how long did it take for you to reach your goal? when did you realize you made it?

Exactly how I'm asking the question. I can't leave this field blank.

Thank you comment icon In my lifetime, and probably in yours, there will be many goals. Really doesn't matter how long it takes to achieve a goal. If it's something you want to accomplish, you might work on it for a long time and that's ok. Write down your goals and be open to changing them. Meanwhile, enjoy life! With every good wish.

Paul’s Answer

It took me about three decades to achieve it, and it was a progressive path the entire way.

John Wooden once said that "Success is peace of mind, which comes from self satisfaction, that you did the best, to become the best you are capable."

At the top of his Pyramid of Success, he listed the element of "Competitive Greatness" which means that you like a good challenge, and perform at your best when there is a challenge to overcome, or a goal to achieve.

When I reached the point in my life, that I knew I had the technical skills, confidence and ability to achieve the goals I had set, this is when I knew I was successful. I had the self satisfaction, that I could do my best, and attain what I wanted in life.

Rebecca’s Answer

Thank you for your question. I am not sure how long and the size of your goal. I assume this is a long term goal.
Below is my suggestions :
1. Put down the process how to achieve the goal
2. Breakdown the plan into different steps (milestones)
3. Review the progress of the milestones on regular basis
4. Make adjustment if necessary
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
May Almighty God bless you!

Hi Ayva!

I think you'll find that goals are something you meet, then find a new goal to go after! I'll share a recent one as an example:

I've been a Technical Recruiter helping companies hire technical talent for many years and I've wanted to reach Principal level which is the highest level in my company. I worked really hard and was promoted late last year! But that doesn't mean I stop growing and pushing myself to do more.

My new goal is to help others to follow their career goals and succeed.
Growth never really stops, and goals go right along with that!

Good luck!

Steph
