We are all aware that human needs are unlimited, and that the joy of having grows in having. Hence, the number of years you live on earth must be filled with ambition. When you accomplish a particular aim, you go for another. “It is our duty as men and women to proceed (set goals) as though the limits to our abilities do not exist,” said Pieere T. Chardin. There is no limit to your achievement until you give up the ghost.

“A bad worker man,” they say, “quarrels with his tools.” So make your goals clear and specific. Take your life one step at a time; you will worry less and achieve more. Do not set unrealistic goals for yourself bearing in mind that one of the reasons why most people fail is lack of focus. You will need to set realistic expectation about what you can do today or tomorrow.

David J. Schwarts says, “Think little goals and expect little achievement. Think big goals and win big success.” Don’t be afraid to aim high when setting up your goals. Focus on it irrespective of the hindrances you may encounter in the course of your pursuit; it may be a step towards accomplishment if you persevere. Try also as much as possible to set a short term goals and whenever you achieve them, you will become more energized for subsequent undertakings.

Write out your goals. They are the parts you hope to hit, the road map for your success. Writing them down will make them more real to you, help you to get there, and keep you committed. It will keep you on track towards your goals.

Master the art of flexibility; your goals and plans are subject to adjustment as things change. Don’t be static, review and upgrade them with time. Discontinue the way you pursue your goal if it is not yielding the desired result. Change your style, and it will consequently start producing something better.

Constant practice is a sine qua non for achieving your set goals. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act but is achieved through practice. In the pursuit of your goals, resolve to do something every day to move yourself forward to the attainment of one or more of your most important goals, no matter how small it may be. “Inches make champions,” says Vince Lombardi.

I want you to know that every day is important and there is no day you won’t have what will make you great. Truly, if you thing of each day as an important step towards your achievement, your goals won’t seem boring to you. The daily works on your goals enable you to develop and maintain a certain degree of momentum.

If you wait until the wind and the weather are just right, you will never sow anything and never harvest anything. “I program myself for success everyday so I can make the day successful, then the week, and so on,” says Michael Leboeuf. Lazy people should learn a lesson from the way ants live. They have no leader, chief or ruler, but they store up their food during summer, getting ready for the winter.

The patient dog, as we know, eats the fattest bone. Therefore, be patient in your goals and don’t always be in haste for result. It doesn't matter how long it takes you to accomplish them. Every true goal must come to pass, wait for it. In fact, the more you accomplish it and the better you get at accomplishing even more. Remember, the hunter’s surest weapon is patience.
