4 MATHEMATICIAL Ds TO GLAMOROUS LIVING

4 MATHEMATICIAL Ds TO GLAMOROUS LIVING

Imagine living the life of your desired dreams. Imagine doing what you’ve always dreamed of for a living. Imagine having the time to do the things you love to do with your family and friends. Now, here’s the formula to make that happen: Desire + Decision X Determination = Destiny!

What does this mean? Let us look at the three components of the formula:

Desire

In a book titled The Road to Arrival, the writer describes desire as a state of being an unsatisfied longing (p. 105). Dreams are the product of desire. The starting point of all accomplishment is desire. The fact that you can imagine a certain kind of lifestyle from your self is a good indicator that you have a desire. A dream is simply a strongly desired goal. Desire is the key to motivation because it develops within us a passion to pursue that which we long for. Your desires, however, must be backed by good decision making.

Decision

Decision is the ignition key of progress because the instant one makes a solid decision, change will be automatic. It’s one thing to have good desires but it’s quite another to make a quality decision of getting up and pursuing those desires. Many people falter in this area because they do not want to make a commitment. Making a quality decision enables you to find the power of being committed towards your desires. Nothing ever changes until a man or woman makes a decision. Decision should lead to determination.

Determination

In a book titled Battling for your Prophetic Destiny, the writer wrote about Abraham Lincoln and how he had many failures yet remained determined to pursue the dream of becoming America’s president. Lincoln himself said, “Always remember that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other thing”. Once you make a decision to pursue a dream, there will be many obstacles and challenges to keep you from working towards your dream. You must be persistent.

So, a positive Desire + Decision X Determination = Positive DESTINY

The key to realizing your desired destiny is to make a decision to be determined as you pursue it. You can live the life of your dreams. You can reach all your goals and surpass them. Stay focused!

6Ds TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOALS

6Ds TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOALS

Don't let your goals and resolutions fall by the wayside. Chances are that to achieve your dreams and live a life you love, those goals and resolutions are crucial. Goal setting and goal achievement are easier if you follow these six steps for effective and successful goal setting and resolution accomplishment.

ü  Deeply desire the goal. Napoleon Hill, in one of his landmark books titled “Think and Grow Rich” he said, "the starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak             desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat." In a nut shell, I would say that the very first step in setting and achieving your dreams or goals is to have the DESIRE!

ü  Determine to achieve the goal. Lee Iacocca said, "The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind." If the goal is a thing, how will it feel together with your living? Some genius of goal setting or some good goal setter recommends that you keep a picture of the item where you can see them and be reminded of them daily. If you can’t picture yourself achieving the goal, you won’t!

ü  Draft a plan for the conduit you need to follow to accomplish the goal. Schedule a procedure to follow by identifying the critical and most difficult path. The critical or most difficult path defines the key accomplishments along the way, the most important steps that must happen for the goal to become a reality. Stephen Covey said, "All things are created twice. There's a mental or first creation, and a physical or second creation of all things. You have to make sure that the blueprint, the first creation, is really what you want, that you've thought everything through. Then you put it into bricks and mortar. Each day you go to the construction shed and pull out the blueprint to get marching orders for the day. You begin with the end in mind." I think He's right, but the question is how dedicated are you?

ü  Dedicate yourself to achieving the goal by writing down the goal. Lee Iacocca said, "The discipline of writing something down is the first step toward making it happen." I agree completely. Write down the plan, the action steps and the critical path. Somehow, writing down the goal, the plan and a timeline sets events in motion that may not have happened otherwise. In my own life, it is as if I am making a deeper commitment to goal accomplishment. I can’t fool myself later. The written objective really was the goal.

ü  Devote times for checking your progress in your calendar system, whatever it is: a day planner, a PDA, a PDA phone or a hand written list. If you’re not making progress or feel stymied, don't let your optimism keep you from accomplishing your goals. No matter how positively you are thinking, you need to assess your lack of progress. Adopt a pessimist’s viewpoint; something will and probably is, going to go wrong. Take a look at all of the factors that are keeping you from accomplishing your goal and develop a plan to overcome them. Add these plan steps to your calendar system as part of your goal achievement plan.

ü  Develop your overall progress regularly. Make sure you are making progress. If you are not making progress, hire a coach, tap into the support of loved ones, analyze why the goal is not being met. Don’t allow the goal to just fade away. Figure out what you need to do to accomplish it. Check the prior five steps starting with an assessment of how deeply you actually want to achieve the goal.

These six steps to goal setting and achieving techniques or system seem simple, but it is the most powerful technique or system you will ever find for achieving your goals. You, just give it a try!

Best wishes and good luck.
