‘If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or objects’
Albert Einstein
I was born like everyone else in this universe. I brought up in independent India. I shared natural gifts that were given by the supreme power, I gained Knowledge within the sources. I have the power to judge what is good and bad. I became a complete man. I have my own personality. I have responsibilities. Society gave me many things and I paid something back to the society. Too many things are happening around the world. Many people discovered and invented too many things. They got name and fame, money and material and they will be remembered for ever. No one will ever remember me. Because I didn’t do anything extraordinary that gives me some recognition.
I started thinking. I got ideas, I had goals. I desired something. I planned. I have struggled. I have shown my perseverance. I have overcome impediments. I reached my goals. Again I got ideas….
I believe in incarnation, and I do not want to make procrastination of present burning ideas for renais- sance. Everyone in this universe has natural talent. Lethargically, we never try to tap our skills and strengths and excel on this. Reasons – lack of interest – low confidence levels – not believing in one’s own self – not having passion to do and achieve wanted things. With experience you gain knowledge – with knowledge you enlighten yourself and surroundings.
My sincere advice to all, who do not have any goals in their life, is – stop reading this book, and spend some times to set your goal and start reading. So, everyone has a goal. Goals are to be extended once reached. Goal never forms itself; it has to be cultivated by thingking, which in turn produces and idea. Idea forms the desire to achieve something in life, which is nothing but Goal. Take a moment to think about the goals you’ve set for yourself. Every success naturally begins with an excellent idea, but what is the essen- tial ingredient that make idea become reality, is the fuel of human desire. Naturally, an idea always gives us a temporary feeling of inspiration, but burning desire is what gets us through all the obstacles and impediments along the way.
Cumulative desire
Country never had a burning desire, but its people had. That is called cumulative desire, which is must for any country to grow socially, economically and technologically. Here, you can take an example of the “centum” by ISRO with PSLV C21 on 09 Sep 2012. Once ISRO reached its goal on centum, it has set another goal. Likewise, in India we need more entrepreneurs, who can set the goals and direct a path to make India a super power by making employment to millions of people, thus fulfilling the cumulative desire.
Here, I would like to bring one quotation, which our former Indian President says, “Dream and dream, and dream big, and accomplish those dreams”. When human beings imagine they dwell plethora of ideas, When we start thinking on particular thing, there should not be dearth of ideas, Invariably, we have pen- chant for many things and only few ideas will work out which we are capable of doing it. Now, let me ask you one simple question, what is your dream in life? What do you want more than anything else in your life?
I want to be an entrepreneur I want to be a civil servant
I want to become a famous doctor
I want to become a project leader in level 5 Software Company I want to have lots of money
I want name and fame
I want to travel around the world
I want to have big bungalows in major cities of the country I want to be a writer
I want my own business
I want to provide millions of jobs to my country men I want to have cars from all of the best brands
I want to become the best marketing person I want to invent new things
I want to be a top realtor
And the list endless……
It is fine that we have goals of highest nature. The question is how to acquire these goals! What are the qualities and personal traits that we need to have before we start to go for the process of accomplishment.
“I LIKE WHAT I GET”, is the same thing as “I GET WHAT I LIKE” – No! I like what I get is a complacency and contentment on personal level, up to some extent. But, getting what you like is something you have been long cherished and made it happen. Making your mission possible – with burning desire – by using your intelligentsia nothing but soft skills
What is a goal?
A goal is a long cherished dream put in action to turn into reality, by putting required efforts in a systematic manner, to achieve expected and desired results in a prescribed time.
Why goals are important?
To dream is natural and we all get dreams. If you want to be someone that makes things happen rather than just dreaming, then you need to set goals. You must have a clear goal and have a plan to achieve that goal. Goals without action are empty dreams. Remember setting personal goals doesn’t have to be a big deal, but getting started is very important, Imagination is more powerful than reality and when possible imagination becomes reality that is an invention with creativity. All goals are set with imagination and the process to reach the goal involves hard work, enthusiasm, focus, determination and discipline without getting tired while working towards the targets. Goals are the very purpose of life and just a beginning towards success.
Daily check sheet for goal accomplishment
Did I set the right goal?
Is my goal realistic and achievable?
Am I doing the right thing in achieving my goal? Am I going to achieve my goal in time?
What are the problems I am facing in the process? Do I need supportive group?
Shall I get what I want with this goal?
You need to go through the points mentioned above on daily basis in order to ensure that the progress of goal achievement is as pereceived.
Reasons for your goal
There should not be a goal without any valid reason, Inadvertently people have goals, either they need something desperately or they have fond of achieving something. Many people say they want to achieve something, and after a while they lose interest because of procrastination in implementing. It is because they don’t know the real reason, why they want this specific goal. Why do we want achieve our goal in first place? Does it give us monetary benefits! Safe and secured Life! Name and Fame! Without strong burning desire and will power, we will give up quickly; we will not persist and put assiduous efforts. Hence we won’t achieve what we had in mind.
Time and again, I have been listening that “cultivating burning desire is the only way to achieve some- thing.” Fine, but what exactly is “burning desire”? And, how we shall be able to cultivate it? Once you set a goal for yourself, act immediately, More often than not, people get stuck in finalizing the executable plan. You can develop your plan later, but get moving first. Just start doing the action you need to take. Procras- tination is the root cause for giving up the goals in mid way. How devoted are you in achieving these goals? What are impediments that come on your way to continue with? What if you assiduously increase your desire to achieve your goal? You will either find a way or make one. Those with a strong burning desire to achieve their goals are often referred to as being obsessed by some factors. What are those factors? Before we go through these factors, have ideas about the following tidbits:-
If you have a pen and want to use it, what you do? Write something.
If you have a gun and want to use it, what you do? Shoot something. (Often not for killing people) If you have an Idea and want to use it, what you do? Set a goal and accomplish by implementing it. Pick the right goal
Making choice in order to pick the right goal is not an easy task. At this critical stage, take SWOT analysis and pick the right goal. Since you are going to work on this goal rigorously, to achieve it, putting all your intelligentsia and efforts, there is a need to go with your intuition. By and large, picking choice is intriguing act. When you have plethora of ideas in your mind, and cooking inadvertently, you should always take care of these mental blocks to pick the right idea and converting into a goal. Your decision making skill is tested at this stage for trajectory course of your goal. To overcome this quandary, you have to choose the goal meticulously which eventually pave the way for better results.
Power of dreams and goals
Does anybody has any idea what is the power of dreams and goals? Today’s accomplishments are yesterday’s dreams, goals and ideas. If you have a glance, around you, at the iphone, ipods, ipads, tablets, facebook, google, twitter, you tube, man-to-the-Mars, these were all powerful dreams of people at some point of time. For any invention, our dreams are the crux for any kind of success and dreams just never come out of our mind, unless we put ourselves in thinking in a substantial manner, through which we shall be able to develop more and more ideas.
No Ideal conditions for anyone
If you go and check anyone, who has ever done anything in their life, you may find that they have acquired some skills and maintained throughout their life. There were no ideal conditions; they had done all those things in adverse conditions. Once we have a goal, what are the qualities and personality traits that we need to have, will be highly important, without which nothing can be achieved. These are very crucial.
Here are the skill set, those can take you to cultivate burning desire to achieve any goal that you set for yourself:-
Assertive Communication Emotional Intelligence Effective Communication Impeccable Personality Motivation
Leadership Qualities Team Building Decision Making Problem Solving Time Management Stress Management Creative Thinking Innovative Ideas Out of box thinking Enthusiasm Discipline
