Always Set Yourself Targets And Work Hard To Achieve Them

Mental Toughness, Persistence & Success- A Winning Trio

“If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.”– Jim Rohn

Hello My Friend,

I was always told by parents to always work towards a future goal or target and to ensure that you reached that goal. This they told me would make me a success in life. This article describes the importance of having a goal in life.

I read many books and I recently read a book that described the importance of having a goal in life. In the book’s example, a survey had been carried out at a school. The people surveyed were students who had recently taken their final exams. They were asked to answer various questions, one of which asked, where would you like to be in five years time?

Looking back I am sure that if you had asked me that question when I was sixteen, I would have had to put down, that I had no idea, as it was not something I had ever had thought about, despite my parent’s advice to set targets. I wanted to be a snooker player when in reality I had no chance of making the grade.

The people who carried out the survey reported that only five percent of the answers were accepted as having a goal. Five years later, the students were tracked down and the five percent of people who had had a goal, when their net asset worths were added together, the total amount was higher than all of the other peoples added together. Now, of course, money is not everything in life, however to me this shows that people who have a goal in life are more likely to be more successful than people who haven’t.

I then looked at my life I was twenty-two and had a net asset worth of zero! I had been working for six years and had nothing to show for it. I then started to think about the future and started setting some of my own goals.

This has helped me in a very big way, to purchase for example my first house.
