Where should I start? Well, my specific smart goal in simple terms would be to obtain a degree in business education by the year 2025 and I truly believe this is attainable. Well, so long as I keep studying. Although the goal itself may seem highly achievable and realistically measurable - (I should be able to complete the first module of this study by July, I think), the road to that achievement can be a daunting one. The key is to keep pushing with self determination and strong motivation. American writer Earl Nightingale once said “our attitude towards life determines life’s attitude towards us” and it’s true. Project negativity to the world and it will come right back at you. Tell yourself ‘you can’t do this and you can’t do that’ and you won’t be able to do it. As cliche as it sounds, having a ‘can do attitude,’ even if you’re faking it, can really help you realize your goals. Whenever doubt starts to creep into your mind, swat it away and be a glass half full kind of person. So in order to achieve my dream of earning my degree by 2025, I need to start by enrolling in a college/university which I already have. For my goal to be relevant to my degree seeking goal, I need to study, participate in discussions, rate other students, submit assignments on time and pass the examination in order to successfully graduate. The time it will take to achieve this goal is time bound, so I think it is definitely a smart goal. I will not let my objectives and goals drop off the radar. Odds are that to accomplish my fantasies and carry on with the existence I love, those objectives and goals are pivotal. Objective defining and objective accomplishment are simpler in the event that I follow these six stages for powerful and fruitful objective setting and long lasting goal achievement. Recording my objectives (on my iPad), will drive me to crystalize what precisely I desire to achieve. This straightforward demonstration has a method of making my objective stick in my psyche and gets my cerebrum dealing with the subtleties of getting it going. An activity plan is the guide I can follow that will get me to my objective. This will help guarantee me not to miss any significant advances. Consider this, making scaled down objectives, breaking greater goals into more modest strides, until I have "reduced down" lumps. By doing this, my objective will appear to be not so overwhelming but rather more achievable. Being explicit about what I need to accomplish at every turn.

While I do realize I usually can’t concentrate for periods longer than 2 to3 hours at a time. Perhaps this is due to the aging of stress. Not sure. But I will achieve my smart goal. This is a promise I have made to myself. Dreams and goals that are attainable are only attainable by putting the effort and time into it....
