Practice after Class
Too often people set a difficult task, then give up. Goals should be focused on what is achievable. Once you’ve defined your goal, write it down. High achievers trace their accomplishments to the time when they committed their goals to paper. Breaking a goal down into bite-size pieces makes achieving it seems less fearful. A technique called backward planning consists of setting an objective and then retracing the steps needed to achieve it. A goal is a dream with a deadline. Deadlines provide a time frame for action and get us moving in the striving for our dreams. If you are really committed, you will make that goal a reality. Set an ambitious target and commit to it. You'll find you can rally resources you never thought you had. Usually, it’s the anticipation of failure that paralyzes, not failure itself. We survive our failures. We pick ourselves up and try again. We have to. Along the way to any goal, you will be confronted with obstacles. Belief in yourself can act as an anesthetic against these setbacks.
