100 Achievement Quotes and 5 Tips to Achieve your Goals

Last Updated November 23, 2021

One of the most important things in life is setting goals. It gets you motivated, gets you out of bed every morning. Just knowing that you have something to achieve in life makes you want to become a better person. Now what’s even better than that, is actually achieving the goals you set. The sense of accomplishment and achievement you get by fulfilling a task you’ve set out for yourself is what makes you feel alive. So, today, we’ve set out to make you understand what it takes to accomplish your goals more reliably!

Tip no1: Focus on your goal like your life depends on it.

One of the most common things I see among people, is them not taking their dream seriously enough. A dream only becomes reality, when you focus your every thought, every breath, every minute on it, like there is nothing else in the world. Otherwise, it stays as a fairy tale that visits you while you’re asleep. If you believe in it, you have to leave and breathe for it. No matter how hard it gets, no matter how grim things may seem, you must not give up! If you want to be the best, if you want to reach new heights, you have to be absolutely OBSEESSED with being the best, no slacking. Second place is not a winner and third nobody remembers.

Tip no2: You have to believe that it’s possible.

That dream that you have, whatever it may be, I’m here to tell you, that it’s possible. In order for you to succeed that dream, you have to believe it as well. It is important that you believe that you can, otherwise you will never succeed. It’s easy to complain, it’s easy to give up, but what is not easy, is actually thinking you can do it and working hard for it. This is why most people, get a family, get a steady income and then stop growing, stop evolving and eventually die. If you have the slightest hope that it’s possible, you have to believe that you can, and make sure that it becomes possible.

Tip no3: Pain is your friend, failure is your teacher.

Instead of being afraid of getting hurt, you have to learn to embrace the pain, because it has a lot of things to teach you. You have to think of failure of a way that was just not the correct one. Because then, it becomes a lesson. You see, without pain, you would never know the correct path to success. Even if you did get it right by chance without even trying, you would crumble on the first difficulty. The strongest weapons are tested in the heat of the combat, not in the comfort of the couch. You have to be afraid of disappointment more than failure, you have to want to achieve your dream so hard that you are willing to endure all the pain this world has to offer in order to succeed. So, instead of fearing the fall, fear the embarrassment of getting back up.

Tip no4: You have to dissect your goal into smaller, easier tasks.

Instead of trying to accomplish everything at once, try to break down your goal into smaller, more manageable tasks that you can do one by one, to work up to your goal step by step. This is going to make it seem more possible, thus boosting your confidence and giving you a sense of accomplishment every time you succeed in each one of these smaller tasks. This also makes things easier when it comes to keeping track of your progress. Instead of saying “I want to be the best in the world by next year”, try this: “By next week, I want to be the best in my neighborhood, by next month, the best in my city, by the next 3 months, the best in my country, by the next 8 months, I want to be the best in the continent, by next year, the best in the world”. I know this is a naive and not exactly relevant example, but it makes understanding what I mean easier. Don’t try to climb the entire staircase with one step, because you will fall, instead, face each stair one by one, until you reach the top.

Tip no5: Get rid of whatever is holding you down.

It could be a situation, a person, a disadvantage, anything, you have to let it go. Your financial status isn’t good enough? That’s wrong, you can achieve greatness even if you start from zero. Does the story of a rich person getting richer inspire you? Or do you prefer that story from the kid who started from zero and trusted in his ability to become the best? Do you have that one friend that doesn’t believe in you and keeps bringing you down, limit the interaction. Do you think that your brain, or your body, or your soul, isn’t strong enough? That’s easy, MAKE IT STRONGER.
