Happiness and Goals

           

                   Happiness and balance is something everyone strives to achieve through being successful in their personal and professional lives, But to begin with, what is success exactly? I asked around some friends the same question everyone gave me a different answer according to their own point of view and how they perceive success most of them linked it to their goals what that they want to achieve at some point in time.

In my opinion success is not a " Destination " its the " Journey " itself , being satisfied inside about your daily life activities,what you do ,what you see, what you have and the direction of your path if it is towards your goals, are you seeing them getting closer and achieving them one by one.
How to accomplish that ? well first thing is first "If you don't know where are you going you can never get there " so the key point here is " Goal Setting " goal setting is very very important because goals really do define your future.Write down your goals , researches showed that you will have better chances achieving them, keep in mind that a common misstep is to be overly ambitious with your goals don't get me wrong its good to aim at the stars but be careful to aim too high (You'll brake your neck) lol .Just be realistic and optimistic as much as possible while writing your goals in a (SMART) format : Specific,Measurable,Attainable,relevant and Timely based. Finally I would like to share with you ten simple tips that for sure will help you be happy and successful :

- keep your list to 10 goals .
- Write them down where you can see them frequently (phone or beside bed ).
- Surround yourself with people doing the same or have already achieved it.
- Constantly stay on the lookout for opportunities that will help you attain your goals.
- Visualize yourself succeeding.
- Let everyone know what you are doing people want to love and see others succeed.
- Free your life of other interest or time consuming endeavors that no longer fit your goals.
- Talk to people who are doing what you want to do and ask for advice and assistance.
- As you meet a goal replace it with another one keep stretching your mind and ambitions.
- Stay positive and flexible.
