How to actually achieve your goals

This blog is not for the faint-hearted and I am not going to sugar-coat things,
You are either going to love or hate what I am going to say and that is fine.
The truth is that most people that I meet often talk about their goals but that is all that it is. TALK.
To achieve the goals you need to focus, act and persevere with them.
Life is full of distractions. Women, bars, men, clubs, social media, movies, series, video games, gambling, sex, and the list is never-ending
The hard truth is that most of us say that we really want something but do we really? When the chips are down we are too busy with entertainment or something to distract us from our busy schedules.
The bottom line here is that many of us make excuses and that is why we never end up getting what we really want.
Now that we are done with our excuses and have found desires again, let's look at how we can get you in a goal-setting mindset.
1. Write it down
I use a journal to keep track of my day-to-day objectives and long-term goals.
Journals are not for everyone but I would highly recommend using something to keep a record.
Other things that you could use instead of a journal could be a digital diary on your laptop, sticky notes on your phone or even a simple to-do list.
2. Short and sweet objectives
Make it as simple as possible when writing. Do not make them long and detailed as it will make you feel like it is a chore. Great example to use - call 50 old clients and follow up.
I find that long and detailed objectives tend to stress me out. It could just be me but I would rather have a short and simple list than a detailed essay which never gets done.
3. Self-Discipline
This is one of the hardest ones. Once you master this skill I am pretty sure you can do anything.
Please get into the habit of noticing that you say you are going to do it and then you don't. That just shows me and it shows you that you actually do not really want to do it. If you are not going to do the objectives that you want to achieve for the day then do not bother writing them down. You need to be focused, hungry and dedicated to making your life better. You need to get to the point where you finish all your work first and then relax later. Later will unlikely come and that will be another day wasted. Take action and work towards those objectives and goals.
4. Dedicate your time to it
It's all well putting down objectives to complete by the end of the day. The thing is to allocate time to complete them. There is no use putting down the objective if there is no time to do it. Allocate the time, stick to it and ensure that it fits into your day. If it requires sacrificing some movies or gaming then do it. The distractions will always be there later.
5. Stop listening to your friends
I love friends, family members and even loved ones but the only one that is going to get you from point A to point Z is YOU. Go to school, have a baby, I want grandchildren, you need to be a lawyer, you can't make money doing that... don't some of those silly things sound familiar? Everyone has so much to say, mostly negative statements about what you can and cannot do but who are they really? Do they pay your bills? Do they actually care and would they help you if you were down and out on the streets?
You need to be smart and yes, take advice from friends and family but do not let them tell you that you cannot do something or be something. You can do anything and be anyone that you want to be. It will require hard work, planning, goal-setting, and discipline but you can do it.
No one has the right to tell you that.
You need to look deep within yourself and ask yourself. What is it that I really want to do? It does not have to be forever, but ask yourself honestly as if no one cared. What would you do if money was no issue and you could do anything? What makes you get up in the morning? What gets you so excited that you could go out on the streets now to talk to anyone about that subject?
Those questions could lead to what it is that you really want. You just need to sit down with yourself and figure out what it is that you want. It is possible & it is out there if you really want it.
Listen to your heart and trust your gut.

GREAT LIFE LESSONS that you can learn from VIDEO GAMES
Gaming is fun but it is something that I really try to limit these days due to the work that I am doing. It is amazing to see how many lessons one can actually learn from games and how you can use those lessons in life scenarios. Have a look at the list below: 1. Making money helping others This always reminds me of games like Skyrim , where you go around and do things for other people. When the quest is completed you usually get rewarded with goods or gold. I put this as my number one because this is often overlooked as we need money for our own lives, however, if you think about it, we need other people to give money to and to receive money from. 2. Asking people if they know of any jobs. Instead of just going around door-to-door submitting your C.V or applying for jobs online, you should consider asking your friends and family if they know of any jobs available. It is sometimes 'who you know' over what you know plus ...
How to UNLOCK your MIND
The mind is your most valuable asset when used correctly. We had heard this thing a million times, but we still do not use this in our daily lives. Some people think it's nonsense, which is their choice. There are those that believe, and then there are people who have mastered the way their mind works. The easiest way to think about the mind is to picture yourself as a computer. You are live until you sleep and that is where you are on standby mode. Even though you are on standby mode, there are still processes that run in the background. That is the extremely powerful side, but today we will be talking about the general mindset and how a small change in thought can create major changes. This article is about real examples of consciousness and how your thoughts, words, beliefs, and actions affect your daily life. I know there is plenty of airy-fairy articles out there, but I prefer practical and logical over many things...
