To Achieve GOALS in Life, You Need G.O.A.L.S.

Without goals to pursue and achieve, life really does not have much purpose. When one sets a goal,
pursues it and achieves it, the feeling of gratification is tremendous. Nevertheless, as with many
pursuits in life the achievement of goals have certain requirements.

Now to sum up what exactly is required, we might describe them using the acronym G.O.A.L.S.

G is for GUIDANCE: Setting and pursuing goals might be compared to planning a journey
somewhere. If you were to plan a trip to a major city in your country, you would probably employ
the use of a map. Or, now it might be some sort of SAT NAV, or GPS system. Whichever it is, it will
guide you to your destination. In some cases, especially if the route to your destination is
complicated, a guide is a necessity. Achievement of your goals is no different. You need guidance.

O is for OPPORTUNITY: If you try to enter a house, some entrance to the house MUST be opened.
Otherwise you will not get in. In pursuing your goals you must look for and there must be an opening
for you to realize your goals. Often people fail to achieve their goals, not because it was not
attainable. They miss out, simply because they failed to recognize the opportunity! Therefore,
always keep an eye or two open for the many opportunities that present themselves to us.

A is for ABILITY: To score a goal in pretty much any sport requires some measure of ability. There
may be no obstacle between the athlete and the goal, but if the player does not have the skill to put
the ball in the goal he will not score. Ability requires learning and practice. Then more learning and
practice. Gain ABILITY so that you can score your goals.

L is for LEVERAGE: In this complex world that we live in, almost every action that must be taken in
life is like a heavy load. Seems nothing is simple anymore. Now when having to lift a heavy load, one
needs to employ the use of a leveraging tool. Just ask any mechanic that has to lift a heavy engine
out of a car. To achieve your goals it helps tremendously to get leverage to help you. You will get
there quicker and with less stress. Use tools to help you achieve your goals.

S is for SUCCEED: Success is in many respects a state of mind. How would you define what success
is? Your definition may be different from what mine is. But without a doubt if we both set a certain
goal for ourselves, we will know if we have succeeded. So we might agree that achieving our goals
would mean that we have succeeded. And SUCCESS is sweet!

Therefore, to achieve your goals in life or in business, get a GUIDE, look for OPPORTUNITIES, develop
your ABILITIES, gain LEVERAGE and SUCCEED!

Keep this acronym in mind as you pursue the achievement of your goals. It also very important that
one get organized to achieve goals. You can find out how you can do just that in a new e-book called
“Get Organized and Achieve Your Goals”.
