Losing Sight of Goals

In our hectic, fast-paced society, most of us have so many things competing for our attention that it's relatively easy to lose sight of the goals we set for ourselves, even big important goals.

Here are some simple suggestions for turning your goals into realities:

* Pare down your list of current goals. Your chances of reaching your goals is improved if you are only working on a few of them at a time.

* Be sure that each of your goals is specific and quantifiable. If you intend to lose ten pounds, attach a date to your goal.

* Whether your goal is to lose weight or to achieve a business victory--periodically measure your progress. Daily is NOT too often.

* Post your goal or goals on your bathroom mirror or elsewhere, where you will automatically notice them as you start each day. If it helps, share your goals with others and get their support. Finally, join groups that have similar resolutions or goals.
