“The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted.”
Everybody of us desires to be successful, but we frequently rely
on luck and chance to achieve our goals. The best example in
this case is someone who wants to get rich but only has one
alternative: playing the Lotto. Of course, there are chances of
becoming rich over night, but how likely is it that this will
actually happen? Creating a realistic plan in order to achieve
the desired results is vital in any case, no matter how high or
low your hopes are. The safest way to do this is by taking
successive steps and gradually increasing your chances of
reaching your ideal. Try to think of a metaphor and compare your
desires with a professional swimming competition. The first
thing you need to do, in order to have chances of winning the
race, is to make sure you are not afraid of the water. Before
you even consider entering the race you have to eliminate your
fears. They are the ones holding you back, but be careful, some
of your fears might save you from getting hurt or failing. Once
you are convinced that your goal is worth fighting for, you have
to start the hardest stage in you plan: preparation. You cannot
expect to win a professional swimming race when you don’t even
know how to swim. Start with the basics and never skip any steps
out of desire of reaching your goal faster. The experience and
knowledge you are skipping will probably come back and hurt you
later on. Prepare by taking gradually increasing steps. Swim
half a lap first, and then move on to a full lap. Your skills
will progress each time and you will soon beat your own lap
records every time you enter the swimming pool. It might take
days, weeks or years to prepare for the “race”, depending on
what your goals are. The main thing is to enter the race feeling
confident in your own success and having all the skills that
would allow you to win. Taking steps one at a time and keeping
your plan realistic gives you two important benefits. The order
and precision of a plan brings confidence. You don’t feel like
you are reengaging each new issue on a day-to-day basis.
Organizing your strategy reduces the chances of making wrong
moves or taking less efficient decisions. Secondly, having a
sound plan has many psychological benefits and your subconscious
mind worries less, giving you more energy to concentrate on
what’s important. You are creating a pattern in your awareness
that accepts success and integrates it in your plan. When both
you conscious and your subconscious mind believe in your chances
of reaching a goal you benefit from a power of concentration and
focus that eliminate outside interference and let you follow the
shortest path to success. Even though chance may still play an
important role in your quest to reach your ideal, having a
realistic plan let’s you change the “unlikely” into “possible”.
You have the power to make your dreams a reality. Now show the
world what stuff you are made of. For more information on self
