We all have dreams. But almost no one sets goals to achieve
them. Everyone knows that goal setting works, but almost
nobody uses it. Now there are two questions:

1. WHY?

But the most important question is:

2. What are YOU going to do about it?

First let’s take a look at four major reasons why people
don’t set goals.

1. THEY ARE AFRAID TO FAIL

The fear of failure is probably the greatest single obstacle
to success. Many people refuse to set goals because they
fear they, and others, will be able to determine if they
were successful.

They don’t realize that is is IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL in goal
setting. There is just no such thing as failure. But there
are such things as OBSTACLES.

Winners don’t view failures as failures; rather, they
consider them to be learning experiences and opportunities.

Thomas Edison sure didn’t succeed with his first light bulb.
He once said he discovered a few thousand ways for the light
bulb not to work before he perfected the winning combination.

Obstacles will come our way, however, if we perform like a
heat-seeking missile. We too can go around, correct our
course, and move steadily toward our goals. To get there –
and be successful – we must overcome our obstacles and take
action.

There is just one guaranteed way to fail – don’t set goals
at all.

2. THEY DON’T REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF GOAL SETTING

Some people think that their dreams can come true without
goal setting. They don’t realize that there is no such thing
as miracle.

You actually have to DO something to MAKE your dream a
reality.

When you set a goal you create a step-by-step plan, your
path to your dreams. And then you just have to follow this
path, one step at time.

Goals give purpose, meaning and direction. By setting goals,
and measuring their achievement, you are able to see what
you have done and what you are capable of.

Only goals can change you from a dreamer to a doer.

3. THEY DON’T KNOW HOW

They don’t teach us in school HOW to set goals. Although
goal setting is the most important skill in humans life. If
you know HOW to set goals, you can achieve ANYTHING.

An even worse mistake that people make is to assume that they
already know how to set goals. A person who assumes that he
or she has a critical skill when, in reality, his or her
understanding of it is rudimentary at best, is in great
danger of failing at life.

There are two good free tutorials on the net about goal
setting:

and

4. THEY ARE NOT SERIOUS

Many people don’t set goals is that they are simply not
serious. They are talkers instead of doers.

They want to be more successful, they want to improve their
lives, but they are not willing to make the necessary effort.
They do not have the “fire in the belly” that translates
into a burning desire to make something of themselves, to
make their lives bigger and better and more exciting.

The only way you can tell what a person really believes is
by actions, not words. It is not what you say, or what you
intend, or what you wish or hope or pray for, but ONLY WHAT
YOU DO that counts.

Your true values and beliefs are only and always expressed
in your behavior. One person who will take action is worth
ten brilliant talkers who do nothing.

So… What reason applies to you? Are you going to change
it? Are you going to DO something about it? The only thing
you need is DESIRE. And right now you have only one decision
to make:

to do it or do it not.

setting, about tips and tricks how to achieve your goals,
