Paradigm Shift: Writing is not a hassle, but the very essence of life
1st tip: You need to express your goals, and it’s best to express them in positive terms.
I approximately agree. Expressing goals in positive phrases helps reminding advantages of our activity and also it is a method for avoiding temptation. Also it can be a good motivation; when you see your written goals in positive sentences, it may reveal you benefits and results that is a good motivation for giving up.
Nevertheless, I think in some cases expressing goals in negative terms is the best; because such this sentences can reveal you destructive effects of your activity or inactivity and this make sufficient motivation especially in cases you should avoid doing something, for instance, smoking.
2nd tip: It’s important to make goals clear and specific.
I definitely agree. Making goals clear and specific helps you define your process. Expressing goals in terms of phrases is like designing the road of your achievement. Designing it without any signs and introductions causes you can’t understand where you are exactly now, and you are in the right direction or not. Also you may leave your way because of not seeing any result. By making them specific, you put signs into your road that helps you reach your destination and define where your current position is.
3rd tip: Set a target which is within your control.
If someone agrees with this idea, it means he disapproves of “Risk” concept. I think sometimes risking can result a big progress that is hard to imagine when you are about reaching that in routine ways. So I believe in some cases you don’t have even control on conditions, with a bit being optimist you can pass your way perfectly.
4th tip: You get better results when you set achievable, feasible goals.
I definitely agree, but I think there is a noticeable comment: What is the definition of achievable and feasible goal? It is all depends on personal beliefs. Sometimes you think your achievable goal is a thing that can be really hard to achieve. Hence, if you beat your personal best, you can achieve, so it’s achievable. On the other hand, you may know achievable goal as a goal that is reachable by normal and routine attempts.
5th tip: Be sincere.
It is one of the main factors of healthy personality. So not only in making goals, but also in whole parts of the life being sincere and defeating the conflicts is necessary in order to have a healthy mind.
