When you have a set of empowering goals in mind, you can work to make them a reality. While setting goals can be fun, you need to be realistic about how you will accomplish them. For example, setting a goal of writing a book within a month isn't realistic.
In order to achieve your goals, you need to set milestones and keep track of your progress. People who are accountable work harder to achieve their goals. They are more likely to be more intentional about what they agree to do and stick to a firm deadline. This helps them avoid little problems from turning into bigger problems.
Once you have your goal in mind, set small goals each day. Pick five specific things to accomplish each day and don't stop until all five items are crossed off. This proven system provides structure for achieving more every day. You can even scale back your goals if you aren't progressing at the pace you desire.
Feeling empowered means that you know your starting point and the finish line. It also means that you're ready to take risks. You can command your circumstances and make your life more meaningful. This empowers you to be the change you want to see in the world.
