A person's consciousness is arranged in such a way that until there is a clear, clear and detailed image of the desired reality, the inner resources of the personality will not be active. As soon as the image is created, these resources will come into operation, and the person will be able to achieve whatever he wants.
In order to activate the inner resources of the personality and achieve everything on your own, you need to set a goal for yourself. It is a clear and clear goal that gives the image of reality for which these resources will begin to work. Psychologists strongly recommend writing down the goal on paper with maximum detail. Not only does a person write: “I want to achieve everything,” it is necessary to clearly prescribe what exactly and in what size. This form of goal setting, as it were, includes consciousness. There are several principles that determine how much the goal set for a person will affect the final result.
The goal must be specific
It is necessary to prescribe the image of the desired reality as accurately as possible, in the smallest details. If a person wants to achieve the post of a leader, then he must clearly understand how he will lead, how many subordinates he will have, what kind of office he will have.
Having set himself the goal of achieving a high position, a person must imagine what his lifestyle will be like. Only then will his consciousness strive for this image.
“I want to achieve everything myself” is a worthy goal, of course. You just need to clearly articulate what exactly the person wants to achieve. If his goal is a lot of money, then it is necessary to prescribe exactly how much money. If his goal is a strong family, then you need to know how many family members he will have.
The goal should be ambitious but realistic
A person has internal personal resources that he uses to achieve his goal. When people give their minds a difficult but real goal, it challenges it. Such a goal inspires action, awakens enthusiasm. If a person does not feel that, having achieved his goal, he will win a serious victory, then he will not feel any interest in achieving it.
However, the goal must be achievable. Otherwise, over time, disappointment will come, since there will be no approximation to the desired result. It is very important to realize that a person is getting closer to the intended goal every moment. This will fuel your enthusiasm and give you the strength to tackle any obstacles.
The goal must be measurable over time
A person must determine for himself during what period of time he intends to achieve his goal. This is important because people do the planned work at a certain speed. So, if a person needs to submit a report for a month, then he will not be in a hurry, but will start working on the eve of the due date. So it is with the goal. If no clear time limits are established, then its achievement will be postponed indefinitely.
If there is a certain interval of time allotted for work, then a person will confidently move through life, clearly aware of what he wants to achieve. Whatever obstacles arise in the path of a purposeful person, he will cope with them much easier than the one who has not decided what and when he wants.
