Prioritize Your Goals and Achieve Success
Priorities are the hardest things for all to do. But, what I’ve noticed with my experience with women priorities are very challenging. That is because most women that I work with appropriate other people’s agendas. Their jobs, their partner’s, their families, children, etc., and this allows them to decide what’s important to them. But, is it? No.
The other thing I’ve notices is woman ignore their own priorities. It’s easier to make excuses than to fail at trying to achieve your goals.
Remember, priorities should be your own this increases your success in your goals. I’ve always noticed that when my clients know and are honest about their priorities, decisions are much more focused and clear. They understand the consequences of any choice they make and are able to manage them?
How do you prioritize your agenda? Write down your goals. Be honest with yourself about what is really important. Then consider the consequences, both good and bad’ and deal with them accordingly. This will help you manage your time more effectively. It’s also about getting rid of resentment when you have to put something else ahead of your priority because now you understand why. This also will help you get rid of goals that are really busy work. Believe it or not many goals are not yours but something someone suggested you should do or try and you don’t want to so its OK if you fail at them. But remember prioritizing goals makes sure your aspirations are important; this allows you to focus on what’s significant to you. Now you can’t blame anyone if they don’t happen. But, you will be so proud of yourself when you try and accomplish you desires.

This is so true and on so many different levels! It is truly amazing the power of setting realistic goals and achieving them. Not only do they give you the power of increasing your self esteem, but it is a healthy way of adding a bit of a pick me up to your life! When I start feeling the creeping edges of a pity party, I throw out a new and fun goal for my life. Whether it’s going from 8 Cokes a day to 2, not swearing for an entire 24 hour period, or not threatening my 9 year old son with holding him upside down by the toe nails for not picking up his shoes. Whatever my goal, it gives me new purpose and a wonderful outlook on life. Especially when the rewards are yummy!
