Got your eyes on a home or car? Are you contemplating your entrepreneurial skills? Thinking about your life’s purpose? See yourself achieving your goals. Create mental pictures.

Your dream home awaits you, homeownership is within your reach. You have what it takes to start your own business. You deserve to live and experience life abundantly…stress and worry free…see yourself in the picture.

If you have set goals in the past but failed, your strategy for achieving your goals may have been at fault.
Are You a Goal Setter or a Goal Getter?
The difference between a goal setter and a goal getter is a goal getter takes their goals seriously, is passionate about their goals, visualizes themselves as having already reached their goals, and has absolute faith that they will achieve their goals.
The goal setter sets wish list goals that they don’t believe that they can achieve causing them to not take their goals seriously. Consequently, they are unable to visualize themselves accomplishing their goals, they have no faith in their ability to reach their goals, and as a result, the goal setter never realizes their goals.
You have the power within you to become a goal getter. If you have the self-discipline, will, and desire to meet and even exceed your goals, this advanced strategy will change your life starting today.
Your Goal Getter Guide:
1. Determine what you want and need to live a balanced and abundant life. Set goals that include the 7 most important aspects of your life: family, finances, social, physical, spiritual, emotional, & mental.
2. Use time frames to determine short-term, long-term, and lifetime goals. While your lifetime goals may change, it is important that you set lifetime goals because you can use them to effectively guide the direction of your life helping you determine your short and long-term goals. Time frames: 20 year, 10 year, 5 year, 3 year, 1 year, next month, next week, and tomorrow.
3. Put your goals in writing to keep yourself motivated, excited, accountable, and to stay organized. If your goals change rewrite them.
4. Be very specific, concise, and clear about what you want as you write your goals. (Instead of saying I want a house, you say something like my house has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a laundry room, a kitchen with an island, a 2 car garage, with beautiful views from every room overlooking the Pacific Ocean. see the difference? be very specific).

5. Use positive statements when writing your goals to help stimulate vivid mental pictures of your goals. (Instead of saying I will not gain weight, say something like I maintain my health by exercising daily and eating right. get the picture? It’s easy to visualize yourself on a treadmill and eating healthy meals. Its difficult to create a mental picture for not gaining weight).
6. Create a goal board with pictures of what you want to attain. Look at your goal board daily and visualize yourself achieving your goals.
7. Write down your reasons for wanting to achieve your goals and how you will benefit by achieving each one. Write down things that you can do to reach your goals.
8. Rewrite your goals in present tense regularly, as if you have already achieved them. Affirm your written words with spoken words by reading them out loud daily. This will set Universal Laws in motion (The Law of Attraction) while increasing your faith, belief, and resolve.
9. Keep track of your progress and reward yourself for achieving each goal. Be creative, have fun, and turn it into a contest to help you stay motivated and focused.
10. Make sure that your goals are in fact your goals and no one else’s. Your goals must be based on your own beliefs, desires, wants, needs, self-image, and expectations. Only share your goals with supportive people that have their own goals.
Your every day actions should bring you closer to your goals. You must be persistent and you must follow through. It is not enough to put your goals on paper. You must follow up your written goals with action and hold yourself accountable.
Stay focused, positive, and believe that you can achieve your mission. Goal Getters set and achieve their goals and Never Give Up.

Stuff all this goal setting.. No wonder people are so stressed trying to achieve all the time. How about enjoying life and relaxing. You can achieve plenty of things in life without having to write things down.

I have to agree with NL on this. I think the only way to stick with a regular workout routine would be to treat it like a relaxation period. Most people think relaxation means to hang out on the couch but a good easy paced workout can also be a great getaway.
I think it’s safe to say that everyone feels better when they leave the gym. If you put too much pressure on yourself it can be tough to follow for a long time.

I always have goals but I can never achieve them. So sad to think about the failure but I never stop having goals as that is what motivates me.

Everybody have goals but the determination to achieve it is differs individually. So believe in yourself and hardworking in everything that you do in matter of times suddenly all goals achieved….

Even though everyone has different goals. But everyone would have a same mind, ‘i must achieve my goal!’ as exfatguy said, believe your own. You may having a talent that others don’t have
