Every day that goes by you either move closer towards achieving a goal or you move further away from that goal. If you take specific steps you can be assured that you are moving towards our goal. If you do nothing you are moving away from the goal. By being still, you lose momentum, and the level of inertia of our current position increases. Following these steps will guarantee that you will move towards your goal each day.
1. Gain a Clear Picture of What You Want to Achieve
You can’t move towards a goal unless you have a clear idea about what that goal is. This picture must be specific. You can’t simply state that you want “a better job”; rather you must clearly picture what that job will be and why it will be better. You can’t simply have the goal of “being self-employed”; instead, you need to have a clear picture of what you will be doing and how that will change your life.
2. Spend Time Visualizing Your Success
As part of gaining a clear picture about your goal, frequently take time visualizing yourself achieving your goal. Get as detailed as possible in your mind, even taking the time to write down your goals in significant detail. Whenever you find yourself getting discouraged go somewhere quiet for a little while and use that time to visualize success in your endeavors.
3. Associate Immense Pleasure with Achieving Your Goal
A third step is to associate immense pleasure that will occur when you achieve your goals. This can be a natural outflow of the visualization process in step two. Consider how you will feel when succeed. What will it be like? How much joy will you have? How will you celebrate? Make the level of pleasure as deep and realistic as possible. The more pleasure you associate with achieving your goal, the easier it will be to get out of your comfort zone and do the things needed to achieve that goal.
4. Associate Intense Pain with the Idea of Failure
Another motivator that will push you towards the goal is the pain you associate with not achieving your goal. In college, this is the motivator that pushes students to write an essay the day before it is due; the pain of failing has become very real to them. What are the pains associated with not achieving your goals? What will you NOT have? What will it look like to those around you? How will you feel about yourself? Get these pains clear in your mind and use them to push you towards action. Be careful here to always use the pain to push you towards action. Remember these pains are not inevitable. You know you can achieve your goals.
5. Focus on Doing Something Important Each Day towards Your Reaching Your Goals
As I mentioned in the introduction, each day that goes past without action towards your goal plants you further in your current situation. As such you need to do something each and every day towards achieving your goal. Start by identifying the important activities that need to do to achieve your goal. Every goal can be broken down in to a number of steps and those steps can be broken down further into the activities needed to achieve those goals. You need to do something every day from this list. That means even on days when you are busy with other things, tired, or when unexpected things fill your time, you need to find someway to do something that helps you move forward. Even if it is a simple act it will help you keep your personal momentum moving in the right direction.
6. Keep Your Goal at the Forefront of Your Mind
Not only do you need to have a clear picture in your mind about what you would like to achieve in your goal you also need to keep that goal at the front for your mind. There are many ways you can keep yourself reminded about your goal. One idea is creating a storyboard with photos about what you want to achieve. A number of years ago I set the goal of going to the Olympic Games. I set a storyboard filled with photos of the Olympics and of the city where the games were hosted. I placed the poster in a place where I would see it all the time when I was working. It helped me make the progress I needed to for my goal to come true. Now, a number of years later I have been to four consecutive Olympic Games. You may also want to use your calendar system (such as Outlook or Google Calendar) to set reminders. Have the reminders keep you focused on the goal you want to achieve.
While these six steps are simple, they are very rewarding. Put them into action and you will achieve your goals.
