What Should Being Successful With Achieving Your Goal, Tell You About Yourself?

Everyone has dreams and aspirations they want to achieve in life. Mines are to eventually earn my PhD in Health Management, write a book on the social economic conditions that plague Black Communities and to hopefully run for US Senate in the near not too distance future. All amiable and lofty aspirations, but one thing; that is all they will ever become unless I take ownership of my dreams and turn them into reality. Dreams can inspire you, but more importantly, goals can change your life. Taking your dreams and turning them into goals is no easy task, it often comes with a price; time, effort, sweat, determination, and sometimes money. Goals are focused and precise objectives based on real life values that requires action. To achieve any goals, you must make sacrifices, stay committed, overcome adversity and stick to a plan. But how do I turn these far-fetched dreams into SMART Goals?

One learning goal that I want to develop is to be more confident. I want to achieve this goal so that I can meet more people. I’m kind of shy, but there are a lot of people that I would like to get to know. To achieve this goal I need to reflect more deeply about why I feel shy or intimidated. I think I need to believe in myself more and like myself more. This obviously won’t happen overnight. I know that this is going to take lot of continuous effort, but I also know that this will help me immensely in the long run. Another learning goal that I want to develop in the semester

In the beginning of the semester, I felt a little annoyed that I had to plan a personal goal. I was afraid that I was going to fail once again during the journey of losing weight. My personal goal was to lose five pounds by April 1, 2016. I had planned to achieve this goal by eating healthier snacks, exercising, and meal prepping. Trying to achieve this goal was not easy. I had a constant temptation of breaking my diet and I kept trying to buy fast food whenever I saw myself tight with my school and work schedule. However, I was able to achieve my goal because I was meal prepping every night, I kept an alarm on my phone to remind me when I should be exercising, I read articles that provided me with a list of healthy foods, I carried a picture

Success is a word that really hard to define, because everyone will have a different definition for this word. In fact, there no exact definition for the word "success". For a student, maybe the success means to pass all courses of the semester; for a business man, signing a importance contract and get a lot of money are successes; and for a president, leading the country to develop and make the people have a better life are success. For me, I also have my own definition for the word "success". When I was a kid, I really want to be a scientist, but after I become mature, my thinking has become more mature and my definition of success also

Success can mean different things to different people. The definition of success can change for a person at different stages of their life. A person's culture, family, friends, experiences, and environment can be a big influence on defining what success is to that individual. We all hear the stories of people failing and failing until one day they make it to the top, beat the bad guy or pass the trial. The story can also go that they got all they desired or raised up from the ashes. All of these have one thing in common, it is at the end of the story. It's never the beginning or middle. It's always at the end of the story that the person succeeds in their quest. But why does it have to be at the end? Simply, like how there is no good without evil. You can not have succeed without struggling and failing first.

Having goals is what sets the victor apart from the loser. An individual must apply goals to their life in order to be successful. I have learned from personal experience that in order to succeed in anything you do in life, you need to have goals to achieve. I would not be where I am today if it weren't for being determined to accomplish the goals that I set for myself.

“She’s pregnant!? Are you oblivious? Your life is over… Do you not realize what is going to happen? You MUST drop out and work to feed your family from now on! I thought you were smarter than this.” This type of verbal abuse continued in my brother-in-law’s family, but as buoyant as both my sister, and her boyfriend were at age 17, this only fed fuel to their fire for triumph. In this day of age, many unplanned pregnancies throughout young adults have discouraged their higher hopes and dreams. Many use the excuse “reality knocked me off my feet” or “things happen for a reason”. Who gave you this excuse…? Are you not the artist of your own reality? You can perhaps lash back at me with a higher power as the answer. Well, I am here to prove to

After recently completing my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree, even though this week has been very hectic with acclimating myself to the electronic learning environment, I am afraid this is just the lull before the storm. Discussion board postings, research papers, presentations, developing WIKI pages, and if I read correctly even learning how to blog are important learning expects that are of this program that are waiting just over the horizon. Organization will be a key factor in staying on task each week. I like several others, still hold fast to my trusty three ring binders where I keep the items I deem most important readily at hand for frequent review. My one item that I cannot manage to convert entirely to an electronic format is my calendar; I prefer to have a paper print-out in the front of each class binder where I can list each assignment on the day it is due. I have my own color-coding system to keep on track. Then I check each item off as it is completed, I have a quick visual confirmation, as well as a sense of accomplishment with just a quick glance when I see tasks marked off.

People often ask me “What significant experiences have influenced my goal to be a PA”. I want to become a PA in an effort to practice in community health in the medically underserved populations; the proper medical treatment of these groups is what I hope to contribute to solving.

Being a success in life is great because you may have alot of money, people will respect you, and Your life in general will be great but, its not all that easy. There are many challenges that come with being successful, and there is a long hard path to go down if you do want to be successful. Being successful is not something given to you, it is something that is earned. So, what makes a person successful?

The dictionary definition of success is “the accomplishment of an aim or purpose”, while this is true, I personally hold a definition of success to a higher standard. With failure being a crucial part of ultimately reaching success, the definition therefore is not simply accomplishing a goal, a task, or overcoming a challenge, rather it is working hard to achieve that goal to the best of one’s ability and learning valuable life or academic lessons along the way. To me it is the knowledge gained that can be applied to other aspects of one’s life that is of utmost importance when working towards a goal, regardless of the outcome.

Being able to achieve a goal is an amazing feeling. Achieving a goal feels like you are on top of the world, like nothing can touch you. However, with most goals there is a challenging road ahead to reaching the goal. For example, education goals are very important, these types of goals can keep a person on track. I like to set a academic goal every year, for instance, maintaining a certain GPA through the entire year. For others it maybe turning in all assignments, or being on time to every class. These are examples of small education goals. My big education goal is to go to college, because I know by going to college I can have a better opportunity for a great future. Getting the best possible knowledge of the world is very important to me.

What can having determination do to bring you success this will you show your firmness of purpose. Having determination will change how you feel about your future and getting tasks completed. If you’re determined on becoming successful setting your mind to it will always help and setting goals as well. Determination leads to success

As a child and even as a teenager one tends to make dreams and set goals for life. On occasion these goals are far stretched and sometimes even fairy-tale like, we tend to see life through a rose-colored glass, not taking into account the many sidetracks life throws our way. At that stage in life our goals tend to be less focused and somewhat unreachable. However, the process of growing up, or maturing, tends organized and center our goals, we learn to make compromises and set goals for our goals. There are different types of goals, short term and long term. I have learned to separate the many goals I have into three main categories: family, professional and personal.
