I read this article today. I know that we are well into the "new" year, but I still found it to be inspiring. I feel that we should all be working towards becoming the best person that we can be. I feel like overall I am in a very good place with my life right now. There are a few minor things that I would change, but overall I am happy. After reading that article, I decided to make a list of goals for the rest of the year. I don't feel like making them public at this time, but I think they were quite reasonable.
One of the keys to being successful with goal setting is to have measurable goals. One cannot simply say, "I want to read more." This was one of the goals I wanted to put on my list, but to make it measurable I instead put, "Read 15 books by 12/31/14". By making it measurable, I will know if I have reached my goal or not!
Another thing that I personally think helps with goal achievement is reasonable rewards. I know that intrinsic rewards are the best rewards, but sometimes it's nice to just treat yo'self to something you've earned.
Finally, the only way to actually achieve your goals is through internal motivation. You have to want it. No one else is going to make you lose 20 lbs or run a marathon. You have to do it for you!
I'm not really sure what the point of this post was supposed to be, but I was just feeling very motivated and inspired today and thought that I should share my inspiration with you.
