Formula reach your goals

If you really want to reach the goals you set for yourself, simply writing them down as a list and telling your friends is just not going to take you anywhere. Reaching your goals is easy when you use this formula...

Consistency Desire - Fear = YOUR GOAL

Consistency: If you're going to reach a goal, you NEED to be consistent. Most people jump on the "goal setting bandwagon" around the New Year, setting goals for themselves with NO PLAN for how they're going to reach these goals. And before they know it, they get caught up in everyday life and never think about their goals again. This is what is called "goal setting and forgetting". Consistency is CRITICAL when it comes to reaching your goals.

Desire: Goal setting is merely wishful thinking if you don't have a strong desire to reach your goal. You must organize your list, separating the goals that you desperately want to achieve from those that "would be nice".

Fear: Fear of failure can stop you. THAT is what stops most people from reaching their goals. Don't let it happen to you! You will never TAKE ACTION if you let your FEAR get in the way of what you want to accomplish. One more thing...
DON'T listen to other people who try to discourage you. Some people may try to discourage you whether it's out of pure jealousy or just plain ill will. NOBODY knows what you're capable of so it's up to YOU to prove them wrong!

what an interesting theory, but ignoring the fear, aren't we ignoring the risks?

risks are only worth taking if they've been calculated again and again and again before the decision is made

Setting a goal and then working towards it is the things you should never fail in between or give it up just because you fail sometimes . Make sure that you have all the equipment, tools, resources, clothes and attitude you need to successfully reach your goal - before you start in on it. Before embarking on any venture, always make sure that you know what you'll need. Think like a journalist writing a how-to of your particular goal. Envision each step and look around at your mental image - what are you doing, wearing, using, etc.
