2 Steps to Setting Better Goals
When you know why things don't work,
you have a much better chance
at making them work. The same can
be said for goals. When you know
the reasons why people don't reach
their goals it is much easier to
find success with yours.
Below are two reasons why others
have trouble accomplishing their
goals. Knowing the do not's will
help you to realize the do's of
goal setting.
1. SETTING UNATTAINABLE GOALS
One of the most frequent reasons
why others find so much frustration
with their goals is because they
set them too high. Creating goals
that are unattainable not only
makes it impossible to succeed,
but it also creates a negative
attitude towards the use of
goals. When you set goals
too high and constantly fall
short, you may not want
to use them in the future.
2. SETTING UNCHALLENGING GOALS
The reverse of setting unattainable
goals is also a hindrance to success.
When goals are set too low, there is
no motivation to work hard. When you
feel like you don't have to work that hard
to reach your goals, you don't think about
them nor do you really care if you
reach it.
In order for people to feel compelled to
work hard towards something, they must
feel challenged. Setting goals too low
decreases motivation and energy.
Now that you know the problems associated
with goal setting, be sure to avoid them
at all costs. When you set your goals, or
help others to do the same, make sure
they are both challenging and attainable.
This way you will be motivated to work hard
and feel the rush of success when you accomplish
your goals!