您覺得譯文質(zhì)量如何？好的話，送朵鮮花給譯員些鼓勵(lì)，討厭的話
你所度過的每一天都會(huì)使你朝著你的目標(biāo)更近一步或者會(huì)使你離你的目標(biāo)更遠(yuǎn)一步。如果你采取了具體的行動(dòng)，那么你會(huì)很確定你正在一步步靠近我們的目標(biāo)。相反，如果你什么都沒有做，那么你正在一步步遠(yuǎn)離自己的目標(biāo)。如果你什么也不做，你便會(huì)喪失動(dòng)力，我們的惰性便會(huì)增長。依據(jù)下面這些步驟做，將會(huì)確保你每天都會(huì)靠近你的目標(biāo)一些。
1. 清楚你真正想要達(dá)到什么目標(biāo)
只有你真正清楚你的目標(biāo)是什么，你才有可能朝著它前進(jìn)。這個(gè)目標(biāo)必須是明確的。你不能簡單地說，你要“一份更好的工作”；而是你要清楚地描繪出這份工作是什么，為什么它更好。你不能地輕率地樹立”個(gè)體戶“這個(gè)目標(biāo)；相反，你需要在頭腦中有一幅清晰的畫面，你要做什么，并且它將會(huì)如何改變你的人生。
2. 花些時(shí)間想象你的成功
作為你構(gòu)想目標(biāo)的一部分，經(jīng)?；ㄒ恍r(shí)間去想象你達(dá)成了你的目標(biāo)。盡可能在頭腦中想得詳細(xì)一些，甚至花時(shí)間盡可能詳細(xì)地寫下你的目標(biāo)。當(dāng)你感到泄氣的時(shí)候，去一個(gè)安靜的地方呆一會(huì)，想象一下你努力之后的成功。
3. 帶著極大的樂趣去達(dá)成你的目標(biāo)
第三個(gè)步驟是帶著極大的樂趣去實(shí)現(xiàn)你的目標(biāo)。這一點(diǎn)可以說是第二個(gè)步驟即想象過程后的延續(xù)。想象一下你成功時(shí)的心情。那將會(huì)是什么樣子的？你將會(huì)有多么開心？你會(huì)如何慶祝？盡可能帶著濃厚的真實(shí)的樂趣。在實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的過程中，你的興趣越高，那么你達(dá)成目標(biāo)所要花費(fèi)的努力便會(huì)越少，以及你所需要做的事情就會(huì)越簡單。
4. 帶著強(qiáng)烈的痛苦去想象失敗
另一個(gè)促進(jìn)你朝著目標(biāo)前進(jìn)的動(dòng)力便是想象你達(dá)不成目標(biāo)時(shí)的痛苦。在大學(xué)里，這是一個(gè)督促學(xué)生在規(guī)定日期前一天完成作業(yè)的動(dòng)力；失敗的痛苦對(duì)于他們來說很真實(shí)。當(dāng)你實(shí)現(xiàn)不了目標(biāo)時(shí)，痛苦是怎么樣的？你不會(huì)擁有什么？對(duì)于你周圍的那些人，它看起來又會(huì)是什么樣的？你將會(huì)作何感想？想清楚這些痛苦是什么，并且讓它們促使你去行動(dòng)。這里要慎重，經(jīng)常讓這種痛苦促使你去行動(dòng)。記住，這些痛苦將是不可避免的。你知道你會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的。
5. 每天都集中精力做些重要的事情去實(shí)現(xiàn)你的目標(biāo)
正如我在文章開頭所提到的，如果你不行動(dòng)，那么你所度過的每一天都會(huì)使你更加遠(yuǎn)離現(xiàn)在的狀態(tài)。這樣的話，你必須每天都要朝著你的目標(biāo)做些事情。首先要明確你為了實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)需要做的重要的事情。每一個(gè)目標(biāo)都可以分成幾個(gè)步驟，而這些步驟又可以被分成實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)而需要做的一些具體的事情。你需要每天都按照這些步驟做些事情。這就意味著，即使你某天在忙著別的事情，很累，或者有一些不期而遇的事情占據(jù)了你的時(shí)間，你仍然需要找到其它的方式去做些會(huì)促使你前進(jìn)的事情。盡管只是一個(gè)簡單的行為，它也會(huì)幫助你朝著正確的方向而保持動(dòng)力。
6. 將你的目標(biāo)放在首位
你不僅需要在頭腦中清楚地構(gòu)建你想要達(dá)成的目標(biāo)，而且你需要始終將你的目標(biāo)放在首位。你可以使用很多種方法提醒你關(guān)于你的目標(biāo)。其中的一個(gè)方法就是使用照片制作一個(gè)關(guān)于你想要做的事情的故事板。幾年前，我設(shè)定了要去參加奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)的目標(biāo)。于是，我用奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)的照片和所有舉辦過奧林匹克的城市的照片制作了一個(gè)故事板。我把這個(gè)畫板放在一個(gè)只要我工作時(shí)就能一直看到它的地方，它在我實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的過程中幫助我不斷取得進(jìn)步。幾年之后的今天，我已經(jīng)接連參加了四屆奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)了?；蛟S你也想使用自己的日程表來提醒你（比如Google 網(wǎng)站日程表中的Outlook）。讓這些日程表提醒你總是將你想要達(dá)成的目標(biāo)放在首位。
雖然這六個(gè)步驟很簡單，但是它們卻很有效。將它們付諸于行動(dòng)吧，你將會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)你的目標(biāo)。
