Achieving Your Goals by Using One Word
Word Count:
752
Summary:
This article concentrates on one well known key word which can totally change your attitude towards finishing what you have started. It will help you complete your plans and find out whether these plans will help you make progress or not. Unfinished plans and goals are no use to anyone. Completing your plans, at the very least, builds up your confidence and will power to the point where you can undertake ambitious projects which will amaze both you and your friends.
This article could help you or someone else achieve things which you had not believed possible.

Article Body:
One of my favorite techniques for achieving goals is to use the word 'anyway' as often as necessary.
If you don't feel like doing something or start doubting whether the activity has any value, do it 'anyway' and then see what the results are later after you have completed the activity.
Some results can be seen or felt almost immediately. You reluctantly go for a walk but feel great as soon as you get home. Other results may take a week or so. You start eating less and feel slimmer in two or three days' time.
A few days ago I started eating less before going to sleep instead of having a large evening meal. Today I had my reward. I was walking past a local farm when the farmer took a long look at me and then patted his stomach saying:
"You are losing it!"
He is no lightweight himself but I took his encouragement in the spirit in which it was meant and replied: "Thanks; that will encourage me for the next six months"
You can always stop doing whatever activity you think is a waste of time at a later date but if you stop too early you will never know whether it would have worked or not.
Another example is the key task of keeping your room tidy. You decide to tidy up your room and plan to move 5 less used items out of the room every day. After a day or so, you may feel your plan is making no difference whatever - your room still looks a complete mess.
Keep following your plan anyway. After a week you will probably see a difference and this fairly quick result will encourage you to keep going with your plan until your room is a model of tidiness. Try it out and see what happens.
I tried this plan yesterday and not only moved 5 books out of the room but created a database to record where I put them plus a database for my internet courses (the numerous ones I have not yet read). On top of that I changed a light bulb that had been out of action for several days!
However, my room still looked a mess!
I tried the plan again today and immediately benefited from the side effects of tidying up. I discovered several videos I could use again and found where I had put my video of 'The Hulk'.
Another result was that the left side of my room was now looking almost tidy!
However, the main benefit of carrying out any plan is not the results produced. It is the character produced. Our self-esteem and confidence rise every time we carry out a plan however small it is.
As Marlon Sanders, the great internet guru, would say: "If a thing ain't done, it ain't done."
Unfinished products are useless. No money can be made from them and no one can benefit from them. It is vitally important that we complete what we begin even if we lose interest and start having doubts.
We need to finish our projects anyway. We will then start believing that we can achieve anything.
At the time of writing this, Ellen MacArthur, the great yachtswoman, is sailing round the world on her own. She has just passed the Canary Isles and is two hours ahead of her nearest competitor.
She is fulfilling a giant plan but what preceded it was the fulfilment of many smaller plans like learning how to tie a useful knot and how to take part in sailing competitions.
At least one of these yacht races was so stressful that she was in tears for much of the voyage. But she kept going anyway.
Carrying out her plans built her confidence and will power to a point where sailing round the world in record time became a real possibility.
Lloyd Scott has just finished cycling across Australia from Perth to Sydney on a penny farthing bike to raise money for leukaemia research.
He is, not surprisingly, rather sore even though he has probably prepared by cycling shorter distances on his penny farthing.
Doubtless, there were many days when he felt like giving up but he kept on cycling anyway.
He celebrated by swimming in the sea at Bondai Beach.
The more we make use of the word 'anyway', the more we will achieve our goals and celebrate reaching them.
If we keep on using this amazing word, celebration will become a way of life for us.

It is very easy and a lot of fun to talk about dreams and goals and a great future. Achieving these dreams is not so easy as all wise people know. We need to build our dreams on the solid ground of action rather than the shifting sands of talk.

It is very easy and a lot of fun to talk about dreams and goals and a great future. Achieving these dreams is not so easy as all wise people know. We need to build our dreams on the solid ground of action rather than the shifting sands of talk. The Red Indians of America know how to summarize great truths in a few choice words.
In the perceptive western, "Broken Arrow", Cochise, the wise Apache chief, scolds the wise American scout, acted by James Stewart:
"To talk of peace is easy; to live it is not easy. Are you a child that you thought peace would come easy?"
The Italians also have a way with words. Garibaldi, the great Italian soldier and patriot said much the same thing:
"Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue."
Talk is easy. Planning is easy. Making promises is easy.
Doing what we say is the difficult part. Carrying out our plans is not easy. Keeping our promises is the hard part.
Recently, a top instructor in my martial art, Choikwangdo, which is based in Atlanta Georgia, spoke about how some UK instructors go to Atlanta and are so inspired that they are totally gung-ho and ready to take on the world. By the time they get back to the UK and it is pouring with rain some of the inspiration has departed!
This happens at most seminars where a great dream is promoted. Every one leaves charged up and ready to achieve their dream but unless they take action immediately and regularly the dream will soon die. Talk is cheap!
I am old enough to remember the Charles Atlas' promise. Buy his course and the next time the bully kicks sand in your face you will be ready! Many bought his course but how many practiced what he taught? The bully was still kicking sand in many faces!
We can excuse children for giving up when they discover that something is not easy and might even involve some hard and boring work.
An adult should know better and should think carefully before making any promises that involve hard graft.
On the other hand, promises can be useful as motivation to get on with doing what we promise. It is also fun to do things which we have not promised to do.
Businessmen and women who give their customers more than they have promised usually retain those customers for life. Many internet gurus sell their products together with a huge pile of bonuses.
Then they deliver more. Even after you have bought their product and downloaded the bonuses, they will send an email with more bonuses just to thank you for buying their product. These gurus know how to create lifetime good will.
"For each day of peace we will pile one stone upon another," said Cochise.
The great chief knew the value of living day by day and the value keeping score and the value of celebrating each daily victory.
Proponents of the power of affirmation and visualisation suggest celebrating in advance of the victory.
This could encourage the universe to create events which are in tune with the celebration and create a confidence in ourselves that will allow us to make full use of all our powers to help us achieve our goals.
In the end Cochise achieved peace. He knew what it would take.
It was Geronimo who continued the war.
