 How to Achieve Your Goal This Spring: 
 Start Your Book, Launch Your Business, Lose That Weight 

 - By Monica Carter Tagore 
----------------------------------------------------

 If you're like many people, you've packed away the goals you had at
 the beginning of this year. But I have a suggestion for you: Dust
 them off and get on your way to accomplishing them, starting today.

 Spring is a time of cleaning out clutter and starting afresh. So let
 this be a time of getting rid of the disappointments that cloud your
 mind and making a new start on a goal that has meaning for you. If
 you follow some key steps, you can make your goal happen -- this
 spring!

 I had a very simple desire this year: get my taxes filed before the
 April 15 deadline -- not on the day, not after the day with an
 extension. But filed early. With so much going on -- running a
 business, managing family life, traveling -- that was a tall order.

 As January turned into February and February turned into March, I
 wondered if I would let this wish fall by the wayside. But I knew I
 could not do that. So I had to turn that wish into a goal; I had to
 create a plan and attach a deadline to it. And I had to act on that
 plan.

 What about you? What desire do you have, but you've not attached any
 real structure to it? Often we fail to reach our hopes, goals, and
 dreams because we don't pursue them with any real structure. We want
 to "wing it." Well, success isn't about winging it.

 It's about planning. And putting action behind that plan.

 This works whether your goal is big or small. Don't trust your goal
 to a loose attempt at winging it. Many people spend a lot of time
 thinking and reading about success, but they don't spend the
 necessary time planning for it. Others, though, spend quite a lot of
 time planning -- and planning some more and some more -- but fail to
 act. And still others are always in action -- they flit from gig to
 gig or idea to idea, but never with much thought or planning. None of
 these is the right way to approach your goals.

 Instead, a better idea is to take some time for all three elements:
 Think about what you want. Plan for it. And act upon the plan.

 Consider a goal you'd like to accomplish within the next 90 days,
 something you would like to achieve this spring. Is it to lose
 weight? Is it to get in shape for a race? Is it to turn your hobby
 into a business? Is it to start on your book -- or finish it?

 Now, settle on which of those goals you will achieve this spring.
 Think more specifically about that goal. Is it doable in 30 days, 60
 days, or 90 days? Or is it more of a long-term effort? Choose a 30-
 to 90-day goal. Once you get the confidence boost of achieving this
 short-term goal, you'll be revved up and ready to move on to your
 long-term goal or dream.

 Now, let's move those thoughts. Let's analyze and define what you
 want. Why do you want this goal? What will it mean for you to
 accomplish it? How will your life be better because of it? Then get
 to the point of defining this goal. Tell yourself exactly what you
 will accomplish. Don't just say "I want to grow my business." Instead,
 define how much you will grow your business and in what kind of time
 frame. Perhaps you will bring in five new clients this month, or you
 will sell 100 more units this month than last. Whatever you do,
 create a way to quantify the goal and add a deadline.

 Now, it's time to fill in the gaps. How do you make this goal happen?
 Think backward from your deadline and consider everything that needs
 to occur to turn your goal into a done deal. Jot down all those
 details. Then go back through your list and turn that jotting into a
 plan. Include your action steps and the deadlines for taking each
 action. It's helpful to have your calendar or PDA handy at this stage
 because you can easily write or key in your deadlines so your overall
 calendar reflects your goal achievement plan.

 Lastly, apply action to your plan. That means you actually have to do
 whatever it is you've written down! If this means rearranging your
 schedule, or taking some less important things off your to-do list,
 then you'll need to make these adjustments.

 Each of these steps is critical to your success.
 
 Your three-point approach to success looks like this:

 1. Analyze and define your goal. What is your desire? Why do you want
 to accomplish this particular thing? What will it do for you? Turn
 the wish into a goal by defining it. Define the goal by quantifying
 what you will accomplish and in what kind of time frame.

 2. Plan your goal. Brainstorm all the steps it will take to reach
 your goal. If you're unsure, do a bit of research. Search online for
 information about your goal. Talk with someone who has had success in
 this area, or who coaches or trains people in matters of goal
 achievement. Then go back through that brainstorm and organize your
 actions and attach deadlines.

 3. Act on your plan. Adjust your schedule, rearrange your to-do list,
 and make other changes in your day-to-day activities that allow you
 to devote time and attention to your goal. Putting action to your
 plan will likely mean making some sacrifices in other areas.

 If you follow these steps, you can turn your desires into goals and
 your goals into success. This approach has worked for me consistently
 over the years, and has allowed me to grow my business, build solid
 relationships, contribute to causes, and accomplish those fun things,
 such as running a marathon. Oh, and it also worked for me at tax time
 this year: I met my goal and got my taxes off early, so April 15 will
 be just another day for me!

□　充実した時間の使い方を････
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

 何かに夢中になって時間を費やしているときは､なぜか､充実した時間を使っ
 ていたと感じる｡仕事がたくさんあり､ひとつずつ遣り遂げて行くと仕事を
 やったと感じる｡

 やることがあまりない日は､なにかぼや〜として目標が定まらないで時間を
 無駄にしていると感じる｡

 気分の持ち方でこうも変わるものかと驚く｡人生も同じで毎日が楽しいと自
 己暗示ができてしまえば､苦しい事や不安に思う事も楽しい苦しさと不安に
 変貌するだろう｡

 如何にして自分の人生を楽しい方向に向けさせられるか｡自分の気分の持ち
 方を楽しいﾍﾞｸﾄﾙにｺﾝﾄﾛｰﾙできれば新しい生きがいが生まれるので
 は｡

 有限の時間を意識して使っている人間がどれだけいるだろうか｡

 他界宣告を受けていない大部分の人（私を含め）は､自分の時間が有限であ
 ると意識して生きていない｡突然､あなたの時間は明日なくなりますといわ
 れて与えられた時間を意識する｡

 70歳､80歳､90歳､100歳の方は､多分､与えられた時間を意識せざるを得な
 いだろう｡明日生きているか分からないということが現実味を帯びているか
 らだ｡

 20歳､30歳､40歳､50歳､60歳代の方は､まだまだ生きられると安心して明
 日を向けられると思っている｡

 明日になれば､それが分かる｡そして､生きていることを感謝する｡感謝す
 る人は､有限な時間を意識している人たちだろう｡
