Hey, how do you do?
Are you moving toward what you want in your life? Have you achieved some of your goals?
If you haven’t, you really have to be serious and track the performance of what have you done in the previous months or years. Think back right now. Think about 3 years back, or maybe even a few months back. Think about what you have done and how your decisions have brought you here.
So are you getting to where you want to be in your life?
Chances are, many people don’t track their records. They just live their life as it is. They have the attitude of whatever will be, will be. They never thought of whether they will achieve their goals if they keep on doing the things they do. And I even doubt it if that they have a goal. (If you want to learn about goal setting, read my posts under Goal Setting category)
You have to ask yourself this very question right now:
“If I keep on doing what I’m doing, will I ever make my goals come true?”
If your answer is a yes, you’re on the right track. So what you have to do then is just to put even more effort into what you’re doing to speed up the process of getting results. Or you can leverage and change to a better strategy.
However, if your answer is a no, it will be time for you to seriously think about your life. Do you really want to achieve your goals? If you are serious about achieving what you truly want in your life, you have to do something to change the situation.
Keeping doing the same thing will never yield you the results you want in your life.
It all comes down to this, knowing where you are. Once you knew whether you’re moving closer or further away from your goals, you can then start to craft your strategies and change your decisions. You can make the decision right now so that you will do something that will lead you to your goals.
It is so important for you to know where you are right now.
Here is an example of what you can do for your goals. Think back 5 years from now, did you improve your life? From the scale of 1 to 10, with 1 is the lowest and 10 is the highest, where do you think the scale will be when you are 5 years back?
What about now? What are the scale you are giving for you life right now? Are you improving? I hope so.
So here is what you can do. Take one of your goals that you are pursuing right now, and do this same exercise on it. If you’ve been trying to accomplish this goal for sometime, let’s say 3 months, you can track your performance by asking yourself, from the scale of 1 to 10, where were you in the last 3 months? Are you doing good?
What about now? What is the scale you are on right now? If you are improving, it shows that you will definitely achieve your goals someday ahead. However, if the scale is not improving, you have to do something. It shows that you are not creating the results you want in your life.
So take this exercise seriously right now. Think about where you were in the past and think about where you are right now.
The real secret to success is in measuring your performance before you can actually attaining it.
