Dreams Vs Goals

Dreams  are different from goals, you might be a little bit confused; Allow me to explain further.

Your dreams are a set of visions you want to see occur, it's what you imagine while your goals are a set of missions you are likely to achieve. You can have numerous dreams and goals, but the effort put towards accomplish those dreams and goals differs. From my own point of view, you Tend to have a set of goals planned which are your mission into realising your dreams which are your visions;The outcome.
It is important to note that having an undefined goal would lead to an undefined outcome. If your dream is to be the next president of Nigeria and your goals towards  achieve that dream is tailored into becoming the next rated urban artist, then my dear,  you are long lost from actualising your dreams. This why I would give 10 simple tips in achieving your life goal.

1. Choose the goals that inspire you.
Go goal hunting. Find something that wouldn't loose your interest after a short period of time.

2. Be proactive.
Life goals are the ones you dream about happening ‘one day’ but never today. This approach has to change if you want make things happen. You need to stop scrolling through social media, wishing you had that job, that lifestyle, that social life and instead, get out there and be proactive.

3. Cast Negativity away.
Project negativity to the world and it will come right back at you. Tell yourself ‘you can’t do this and you can’t do that’ and you won’t be able to do it. As cliche as it sounds, having a ‘can do attitude,’ even if you’re faking it, can really help you realise your goals. Whenever doubt starts to creep into your mind, swat it away and be a glass half full kind of person.

4. Balancing is key
It’s easy to get obsessed with goal setting. You’re hooked and will do anything to get where you want to be. However, this carries the risk of burnout. Be realistic with your aims from the very beginning. Having drive is good, but remember that you’re also human and need rest and recuperation like everybody else.

5. Break it down

Setting goals and achieving them is hard. There are no shortcuts or easy routes, but that’s what makes the experience so rewarding.

If you start to feel overwhelmed, break everything down. Not just in terms of time but action points too. Specifically outlining what you want to achieve, when and by what means will make your goals feel much more attainable.


6. Embrace Failure 

Goal setting rarely runs smoothly. You will hit stumbling blocks that make you question why you attempted in the first place, but that’s part of it, and the sooner you accept that the better. Rather than letting failure bring you down, acknowledge that it’s happened and learn from it. Take note of what worked well, what didn’t and move on. It’ll make you a stronger goal setter.

7. Tell someone to guide you 

The first rule of goal setting is, talk about goal setting. Tell everyone who’ll listen what your plans are and how you intend to bring them to fruition.

8. Get Help

Don’t struggle alone. Sometimes there’s only so far you can take a project before you need a new perspective. This can be anything - maybe you’re training for a half marathon and no matter how hard you try, you can’t get your PB under that enviable 2 hour mark. At this point, you could perhaps call on the advice of a friend or even get in touch with realbuzz; our vibrant community of bloggers are sure to have a tip or two.

9.Track Your Progress

A huge incentive to make the finish line can be seeing how far you’ve come already. If your weight loss success has suddenly hit a standstill and you're tempted to fall back into old (bad) habits, remind yourself of how well you’ve done up to this point.

10. Visualize the end result 

Losing sight of the end result will encourage you to veer off course. One of the best ways to stay motivated is by visualising the change you want to see. Make this image clear in your mind - the ‘you’ in X amount of weeks time - so when the odd setback does happen, you won’t be fazed and will come back stronger than ever.



Stay motivated.

Get Out of ‘Bed’ And Grab The ‘Oar.’

Image
It is not what happens to us, but how we react that makes or breaks us. Life throws things at us when we least expect, some things are great, others are difficult. It is fascinating to watch the difference in peoples’ reactions and how some individuals can find good in basically anything, a silver lining in every cloud. Others fall apart when difficult circumstances arise, believing they are being victimised and showing little resistance to the situation at hand. It is important to note that the positive people are not the ones who gush positivity all day and night, going over the top about life and how wonderful it treats them. That’s just a step too far, I’m talking about realists who go through their day with a glass half full approach, choosing not to fall down when things don’t go to plan or a curve ball rolls out in front of them when least expected. We’d all love to be like this and here’s the way how. We need to get out of BED and grab the OAR. “What the heck doe...

Even Your Enemies Can Teach You Things

Image
How can you learn positive things from your enemies? * First of all, they are brutally honest with you because they have no interest in sugar coating things to remain in your good graces. * Second, you are important to them; sometimes even more important than their friends because most of your enemies will value themselves by the amount of envy you have for them. * Third, there is no person in this world that doesn’t have something positive to give you. Now let’s see the 10 teachings: 1.Evaluate yourself by your own standards. Not everybody likes you no matter how hard you try. Therefore, it is counterproductive to live your life only to please others; please yourself. Self-esteem is a way of being and not something that you have or don’t have. 2. Rejection is momentary so don’t carry it with you more than 20 seconds. Regroup, find a different way of getting what you want and move on. Rejection is not a failure; it is only a response and when you don’t like the res...
