Success and Failures: How to Achieve Goals for Students?
Have you ever been in a position where you questioned failures? Lack of commitment? Not enough effort? Not enough support? Oh well, there are so many things could have gone wrong. Just know that you are not alone and there are so many people who also went through the same thing. These failures stopped them from dreaming and setting goals. But not you, my friend! You are not one of them. Here are 5 tips that will help you get back on your feet and achieve your success in life:
- Tell People
When you have a dream, tell people around you about it. This way, you will get more motivated in achieving your goals. This is because every time you meet them, either they will ask you about your progress or you will be reminded that you must work on your targets. When you fail, however, you will feel that the embarrassment of having to tell them about your failures becomes a source of strength for you to man up. Think of them as if they are your accountability partners. While this step is sort of a double-edged sword for your face, it will fuel you to work extra hard to realize your dreams.
- Positive Mindset
You cannot achieve your goals if you do not even believe that you can! If not you, then who would? You should believe in yourself and that you can overcome the challenges along the way. You may be far from your dream now but at least you are moving. You are not who you were yesterday. You are better version of yourself today! Do not lose hope and stay positive.
- Set Your Mind on the Why
As mentioned in the previous post (link), you should set your mind on the reason behind your goals. Instead of thinking about them, dwell on the “why this goal is important to you” and “why do you want to achieve them”. Knowing that you are pursuing greater things will motivate you to keep trying.
- Make It a Habit
Brushing our teeth every day feels easy, doesn't it? You don't have to remind yourself or push yourself to brush your teeth, do you? You don't even have to think about it. You automatically do it as a part of your routine. The same goes with achieving your dream. If you want to accomplish your goals, you should make it your habit. Let's say you want to get healthier and want to exercise more. If you only exercise every time you remember about it, you would unlikely to attain that target by the end of the year.

- Have Fun
Time flies when you are having fun, right? You do not have to force yourself to work hard to reach your dream. So, just fave fun while you are doing it! Be creative on how you do it. Find other ways to make it more fun. You can even find a friend with the same goal and work together! However you do it, just make sure you enjoy the process as it is as important as the goal itself!
