Captioned from documented lifetime goals of Leila , a cute young girl with great aspirations
Many people have great goals but only few achieve their targets

The list is endless!

acroynm PIV
1. PROCASTINATION
Procastination is an opportunity assasin.
It comes from people who are waiting to be motivated and the feelings never come.
Dont wait for the feelings to come , Act now
The brain rewards the body with excitatory neurotransmitters making it feel good and satisfied after a desired task has been successfully executed
Action first , feelings will come thereafter
Procastination is an art of inserting lots of commas in the sentence of life.
It makes easy things hard and hard things harder
Procastinators spend longer time distracting themselves doing the wrong things , but delay starting the right thing
Stop distracting yourself
‘ Lost time is never found again’
‘You may delay but time will not’ Benjamin Franklin
Procastination is simply the art of keeping up with yesterday.
2. INFOXICATION
Infoxication or information overload is dealing with more information than you are able to process , having diffculty in making sensible decision.
Having in your possesion more than you can handle
We are in the era of information overload . for example , there about million ways to knot a tie on youtube and many folks have lots of tutorials on the mastery of their desired art.
Sadly , when the amount of information coming exceeds our ability to use it , our performance suffers
3.VAGUE GOALS i.e not setting SMART GOALS
Goals are bound to fail unless they are SMART i.e
a)Specific…..’I want to make the best out of life’ is not specific
I want to get a diploma certicate and be profficient in computer programming in
16 weeks ( August – october 2017) is specific
b)Measurable…yes , get the basics first before transforming to a guru
c)Achievable…..yes, starting the training with less difficulty level
d)Realistic……yes , dedicate about 3 hours to practice programming daily, 22 hours daily is unrealistic
e)Timely ,..yes, in 16 weeks by the end of october 2017.
To make your goals achievable, do a self reflection and evaluation
Are you currently a victim of the above 3 reasons WHY people fail to achieve their goals?
Its time to rise up , dont let excuses squeeze opportunities from you
A man with vision is a man in motion
Never put off till tommorow what you can do today
Breakdown every task , set a deadline for each
Workout ONE GOAL at a time and be focused on it
Now , you know WHY ur goals aint working
MAKE YOUR GOALS COUNT IN AUGUST
Be Great
