Everyone have goals to achieve, whether it’s a child a teenager or an adult. We have goals to study, to travel, to play, to get position or awards, to purchase a car, to take a vacation, to make our lives more enjoyable, to have luxury to buy everything.

Some attain their goals easily, some put a lot of hard work and effort to achieve it, and some lack motivation in the middle and lose hope.

Top achievers know that the wording, structure, timing and format of a goal can make its achievement much easier. They know how to design goals that create success.

Here are the 9 most important steps to set and achieve your goals:

• Set yourself reachable goals. Reachable goals are specific. People who can achieve their goals easily know that to reach their goals, the brain must precisely know what they are trying to accomplish.

• Try to be specific, don’t use terms like “little, some or more”. For example, if you are going to complete 2 chapters to study in a day, specify it. Be exact! your brain can help you accomplish almost anything if it knows precisely what you are aiming for.

• Make simple, to the point goals. A lot of students or people use complex terms and strategies to achieve their goals. Do not exaggerate, when you exaggerate your goal, brain gets confused. Keep your goals simple, clear, and focused.

• Make a goal that you care about. Reachable goals are significant. No one will reach their desired goal if they are not motivated about it or care about it. If you really care about it and want to achieve it, you will make an effort to get it. Set goals that are worth achieving!

• Reachable goals are strategic. High achievers know that the best goals accomplish many great outcomes, all at one time. Running a 10-km race will almost certainly:

1.  Make you feel great!
2. Help you lose weight.
3. Lower your cholesterol level
4. Strengthen your heart
5. Lower your risk of heart disease
6. Increase your energy and stamina, and
7. Improve your outlook.

   Design your goals to strategically impact as many areas of your life as possible. You’ll have more reasons to reach your goal and more excitement when you do!

• Goals should be measurable and tangible. People stay motivated when they see how they are progressing and they work hard till they reach their desired goal. And it should be tangible as well.

• Choose goals that you can see, hear, smell or touch. Go for things you will enjoy and that you can clearly visualize.

• Reachable goals are rational. Your goals must make sense! When you explain them to friends and family, your goals should create excitement, draw support, and encouragement. Your goals should be just out of reach, but not out of sight!

• And finally reachable goals are shared. We are far more likely to stick to our plan and reach our goals if we know our friends and family support us.
