\u201cIf you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.\u201dzz<\/p>\n

Generally speaking humans like to take the easy and comfortable route to any end result.\u00a0 Problem with this I that there really is no big push or drive to get goals done and one day flows into the next, and many of us never quite get around to turning our good intentions into reality.<\/p>\n

While \u2018good intentions,\u2019 \u00a0are definitely admirable, they tend to remain unrealized mainly because they are too vague.\u00a0 Vague ideas are impossible to focus on and aim for; they are moving targets.\u00a0 Specifics people!!!<\/p>\n

I know you have moving targets in your life? Family related craziness, work load nuts or may you just want to eat a more healthy diet or lose the winter weight that has crept upon you.\u00a0 Maybe you just want to establish a regular workout routine and stick with it this time<\/strong>. Maybe maybe.<\/p>\n

The keys to your success are two-fold:\u00a0 steady the goal and keep moving forward.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Without setting specific goals, your good intentions are exactly like that moving target.\u00a0 You would like to lose some weight, feel a little better, make a change in your diet, move up in your job etc.–but without clearly defined goals and steps needing to be taken, you can\u2019t focus and make it happen.<\/p>\n

The way to focus on the goals so you can finally hit your specific goals you MUST define your goals<\/strong> and write them down:<\/strong><\/p>\n
