Achievement
in any field requires effort and sacrifice. You need to act in a manner that
will allow your goal to become reality. If you want to be an Olympic medalist,
a bestselling author, or a great actor it requires hard work and dedication.
Every achievement in life comes with its own price tag. Here are nine
guidelines for those on the journey toward achieving their dreams:
Write down what you want to achieve: Be clear and concise on what it is that you want in life.
You can’t commit to memory what you don’t remember. Put pen to paper or fingers
to the keyboard, but get your dreams and goals out of your head.
Make preparations: Know
where you’re going, make a plan and work your plan.
Act deliberately: Do it
NOW! Taking decisive actions instill a sense of purpose and confidence.
Get others involved: No one
is a self-made person. Life is teamwork. Find your team. All achievement
requires the help of other people.
Expect failure: Bummer,
but true. Failure is a necessary ingredient of success. There can be no success
without some failure.
Keep your focus: Don’t
allow yourself to be distracted. Stay focused on your written goals.
Examine your journey: What’s
working, you keep, and what’s not working, you toss out. Make sure you insert
some new directions. Review your goals often, this way you’ll see how far
you’ve come!
Take a reward: Give
yourself an occasional ‘high five’ for a job well done. Treat yourself to
something special. Be refreshed and encouraged by your progress.
Be true to yourself: Never
compromise your integrity and moral character. It’s not worth it! Achievement
is gained when we are seen as a person who can be trusted and relied upon. Be
that person!

Great post Sharon! I've got to remember to give myself a high five once in a while! I forget to do that when I get busy! :) tweeted for you and I'll share when I get on FB. :)
ReplyDeleteHugs and thank you, Lisa! We all need encouragement, especially when it comes from ourselves!
ReplyDeleteGreat points, Sharon. It's so easy to lose track of the goal, or let "life" get in the way of putting in the time and effort we need to. But if we don't keep working at it, we certainly won't make progress!
ReplyDeleteTrue that, KM! Sometimes we need a list to check off and see how far we've come! Thank you for stopping by to read and comment! Cheers!
DeleteGreat post Sharon! I often find I don't allow myself to have goals, as if my books aren't good enough to become popular. I'm going to work on this much harder and know that my books are a great read!
ReplyDeleteBut, Lisa, your books are a GREAT read! Just use some of the Djen magic you have and you'll never look back! Cheers for the comment and support, my friend!
DeleteBeing true to yourself is the hardest IMO. Shared.
ReplyDeleteGood points, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vonnie and Lizzie! Being true to yourself comes with a lot of burdens. The trick is to drop what's not working for YOU, and honor your feelings. Hard, but worth it! Cheers, ladies!
