Climb and Summit Mt. GoalsAre you trying to reach a goal that feels like a large mountain to climb?
Climbing a mountain is much easier than one would think. You start at
bottom, you progress towards base camp, you hit
middle of
mountain, and then you reach
summit.
As climbers ascend, they come into contact with different elements such as thinner air and colder temperatures. If they climb
mountain too quickly, they will not be used to
new environment, and they will be out of their comfort zone. The same principle holds true for those of you who are climbing your own mountains, and striving for goals. As you climb higher to reach your goals, you will experience a different feeling.
You may feel anxious, like
mountaineer feels at
bottom of
mountain, knowing that his journey has only begun. You may feel overwhelmed like
mountaineer who is at base camp, knowing that he has many steps to climb. You may feel excited, like
mountaineer who has just hit
middle of
mountain, knowing that
peak is within reach. You may feel proud of yourself, like
mountaineer who has reached
summit, knowing that he obtained his goal.
So, How Can You Climb The Mountain To Your Goals?
1. Start at
bottom - establish what your goals are. * Write down your goals. * Avoid generalizations such as I want to be happy or I want to be rich. WHAT would make you happy or WHAT would make you rich? * If you want to be happy, write down how you will accomplish this. Will you take up a new hobby? Will you go back to school? Will you spend more time with friends or family? The more specific you can be,
better your chances of achieving your goal. * If you want to make more money, list details such as wanting to increase your income by 10% next year.
