  • Writing down your goals will help keep them in mind and remind you of what you’re working towards, even when things get tough or seem impossible.

Your goals should be realistic and achievable:

  • The most important thing is to work towards the goal with a positive attitude. It will make you feel more like an achiever, even if it does not happen at first.

If your goal is only accomplished halfway through – that’s still progress!
