Reach your biggest goals
If you want to reach your biggest goals in the coming year, start with a mental readjustment in four key areas: your relationships with other people, your relationship with your circumstances, your relationship with time, and your relationship with yourself.
When people are blocked from reaching for their goals or even setting big goals in the first place, one or more of these relationships is almost always the reason.

Rethink your relationships with others
Whatever you do, if someone in your life or work has a limiting view of you or your abilities, don't let that limiting view bleed into your own view of yourself.
- If a relationship with another person (your boss, a co-worker for example) is blocking you from reaching your goals, you can work on changing that person's perceptions, making sure they know just what you can do and how much your work can benefit them. That may help them rethink the relationship and see you in a new way.
- If not, it may be time for you to rethink the relationship whether it's time to move on to another one.

Rethink your relationship with your circumstances
Sometimes your external circumstances may prevent you from going after your goals. For example, if for some reason, you really need to quit the job you have in order to go after the career you really want, and your circumstances are that you just can't afford to do that.
Only you can determine whether you truly are bound by your circumstances. Ask yourself some what-if questions. What if this circumstance could be changed in this way? What if you could ask someone for help with part of it? What if there is a way to turn this circumstance to your advantage?

Rethink your relationship with time
People just use the excuse, 'I'm too busy. I don't have the time.' If you want something, you have to reprioritize what you're doing so you have time for it.
We all have a limited amount of time on this planet, let alone in our workweek. So if you can't find the time for something that you truly care about, you should reexamine your priorities. Figure out if any of the things you spend time on could be reduced or eliminated. And make a date with yourself--write it in your calendar--to set aside time for whatever it is you want to make sure to do.

Rethink your relationship with yourself
Your own beliefs could be stopping you from reaching your biggest goals. A limiting view of your own capabilities could rob you of the success you deserve.
If your beliefs are holding you back, how do you change that? Sometimes, you need outside help. Get yourself a counselor, a coach, a trainer, a mentor. Someone who can help you see what you cannot see yourself, someone you're willing to listen to."
