether these goals can be achieved, and you don't care whether they are long-term or short-term. What matters at this stage is creativity and dreams. After writing down everything you can think of, check it carefully against your life goals. After that, you might as well ask yourself two questions:
Does one of its goals bring itself closer to the determined ideal?
If you find that any of these goals are inconsistent with your life goals and your ideals, generally speaking, you can have two choices:
1, get rid of it;
2. Re-evaluate your life goals and consider rewriting them.
The two must be one of them.
Secondly, have you written down two or five goals that must be achieved in order to realize your ideal?
This question can help you find out whether the goals you set have been achieved. If you find that your ideal requires you to achieve several other goals, write them down. When you have written down all your goals, you can start to make a successful strategy.
Fourth, your short-term goals should be not only inspiring, but also realistic.
Your short-term and medium-term goals should be as specific as possible and have specific time limits.
6. You must act. Otherwise, everything will become a fantasy.
Seven, you should regularly evaluate the implementation of the plan.
Evaluate your progress regularly, which is as important as your actions. With the progress of the plan, you sometimes find that your short-term goals have not brought you closer to your long-term goals; Perhaps, you may find that your original goal is not very realistic; Or you may feel that one of your long-term goals has not reached your ideal and ultimate goal in life. No matter what the situation is, you need to make adjustments. You can post the following sentence where it can attract your attention most:
"Will what I am doing now bring me closer to my goal?"
You should celebrate your achievements.
When everything comes true, you must remember to take some time to celebrate your achievements.
Napoleon Hill always believed in the reward system.
After you achieve the desired results, you should naturally reward yourself and be kind to yourself. Small achievement award, big achievement award.
But don't reward yourself by spending in advance before completing the task.
Most importantly, when you make great achievements, you must make the celebration of your success unforgettable.
How to customize your own priceless personal success plan
Napoleon Hill's theory of success provides you with a plan of "priceless personal success plan", and here we might as well provide it to you for your reference.
First of all, you should make what you want to learn clearly visible.
Make it clear what you want to achieve, describe it clearly and write it down, and then concentrate on achieving it.
Second, make a plan to achieve the goal and set a deadline.
You should work out detailed implementation steps and detailed timetable for your plan, and plan the progress in different periods, such as hourly, daily and monthly.
Never forget that organized work and persistent enthusiasm are the source of strength.
Third, you should be sincere about what you want to achieve in life.
Positive mentality (PMA mentality) is the driving force of all human activities. The desire for success will implant "success consciousness" into you, and then cultivate stronger and stronger success habits.
Fourth, you should have unlimited trust in yourself and your abilities.
No matter what you do, you must have confidence in absolute success.
You should always consider your strengths rather than your weaknesses, your abilities rather than your difficulties.
Fifth, you should have firm determination to carry out the plan to the end.
There is no substitute for firm determination.
The following are the specific steps to make a personal success plan:
1? Read what you wrote down several times when you determined your ideal life.
Review is a kind of reflection.
You can write a statement according to your life ideal. The presentation should be simple, but it should include everything you want to do.
The statement shall include:
(1) What is the focus of my life?
(2) What is the reason why I want to do these things?
(3) How can I do these things?
Here we provide several possible answers, which are recorded as follows for reference only:
I intend to serve the public by practicing medicine, with the aim of trying my best to help some unfortunate people improve their lives;
I hope to help others find their own goals in life and make their own contributions through love, teaching and training.
I hope that by providing customers with the best products and services, I can achieve business success and make a lot of money. In this way, I can take care of my family and others with the money I earn;
I hope to devote myself to the armed forces of the country and defend my country;
After writing your goal statement, you'd better read it every day for the first few weeks to see if it accurately represents your life goal.
2? Take a few hours to check yourself and see if you can get out of the ambitious goals you set.
You can start with the general goal of life and find the main goal that must be achieved to achieve the general goal of life.
You may come up with hundreds of major goals.
But you must take some time to examine these main goals in life carefully to see if you really think they are important.
3? You can also spend 1 hour carefully reading every specific goal in life.
When reading, you can also break down a specific life goal into several medium-and long-term goals that must be achieved, or even into tasks that can be performed every week and month.
These activities will help you draw a blueprint for success.
4? After dealing with every goal in life in this way, you will know what you must do to succeed.
Organize daily, weekly and monthly activities.
5? Evaluate your goals.
Determine whether your goal is realistic. Find out what you need to cooperate with others to achieve. Write down the goals that need help from others and the people who can help you.
How to achieve your goals?
Confirm again before achieving the goal:
First, whether your goal has been determined and quantified, for example, I think there are 654.38+00,000 a year.
Second, do you have a strong determination to believe that you can work miracles?
It is wise to always remember,
"Does this matter help my goal?" .
If the answer is no, there is no need to do it yourself; If it is positive, we must increase our efforts.
We can't succeed at once, we can only succeed step by step.
A good plan is your own monthly quota or list.
Think about how to improve efficiency.
Now start the "30-day improvement plan"
You can fill in what you have to do in 1 month under the heading of your plan, and check the progress and set new goals after 1 month.
For example, you can write down in your plan:
