Dear BA’ians,
We are sure a lot of you experience anger, frustration at your inability to hit your goals, to make life work as you want it to go. But dear friends, life is a journey that comes packed with lessons that it wants you to learn, just so that you get better as a person. Life is much much deeper that we give credit to it for. Do not take life’s challenges as a threat, or bad luck, rather go embrace it because only then will you be able to understand the reason that challenge has come your way.
Having understood that we alone have to face life and build it, we must take full advantage of it. We must become accountable for this precious life given to us and own responsibility for making it a success or a failure. We cannot complain about life’s situations and blame others for what we make of it.
Also we cannot live in false hopes that success will come our way without efforts. the only thing that happens without effort is growing old.
A young an was asked, ‘What have you done to become a twenty five year old person?’ He replied, ” I did not die despite my driving!’
‘That was God’s doing, not yours!’ That we live and grow is nature’s efforts. ‘How ‘ we live and progress is our effort. We must put forth efforts to grow gracefully and successfully.
There are 4 types of people- ‘Those who ‘make it happen’, ‘Those who talk of making it happen’, ‘ those who talk of what happened’, and those who wonder’ what happened!’
We have to take charge of our life and ‘make it happen’
Now how do go about making it happen. We are sure most of you have tried several times, but somehow have lost the plot as to how to go about doing it!!
Well to start with, it is very important to have goals in your life. Goals are like a GPRS in a car, that give direction and speed to our movement.
Goals should be divided into 3 categories i.e.
- Short Term( ranging from a week to a month)
- Mid Term( Ranging from a month to 3 months)
- Long Term( Ranging from 3 months to a year or more depending on how clear your vision is)
Now how best to go about achieving your goals?
Some steps that will help you in this exercise:
1) Get a spiral notebook this very day and write down ten to fifteen goals that you would like to achieve in the foreseeable future.
2) Each night before you go to sleep, visualize and imagine your life as it will be when you have achieved your goals. Well make visualisation a regular part of your life. Invest the time regularly to create exciting mental pictures of yourself and your life exactly as you ant them to be. Then, have complete faith that your pictures will materialize exactly when you are ready.
3) Think of 3 things that you could do to achieve each of your goals. Always think in terms of specific actions you could take.
4) Discipline yourself to rewrite your goals every day, without reviewing your previous list, until you become absolutely convinces that achieving your goals is inevitable.
5) Be completely honest and realistic about your life and your goals. Be willing to accept, in every area of your life where you experience stress and resistance, that you could be wrong or that you have made a mistake. Resolve today to cut your losses and leakages that prevent you from achieving your goals whenever possible.
Also look into each problem or obstacle you face and seek the valuable lesson or benefit it contains. Each life’s problem comes with a lesson that it wants us to learn, so never get lost in the life’s problem itself, rather let you logical mind come to play, and find a reason and solution out of the problem. Remember friends, we ourselves are the solution to most of our problem. There is no problem in life that cannot be resolved, provided we allow ourselves to take charge.
