Focus on Small Successes for Big Results

Reaching your goals comes down to one very critical thing: staying motivated. Without motivation NOTHING will get done.

The smallest success can be all you need to instill action. It's what gives you a belief in yourself and your ability to succeed. When you face obstacles, look at the small successes you've achieved so far. Be proud of those successes and feed off of them.

Focus on what you can do each day.

The big goal is your guide to where you want to go, but it's the daily small success steps you take that get you to it.

• If you want to lose weight, you move from buying a pedometer to walking 100 steps the first week. Then the next week you walk 150 steps. Each week you increase your steps each week, building on the previous week's success.
  
   
• If you want to write a book, start with one paragraph a day for a week. Increase your writing the next week to two paragraphs, then a page, increasing your writing time over time until you have finished your book.
• If you want to eat healthier, start by eliminating one unhealthy food each week and adding a healthier version, then the next week replace another unhealthy food with a healthier version, and continue this successful system until you are eating only healthy foods.
  
   

If you want to be more organized at home or work, start by choosing one area (such as a desk drawer), then begin eliminating one unnecessary thing every few days, eventually getting rid of all clutter. By building on this small success you will have the confidence to organize other areas.
