'MASTERY', the golden way to set goals and achieve them

If the goalposts are removed in the game of football, will you have any interest in playing football? In the same way our minds lose all inspiration if we have no Goal in life. Goal setting is the target to achieve something what you want within a certain period of time. That means setting a specific outline of what kind of success you want to achieve on or health, wealth, love, relationships, job or study and within how many days you want to achieve.

The problem is that, in many cases we fix our goal but we don't know how to achieve them. As a result, after setting a goal for a while, we set it again if it is not complete, then we set another, if not, then after a while, we get tired and leave everything. 

There are two states of goal setting, the first is Desire State where you want to reach and the second is Present State where you are standing right now. The way between these two is our journey or the specific strategy for the journey towards our goal.

How to set your goal or outcome:- Specify your goal at the beginning and write it down. Define the goal, whatever it is, health, wealth, love, relationships, hapyness etc. by the formula which is called 'MASTERRY'.

'M' for Meaningful:- You need to make sure that your goal has a specific meaning and measurable. You should not write anything imaginary or unreal. For example, Suppose you set a goal on health, you will reduce your weight from 75 kg to 50 kg within one month. This is unrealistic. Because losing 25kg of weight in a month may collapse your internal systems.

'A' For Achievable:- Ask yourself if you have enough faith in the goal, you wrote, that is achievable. Examine thoroughly if your mind is interfering the goal you set or if you feel that it is impossible to reach it. Set another goal if your mind interrupts.

'S' For Specific and Simple:- Your goal should be explained in simple language, especially in a few lines. This will make easily understandable to your subconscious mind and the subconscious mind will accept it very fast.

                                                                           

'T' For Time bound:- Set a time for what you want to achieve and write it down. Suppose you want to buy a car, set a specific date for it and note it down.

'E' For Ecology check:- Ecology means checking your inner and outer environment. We can divide ecology into two categories, Internal Ecology and External Ecology. Internal ecology means you have to look at what are your internal obstacles in the way of reaching your goal or how happy you will be if your goal is achieved. 

External ecology means that you need to examine how the environment where you live or the family you live in is hindering your goals or supporting you.

'R' For Responsibility:- You will have to take full responsibility for the goal you are setting and not to put the responsibility on anyone else. For example, if you want to build a good relationship with someone, if you impose responsibility on him or her without taking responsibility or changing yourself, you will never success.

'Y' For Yearning:- Yearning means you will have to have strong will power to fulfill the goal. Only if you have this burning desire you will be inspired and motivated from within.

How to achieve the goal:- You know your present state, you have created your desire state through 'MASTERY'. Now come to the point.

STRATEGIES:- To create a specific strategy is the next step for your journey towards your goals from your present situation. Divide it into smaller chunks to make it easier for your brain to understand. Suppose these little chunks are your milestones . Keep collecting the logistics(money , manpower, knowledge, whatever it's) you need to cross each milestone and move forward. See how easily you have crossed each milestone and enjoy the joy of crossing each milestone (Success) and reward yourself.

SELF-DISCIPLINE:- Keep in mind that the most expensive weapon to achieve your goal is self-discipline. It is the conscious awareness of action and to change our habits that might be holding us back. If you are not self-disciplined you will not be able to take the right action and if you do not take action you will never reach your goal.

CLARITY:- You must have enough clarity about your goal. When you go through the process of ' MASTERY' to set your goal, you will get the total clarity of your goal and this will help you to build the strategies to achieve them. To bring more clarity to your mind live as if you already have achieved your goal or outcome. Visualise about it.

FOCUSED:- Be focused on the efforts towards your goal. Sometimes there may be many obstacles in the way of achieving your goals but never lose focus. You may not be able to keep up with the same pace every day, but that doesn't mean you have to lose focus and give up everything.
