Editor’s note: By the end of the year, have you noticed that there are more people around you looking back on your past year and looking forward to your new year? Maybe you have made small achievements in the past year, maybe you have done nothing in the past year, but these are the past things. What you need to do is make a plan for the new year and put it into practice. The beauty of life is that if we can live another day on this beautiful earth, we will have another chance to show ourselves. This article is translated from medium, author Aleshia S. Patterson, original title If You Did n’t Accomplish Your Goals in 2019 — I Have Something to Share With You.

At the end of the year, we find that our friends, family and others around us are reviewing our year. If you have never thought of reviewing the past year, let me tell you that the so-called review of the past year is actually a summary of what happened in the past 12 months. In the past 12 months, maybe someone has made six figures, maybe someone has found true love, maybe someone has found a new job, maybe someone has bought a house.
If you set your goals at the beginning of the year and did n’t complete them by the end of the year, I have to remind you here:
You are not a loser.
Yes, maybe you failed to lose weight; yes, you may not be able to sign the contract you have been fighting for; yes, maybe you have to break up with someone you love. But all these experiences have made you today.
Look at yourself, you still have the courage to look at yourself, which proves your resilience and perseverance.
Now look in the mirror, pat yourself on the shoulder, take a breath, because no matter what you have experienced, whether or not you have achieved your goal, 2020 will come as scheduled.
This is not to say that you cannotWeaknesses learn something. How can you learn from those goals that have not been achieved?
How many goals have you set this year?
The more goals you set, the harder it will be to achieve them, because many people will make the mistake of simply listing the goals to be achieved without writing down the steps to achieve them. For example, if your goal is to publish essays, you might think, “All I have to do is write an article, and it’s not a big deal.” But in real life, you need to do the following:
Understand why you are writing an anthology
Decide what topic to write
Develop a writing plan
Determine your budget for editing software
Buy editing software or hire editors
Determine the platform for publishing articles
Buried writing
Recommend your work
Repeat the above steps
When you are thinking about how many goals to set in a year, do you keep a record of everything you need to do, set a date, and stick to it? If not, congratulations, you have found what needs improvement. You can focus on one or two goals every quarter (every 90 days). After all, it takes 21 days to develop a habit, and 90 days to form a lifestyle. To see how this plan works, check out Nicalia Matthews Okome, the founder and moderator of the Side Hustle Pro podcast. To achieve her goals, she uses a method called the Goal Achievement Action Plan. This method requires you to focus on specific goals over a 12-week period. Then 90 days later, you have a new goal.
How often do you plan to achieve your goals?
We are all excited at the beginning of the new year. Of course, part of the reason is that the previous year has passed, and we can start again, and we can tell ourselves that everything will be different this year (until we find that there is actually no difference at the end of the new year). Most people try to accomplish all of their goals in a limited amount of time, and you know what happens when you try to do it-you can’t accomplish any of your goals.
If you list the goals you want to achieve and try to complete all of them in one month, the probability of success is not without, but I think it is minimal. However, if you spread these goals over a realistic period of time, your chances of success will be greater.
You areDid you tell others your goals before you achieved them?
People have different opinions on whether they should tell their friends or family, or even those around them. Sometimes, prematurely announcing a goal and then failing to complete it in time will bring a feeling of failure and self-doubt, because you just tell everyone what you want to do, but in the end it fails.
However, if you need a responsible partner or team (which we need most of the time), think about who can help and support when you need it most. For example, you can choose the five people you trust most in your life to urge you, join a network mutual aid group, and so on.
Are you ready for success?
If you’ve never heard a Mytaughtyou podcast from Curlbox founder Myleik Teele, then you should listen. In one episode, she told how she was late on the way to the airport and almost missed her flight. As soon as she arrived at the airport, the staff asked her, “Why are you late?” Myleik Teele replied firmly, “Because I am not ready for success today.” When considering achieving your goals, consider whether you have created for yourself. Space for success.
If your goal is to buy a house, do you have a corresponding budget, how much money do you plan to spend each month, and how much do you save? If your goal is to find a romantic partner, have you expanded your social circle and actively promoted yourself while participating in events and communicating with others?
Being successful and creating space for success may also involve evaluating the people and things in your life and deciding whether they will help move you towards or lead you away from what you want to achieve.
You know you need to keep improving, so move on.
Have you let yourself catch your breath?
We live in a society that requires us to complete our tasks well and quickly. Once we don’t, we fall into a vortex of self-loathing. But the road to success is not a smooth road. The road is bumpy and bumpy, and these are inevitable. When you are in a trough, remember that life will always change and all you can do is try again tomorrow.
If you have never read “Oh, the Places You ’ll Go” by Dr. Seuss, I suggest you check it out. When things go wrong, you have to be calm. There is a sentence in this poem that I think makes sense:
There are always emergencies, and the number of emergencies is not a lot / whatever you are clever or stupid / do n’t worry about emergencies, do n’t worry / do n’t go down / just go on, go on / good Will come eventually!
The beauty of life is that if we can live one more time on this beautiful earthGod, there will be another opportunity to show ourselves. When planning your 2020 goals, remember that you have everything you need to succeed. And, if you think you don’t, there are people around you who support you, and they plan to provide you with psychological, physical, spiritual, financial, and emotional support at any time. But to get these people into your life, you have to start working towards your goals. Even if there is a long way to go, the next step you take may get you on the right path.
