There are Many Ways of Setting Your Goals

Achieving goals is entirely different then setting goals. Goal setting techniques have always been used by top-level athletes, successful business-people and achievers in all fields.

Goals are set on a number of different levels: First you create your "big picture" of what you want to do with your life, and what large-scale goals you want to achieve. Decide how you'll focus your life, and then set the clear, vibrant, compelling goals that power you to achievement.

A lot of people have one method by which they claim you can achieve your goal, but in my experience different methods work for different people. Some people, for example, rely heavily on religious faith to achieve their goals.

This may work for them, but it is not the only way to achieve your goal. Other people have a much more concrete approach to setting and achieving goals. They say that, to achieve your goals, you have to think and act like a highly successful person. They use psychological tricks and personal affirmations to help achieve your goal. In many ways, these affirmations work much like religious faith does for those who are more interested in it. Rather than using faith in God to achieve your goals, these people advocate using faith in yourself.

Still other people say that the best way to achieve your goals is through therapy and counseling. They say that the reason people are dysfunctional is because they have certain deep conflicts holding them back from achieving goals in their lives. They advocate all kinds of different therapies to achieve your goals, from solution focused therapy, to psychotherapy, to life coaching.

In my personal life, I believe that the best way to achieve your goals is to combine elements from all of these approaches. The best way to achieve your goals is to figure out what works for you, and for me it depends on the goals, and on what is holding me back.

Remember, setting small, achievable goals is good for just getting things done and making things happen.  By setting sharp, clearly defined goals, you can measure and take pride in the achievement of those goals.
