How To Achieve your Personal goals and Objectives?

 I came across this blog post by David Risley titled The Circles of Life. It got me wondering as to how do we go about achieving our personal goals after we set them? A quick search on google, gave me a huge list of sites telling you how to set your personal goals, but I couldn't find any that adviced me how to achieve my personal goals.

So here is my take on how to achieve personal goals.

Keep Your Self-Talk Positive:

I believe that it is essential to keep your personal goals to yourself. We might need to disclose this only to a select few people who are essential for the achievement of personal development goals. This is so because often the people around you cannot relate to your personal goals and may try to  undermine your ideals.

Each day review your personal goals again, especially those that you have already achieved! This will help you stay positive,  just visualize your completed goal - it might be your pay check which shows a bonus or may be you lost some weight on your new diet and exercise regimen, a new vehicle you bought. Then do the same before you go to bed. By doing this routinely you will feel much better about yourself and will get your sub-conscious working towards your personal goals and objectives.

Every time you make a decision during the day, ask yourself this question, "Does it take me closer to, or further from my goal." If the answer is "closer to," then you've made the right decision. If the answer is "further from," well, you know what to do.

If you follow this process everyday you will be on your way to achieving unlimited success in every aspect of your life.

What do you think? Is this the right approach?

Pathetic Punjab

The fielding and bowling performance of the Punjab team was awful to say the least.The way they played today, I do not think that they would be able to defeat even a school team. Pathetic performance. The batting up front was much better compared to their previous outing, but the finishers should have provided impetus at the end. Yuvraj seriously has to take more burden on himself, he has put on so much weight and doesn't look the fielder of the early noughties.

Mount Sachin!

Yes. Another piece on Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. India's Favourite Son, Hero and Inspiration.

Congratulations!

Maharashtra Decided to recommend Him for Bharat Ratna!

Shouldn't all other states follow?

All Hail Tendulkar!

For A Winter's Night : Sunday Book Review

Title: Deep Kiss of Winter
Author: Kresley Cole and Gena Showalter
Published by : Pocket Books, New York; 2009
Pages: 436

Kresley Cole, the best selling, award-winning author of paranormal and historical romance novels released another of her Anthologies last October. 'Deep Kiss of Winter' unlike her other anthologies is complex and has a deep rooted story line which will give you satisfaction as you keep turning the pages. The two stories will make you feel that the book's worth what you paid.

The book is a continuation of Kresley Cole's novel "Untouchable" & Gena Showalter's "Tempt me Eternally". The plot is exciting as it involves mystical creatures, passion, romance, sacrifice and a streak of wild love running through all these giving birth to an enthralling saga. You'll love the way in which Murdoch's and Daniella's story develops, a rarity in the urban fantasy genre.

On the other hand Gena wields her magic efficiently narrating the story of Breean the Rackan whose world has been destroyed by the Schon queen. Breean and his men are now the last of their untainted race and they have decided to find a new world to live in peace. Unfortunately, when they arrive through a portal to earth, they are ambushed by the AIR. Macy has a secret. She can shift and change her identity, but cannot control it under extreme emotions. In her latest identity she finds herself as the newest member of the AIR team, an elite enforcement team sworn to protect earth from aliens.



The duo has done a great work to make this book a fabulous read one won't want to miss.

Knockout Entrepreneur - Sunday Book Review

Title: Knockout Entrepreneur

Author: George Foreman with Ken Abraham
Published by : Thomas Nelson, Nashville, Tennessee; 2009
Pages: 237



When I heard about this great concept about giving books to bloggers for free in exchange for a review, I jumped at the opportunity. I have always been a book person, as they never hurt you and when there are no friends around they keep you company. Well after joining this program and browsing through the books on offer, I selected a book by the boxing legend - George Foreman. Now, boxing isn't big here in India (Cricket rules), so I did not know what to expect. It took about 3 weeks for the book to arrive, and the more I waited, the more I regretted opting for the book. Thoughts like, What will i do with it?, Will it be any good?, Will I understand any of the writing? etc.. started swirling in my head.

When it arrived last week, I was pleasantly surprised at the thought behind the book!! As the author says on the first page -
this book is about success and significance -not just mine, but yours!
George Foreman for me was a boxer who made umpteen comebacks in his career, apart from that I knew nothing of his life. So it was with trepidation that I began reading this book. I thought what will this athlete know about successful business? The few athletes I knew who set shop didn't last for long. But after turning a few pages and delving into the written word, I was hooked and read through the various somewhat unimaginative chapter titles such as "Pain is the Middle Name of the Game" or "You Gotta Make' Em Love" and other such. The writing though is very stress free and easy to understand.

There are not many breakthrough ideas though; just practical daily thoughts which most of us do not seem to have! The good thing about this book , is the matter of fact presentation of the authors failures and how he saw an opportunity in them to succeed. This is very much highlighted, when he loses his final boxing game, but uses it as an opportunity to hard sell his Barbecue Grill.
I review for BookSneeze
This Book obtained from Booksneeze for free
This book is quite good and might help each one of us to look at things differently and turn failure into success. A welcome addition to a range of books in my library, though definitely not in the same league as books such as The Monk Who Sold his Ferrari and such.

I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
