Have you ever wondered how some people accomplish more in life than others? I have often asked myself this question but I didn’t have an answer until now.
The key to achieving lifetime goals is to constantly work at it. I know that sounds too simple but it’s the truth. The way this is done is to create short term goals.
Let me provide you with an example from life my life. I mentioned this in a different post but it’s worth repeating. I have a goal to publish a book. I can’t publish a book without writing a manuscript.
My book has an estimated 11 chapters in it. That is approximately one chapter a month for one year.
Most chapters have an average of 20 pages in it. There are 4 weeks in a month which means that I could write 5 pages a week and it would equal a chapter at the end of the month.
That is about 1 page a day or 2 or 3 pages a couple of days a week.
This life goal certainly feels within reach now! My short term goal then is to write 5 pages a week per month. By the end of the year I will have the first draft of my manuscript complete.
You eat an elephant by doing it one bite at a time! What life goal can you apply this to? What would it take to take small action toward your big goal?
