Hi, welcome to Lifebuilder!

To understand how to realise our goals, we need to know that there are three main types of goals. Winning an Olympic gold medal is an achievement goal. It relies on many factors outside of your control. You may run a great time, but there may be someone else present who runs faster than you. Achievement goals are what inspire us. They are part of the grand vision.

Then there are performance goals. For a sprinter, this could be running a 100-metre race in under 10 seconds. These kinds of goals are more independent of external conditions. They are also an important measure of our progress.

Finally, there are action goals. These are almost entirely within our control. They are simply the physical actions you take to achieve your performance or achievement goals. For an Olympic athlete, this may include training for six hours a day, reading a book on sport psychology and eating a certain diet.

The most important kinds of goals are action goals because if you take care of the action, the performance and achievement will come naturally. The more you do, the more you will achieve. Make sure that every day, you are doing something that gets you closer to the achievement of your great big hair-raising goal.


Until next week - unleash your potential!
