At the start of a New Year it is natural to set one’s self targets to achieve but the way we set a path to our goals is the key to making them a reality.
If one sets an ambiguous target such as wanting to run a mile faster then by the end of the year you may well reach your target but by setting smaller targets the ultimate target will be easier to reach and your time will be even lower.
Target 1: Improve one’s diet so more energy is in one’s meals. The more energy one has the faster one can run.
Target 2: Drop one’s weight by 12 lbs. The less weight one carries the faster one can run.
Target 3: Save up for some better running shoes. The better one’s grip to the road the faster one can run.
Target 4: Run a mile 1 minute faster than one’s current personal best. An exact target gives an exact aim, succeed or fail one has an aim.
We all want to run faster, jump higher and some of us even want to sing louder, but without working out the exact steps we need to take to make that happen we wont reach out goals as quickly as we can.
It is just worth remembering that every plan has to have the details covered, which will provide the stepping stones to success.
