So often we tend to wrap ourselves about all what we could do and would do but don’t do. This book helps to change the mindset from “I do not want to do” to “let’s do it”. To accomplish any worthy deliberate desire defined as goal, first and foremost, is its alignment with our core values. Then it is important to devise a schedule and stick to it. In this book, identifying your goals and creating an action-plan is described in detail. Your aspirations for your future are the foundation for setting goal(s) for your personal and professional life. Nothing can stop you once you decide what you want. But you have to decide. Still, all the worthy goals and well-crafted action plan do not yield the desired results. If we are serious about achieving our goals, rather than considering what kind of success we want, we should ask "What kind of pain do I want?" Everybody wants a gold medal. Few people want to train like an Olympian. Make your goals SMART. SMART is an acronym that stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-based. The benefits of SMART goals are that they provide sufficient details and direction to measure success. Review your goals and re-write any that need them as SMART goals. While our intelligence finds a way about our life, our emotions decides our willingness to follow the path. Success depends on proper balance between our logic and emotions. In this book, various ways are described to break your inertia…. to take that first step (which is the hardest). Also, the role of Belief system in your success is detailed. The Belief Cycle is a feedback loop between belief, potential, action, and results. The cycle dictates that the results you achieve are in direct proportion to the action you take. The actions that you take are determined by the belief you have in your potential. While you are working towards your goals, self-sabotage can sneak in unnoticed. Self-sabotage occurs when the desire to reduce threats exceeds the drive to reach goals. Various examples of self-sabotage and how to check it are discussed in the book. Fear plays an important role in deciding whether we will attempt a particular action or not. Fear-setting is discussed in this book. Fear-setting is an exercise to logically evaluate, control and minimize your worst fears. Finally, any action attached to happy emotions is self-sustaining. Breaking your goals into smaller doable segments helps to achieve them consistently. Nothing succeeds like success. The small victories experienced over and over again generate enough momentum to head toward the bigger goals. When you act assertively, you act out of strength, with the right mindset and awareness that you are as valuable as any other person on this planet. Celebrate the small victories. Own your failures. Keep going. It's when you don't give up that you win.
