Have Goals to Boost Your Self-esteem

Build up your self-esteem by having goals in life. It really does not matter what kind of goals you are trying to achieve, as long as they are health-conducive and righteous. Goals help to keep one’s mind healthfully occupied. A focussed mind is a closed door to all disparaging thoughts and negative entities that fill you with a sense of hopelessness and frustrations in life. Every goal successfully attained is a boost to your self-esteem.

It is a good habit to have goals in one’s life, no matter how small they may be. There is so much within you that needs to be improved upon, and you can start with goals that hone your personality, and make you a kind of person that everyone would like to be around with. With confidence and experience you can then go on to targeting bigger goals in life.Goals make your life meaningful; they give you a reason to wake up each morning with love and enthusiasm for life.

It is a good idea to maintain a journal when you are working with goals. This helps to organise your thoughts and to keep track of your efforts. This way you build a clear picture of your desires so that you are encouraged to work with one-pointed concentration towards your goal. Goals help build up a positive attitude with a disciplined mind-set. When working with goals you need to work with rewards and minus-points. When you are on the right track you need to give yourself brownie-points. But when you have slipped up, give yourself minus points. Rewards help to encourage you in your efforts towards achieving success, while minus-points would make you work with even greater determination and alacrity. It helps develop a healthy competition with your self, where you are your own competitor, and where your failures become a challenge to work harder towards success. Then, when the focus is on your own self, you automatically stop looking at other successful people with envy and jealousy. On the contrary, you begin to draw inspiration from them, and start looking upon them as role models.

Determine a dead-line for accomplishing your goals. This creates in you the drive to achieving your desired result with sincerity and enthusiasm. Failure to reach your target despite your earnest efforts should not thwart your interest in working towards it, but should make you wiser and stronger than ever. Optimism is the key to getting what you want. Nothing is impossible when your mind is dead set to getting what it wants. The more goals you achieve, the more confident you become of yourself, of your power and of gaining victory for all your future goals.
