Career and Goal Development

You want to be as specific as possible. This will help your brain sees clearly on

what you want to accomplish, so it can search for it quicker and better.

For example, if your goal is to buy a red car, and your goal statement says, “I want a red car,” then it will be difficult for the brain to find the red car for you because there are thousands of red cars out there.

Your brain does not know which red car you want.

If you have a more specific goal statement such as, “I want a red, Toyota, corolla, SE, four doors, tail, sun roof, with leather chairs,” then the brain knows exactly what you want and then it will work harder to make sure you get that one.

The brain does a good job of getting what you want, but you have to make it easy and clear for your brain to see it.

For example, it is like when you are driving under a foggy weather.

It will take you a longer time and not as productive to get where you want to go when you drive under a foggy weather compared to when the weather is clear.

You want to put the exactly day, month, year, and time when you will accomplish your goal.

Even though you might not accomplish your goal on the target date, because life is not perfect, the brain will work harder and faster when it sees the specific date and time compared to when you do not have them.

In addition, you cannot aim for something if you do not have something to target at.

The brain likes to see pictures and colors; it makes your brain excited and active.

You can draw your own picture or cut out a picture that represents your goal.

Or you can do both. It is all up to you. This is your chance to be creative

because it will be something that you will want to enjoy looking at it on a daily basis to help reinforce your brain.

Also, you might want to keep your goal and picture after you accomplished it to look back to see how far you have gone.

You have to discover your reasons or purposes on why you want to accomplish your goal.

Nothing can achieve greatly without a steady purpose.

Everyone can have the same goal, but each of us will have a different reason for it.

One of the main reasons why many people fail to accomplish their goals is because their reasons do not match their own beliefs.

When you have the right reason, you will believe in yourself more to help you accomplish your goal quicker.

Whenever you set a goal, you want to ask yourself, “What or how exactly will your life change if you are able to accomplish your goals?”

For example, if you are happier, how are you becoming a happier person?

What things are improved in your life that is making you a happier person?

Most importantly, do you know what happiness is?

You cannot just say you will become a happier person because that is not specific enough for the brain.
