Following is our list of 6 tips on goals setting¹ which should help you to succeed. We hope that these tips are helpful to you today and that you enjoy reading them.

 

Tip 1 – Write goals that align² with your values. 写下和你的价值观相一致的目标。

If you set yourself goals that you’re interested in completely, then you may struggle to complete them. It can be difficult to achieve our goals anyway, but when your heart isn’t in it, it will be that much harder to achieve your goals.

 

You want to set goals that you’re interested in so that you will enjoy trying to achieve them, and will get something great out of them at the end when you do achieve them. If you set yourself boring or uninteresting goals, then you are not going to be able to find the motivation to achieve them.

 

Setting goals can give your life meaning, so you want those goals to be in line with the way you wish for your life to go. We all only live once, and so we should all enjoy life. Set yourself some goals that you’re going to enjoy.

 

Tip 2 – Set goals that you can control.  制定你能控制的目标

There are many things in life that are beyond our control. For example, if you set yourself a goal of getting married and having children before you’re 30, you might find that you feel overwhelmed³ with press to find the right person in a short space of time. However, the reality of life is that it simply just happens to us. You can’t force a meaningful relationship, and you can force someone to want the same things as you. Some things such as this are beyond our control, and so it would be impossible to set yourself realistic goals based on those uncontrollable aspects of life.

 

What you need to do instead, is think about setting goals that you yourself can control. For example, if you want to travel to a certain place, you can more than likely realistically make that happen and complete that goal fairly easily.

 

When setting goals, be sure to set realistic goals, otherwise you will find yourself being disappointed every day, and that is no way to live. You will find that you have less quality of life and may be more prone⁴ to stress, depression and anxiety if you find yourself constantly setting unrealistic and unattainable goals.

 

Tip 3 – Think big. 想的远一些

lthough it’s important to avoid setting yourself impossible goals, it is also equally as important to set yourself big goals. The bigger the goal you set, the more accomplishment⁵ you are going to feel after you smash⁶ that goal.

 

It is important to believe in yourself and believe that you can achieve the things that you want out of life. Sit down today and set yourself a number of goals, both big and small. Some will be easier to achieve than others. However, if you put your mind to it, you really can accomplish anything.

 

There should be no goal too high that you feel you can’t achieve. If you work hard enough, you can achieve anything that you want to. So with that in mind, set yourself some goals today and then work hard as of today to achieve all of those goals.

 

Tip 4 – Give yourself time. 给你自己时间

Great things take time and it is a known fact that ‘good things come to those who wait’. With that in mind, you should never rush to achieve your goals. Be a believer that whatever happens in life happens for a reason. With this mindset, you will find that your goals become even easier to achieve.

 

Of course, it is still important to take steps every single day towards achieving your goals. However, there is no need to rush through your life in order to achieve all of those goals. Don’t lose your life by trying to achieve your goals. Allow yourself to live in the process of working towards your goals.

 

Set yourself a plot in your head of how you want your life to go and chances are, things will fall that way. If you allow yourself to visualise where you want to be in life, then you will find it much easier to achieve those goals naturally.

 

Tip 5 – Plan for success. 为成功做计划

Try to avoid thinking about the possibility of failure and instead prepare yourself for success. There are always things that will get in  your way along the journey to achieving your dreams, however, it is important to always try to focus on the positives and focus on the fact that success is a great possibility.

Worrying about not achieving your goals is pointless and a complete waste of your time. The time spent worrying about not achieving your goals is time that could be spent getting out there and working hard to ensure that you do achieve all of your goals.

 

Focus on the positives of every situation and be sure to always keep your eyes on the prize. Stay focussed on what it is that you’re aiming for and what you want to achieve. That way, you avoid the need for worry and can focus on achieving the goal at hand instead of worrying about the chances of failure.

 

Tip 6 – Manage your risks. 管理你的风险

There will always be risks in everything that you do and it is important to remember that. No matter what the goal is that you’re setting, there will be some level of risk to consider, and you will need to plan for the possibility of those risks getting in the way of you achieving your goals.

 

Once you create a goal for yourself, you want to plan out how you’re going to go about achieving it. This is where risk management will come in handy⁷. You should plan out ways to achieve your goals whilst⁸ keeping those potential risks in mind.

 

With every goal that you set yourself, be sure to evaluate the risks before creating a plan of how you’re going to achieve it. This will make it easier to come up with a productive⁹ solution to achieving that goal, as well as keep your focus away from worries.
