The Power of Consistent action to Reach Your Goal

Have you ever had a goal and it seems like you're committed to it, but you never quite seem to get there? Do you have a plan to drive it from start to desist so that you are sure to meet or exceed your goal? Think of this narrative as a mini-workshop in which I am provocative you to put together a list of tasks to which you are totally committed. All of these tasks must fall under one major goal.

What happens to us as humans, is that we tend to work generally toward an idea, but we gallivant around trying a bit of this, and a bit of that, never taking the fastest path. Your actions might get you there, but you are taking the long way around to get to your final destination.

There is a fancy word for this called "circuitous"

Merriam-Webster's Dictionary has two definitions

having a circular or winding procedure (a circuitous route)> not being forthright or direct in language or operation (a circuitous explanation)
It is an adjective that seems to relate back to the root words "circle" and/or "circuit" (these are never ending loops!). If you look at these definitions, both of them relate our dilemma. What we want is a bullet that will shoot level and true to our target, not a winding road. Take out a large sheet of paper and write your major goal at the top. For our example, let's assume that you want to take a vacation; you would write your goal at the the top of the page and make sure you contain a date by which you want to perform it.

Goal: To go on a one-week vacation with my house to the beaches of Florida, before August 26th when the children have to go back to school

After that write down three actions that you can do commonly that will move you towards your goal. These actions need to be something that you can do consistently, and that your fully committed to doing.

For our example they might be:

I am committed:

I will not spend any loose change. I will put all of my spare turn into a "vacation jar". Even if I have 75 cents in my pocket and a can of soda costs 50 cents, I will use a fresh one-dollar-bill to pay for my drink so that I will have .25 to put in my "vacation jar" when I empty my pockets I will run errands for friends and help with baby sitting to earn extra money, and I will put all of it into my vacation fund I will watch movies on Tv or on a Dvd I own, rather than going to the movies or renting a movie
Next we will create a score card to track your strengthen and narrative your results (give yourself one point per operation accomplished, if it's a weekly activity, you get a "freebie" for the day so give yourself a point).

My score card:

Monday:

Tuesday:

Wednesday:

Thursday:

Friday:

Saturday:

Sunday:

My result: (write your result here)

At the end of the week rate yourself on the following scale:

Number of Points - How You Rate

1-7 You are not unquestionably trying, do you unquestionably want the goal?

8-13 Good start, but your in danger of not manufacture your goal

14-18 Your doing great, keep up the good work

19-21 Outstanding, you are sure to meet your goal

This consistent effort propels you towards your goal, and your goal towards you. Be on the look out for things that can move you more rapidly towards your goal. Things like, getting a raise, getting an income tax refund, receiving an extra paycheck, or rescue on medication by switching pharmacies or using a coupon. Use this money towards your goal. This is the Universe helping you, so don't squander your opportunity.

Your goal may not be to go on a vacation or deal with money, but you should be able to take the idea from this narrative to help you toward your personal goal. Just make sure that you make your goal and actions believable and that your committed to them. Telling yourself that your going to rehearsal one-hour a day may sound believable, but unless your 100% committed to it, you are probably going to stop doing it before you get to your goal. Good to set smaller goals with easier steps, for example, committing to take the stairs rather than the elevator, or committing to walk for 15 minutes per day. That is not only believable but you can fit it into the busiest of days. Loosing 10lbs may not be as glamorous as 30lbs, but breaking your goal into chunks with real consistent operation will get results. Luck isn't indispensable when you have a consistent ideas towards a realistic goal.
