Goal achievement contributes to increased happiness and fulfillment. In order to consistently hit your goals you need a process that yields dependable results. Here is a 5 point game plan for successfully setting and achieving goals.

Dream big. Do a dream building session in which you identify everything that you would like to do, be and have in your life. Really let yourself go. Perhaps you want a new car. Or maybe you want to have your ideal body weight. You may even want to be a classically trained pianist. No matter what it is do not limit yourself. Act as if anything were possible and set your sites on the dream that resonates the most with you.

Write it out. Now write that dream down. Then map out a plan for making it come true. Write your goals out and look at them on a regular basis. Establish your work habits by creating a checklist and marking off the tasks as you complete each one.

Take action now. After you have determined what your goal is and you have mapped out a game plan you want to begin taking action immediately. Do not worry if you make mistakes in the beginning. Fear of failure is the number one thing that holds most people back. As you continue to take action your results will improve. You will start achieving the goals that you set in direct proportion to the amount of action that you take.

Monitor and adjust. Keep a journal of your progress. All of your successes and failures are kept in their proper prospective when you record them in your journal. You are able to go back and read your entries without being so emotionally involved. While reading your regular entries you are able to see whether you are progressing or regressing. Then you can adjust your plan accordingly. This helps you to stay on track while not succumbing to frustration and disappointment.

Persist until completion. So much of your success with achieving goals occurs beyond the point where you felt like giving up. If you do not quit you will eventually succeed. When you feel like stopping or giving up bring to remembrance your dream. Visualize goals as if they were already accomplished and you have obtained your dream. Imagine what it would feel like. It is your dream that gives you inspiration. This inspiration fuels your motivation. When you are sufficiently motivated you will not have a challenge remaining persistent. You will be able to keep moving forward until you achieve your goal and get what you want.
