How to Remain Positive When You Set Your Goals

Setting your goals will help you know what you want in life and will help you strive for it through motivation.

Knowing what you want and how you want it in the future is very important and is the very essence of setting goals. Your goals help you to lay out the plans to your future while it motivates you should to achieve what you want in the future. It gives you the drive to push further ahead on your road as well as the thirst to be better from your present situation.

It is of high importance to consider that all goals stem out of your brain. The words of W. Clement Stone could be said to be true when he stated "what the mind can conceive, the body can achieve". In the like manner, whatever we weave in our minds, whether it is positive or negative, is what will come about whenever you set your goals. We have control of our thoughts and whatever we scheme is what we most of the time rip.



The positive thoughts we have in our head affects our goal in life. It is the foundation of what we want to happen in the future. These thoughts are the core of every goal that you want to achieve. It is important then that our thoughts are positive to have a positive result of whatever we want to attain. It is just like the simple law which states that what comes around comes around. The positive thoughts you put into your goal simply goes back to you.

When you set your goals, it is important to keep in mind only the positive things you want to achieve. We always have to think the good outcome and just focus on that. Concentrate your thoughts on that one thing you really want and let your senses feel. Close your eyes and believe that you have already achieved it. Then open your eyes and you will find that the way to achieving your goal is already within you.

The will is strong but because we are only human in a very weak outer flesh, we usually believe that the exterior will dominate us. It is important to remember that the outer is always controlled by the core which is inside you. The flesh may bleed and get tired but if you have faith inside that what you want is possible; what you want is within reach, and then everything will follow. Just don't let that weakness overcome you as you set your goals forward.

Some tasks may be daunting just like how mountains may seem just too steep to climb. There will be days when that goal seems to be too far from being a reality. That is normal of course because we are born with a brain that never stops thinking. Our minds will keep thinking if your goal is possible to attain or not. Of course it does that as to protect our hearts from frustration once the goal is attained.



Thinking of failure is important as long as we learn from it instead of just sticking to what our brain says is impossible. Just continue rationalizing and finding ways of how to attain your goals and it may lead to even greater possibilities for you to be able to attain that goal you have. As the mind thinks of the ways it will not attain the goal it is also important for you to settle on the solutions that are being suggested by your brain.

Also, it is important to love that goal that you have set. This may sound different and impossible since your goal is an inanimate object. What I mean when I said that you should love your goal is to show the same passion you have for something you dearly possess. Be passionate on that goal like you never want to lose it and let your mind keep thinking about it and let your heart yearn for it.

Just like in the person you love the most, nothing should keep you apart from it. Don't let the fear of losing and failure get in the way of you and that one goal you have in life and you'll find nothing is impossible for you to attain.

Aside from that, having passion for that goal you want to attain will help you think of only the good and remove whatever bad thoughts you have for it. We usually don't think about bad things against the person we love. Same is true when it comes to the goal you have. It is important to see only the good to come and not the possible pain it may bring along the road.

Have faith in your personal development goal and things will flow smoothly even when in reality, you already have dealt and vanquished demons that have been there taunting and hindering you along the way. Just remain motivated and you will see that there is nothing there that may hinder you from getting that sweet success. Let the passion burn inside you and you will find the best reward that you may imagine. What matters the most is that you start to set your goals right and everything will surely end the way it had begun.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
