We all have goals in our life, no matter how small or big. There are some people who plan everything, like in a day to day basis to achieve what they want in life. Some people work in short term goal and add things up year by year. Personally I like to work in short term goal, to achieve my life long dream, and I am really clear about what I want out of my life in long term. How do you work to achieve your goals in life?

It depends on the goal, I don't have just one goal in life or anything. I make a specific plan (not always on paper, it can be in my head as well) for each goal and project, and follow up on it as often as I can, so I can make sure that I am working on it. And I try to set some kind of deadline too, since I feel that helps.

Yes, deadline does help with our goal or in that case any of our regular work too. Without deadline everyone tend to procrastinate.

What I do is do the job seriously and discipline. That way my life would be good for today, tomorrow and beyond. Despite sometimes feeling lazy, disrupting work purposes, but I always tried to fight the feeling lazy.

I agree that to achieve something it takes lots of regular hard work and discipline, and if we follow that then we can get there.

I try my best to achieve my goals by any means, but theres always obsticals in the way like not enough money and time. I still keep my dreams and goals and hope to achieve them one day and i will do my best to get to. I know what they are and they are realistic too, because there would be no point in me having dreams i'm never going to be able to achieve. Hope you manage to achieve yours one day!

The best way is to do things one step at a time since is really difficult to achieve all at once.

I work in short term goals. If you just make one big goal, it can sometimes seem as though it is completely unreachable, however if you set yourself smaller goals and reward yourself every time you reach a goal, you will feel much better than if you just seem to be taking a very long time reaching the one goal that you truely want to reach.

Hello, I think it's better if we first identify our long term goal. This is no fun. A long term goal is equivalent to the purpose of life. So we must take extra care while choosing it. This is a rigorous process and we shouldn't hurry. Once the goal is fixed it is better to split it in small, manageable chunks. This fragments are called short-term goals. Short term goals are sequential in nature. This means, you have to target it one by one. Once you achieve one short term goal, you move on to the next. If going upstairs is your long term goal then you have to accomplish it by using stairs, one step at a time. These steps are the short term goals. Sometimes we attempt to do things that are not related to our long term goals. Frustration, humiliation, pain etc are negative feelings that mainly originates from drifting away from your long term goal. Once you identify it and decide to return to your path these disturbances vanishes away. Thanks. God bless you
