18. STRATEGIES FOR GOAL ACHIEVEMENTS
Cultivate confidence: To achieve big things, you must first believe
that you can.

can be intense.
Remove inferiority complex.
Use your imagination.
Find Meaning. Align your goal with your passion. Follow your
heart.
Be hardworking and disciplined.
Enjoy the Process. You deserve it. Do not allow what others say or
feel to deter you.

19. STRATEGIES FOR GOAL ACHIEVEMENTS
Let go of obstacles. Do not be discouraged.
Do not let a little disappointment throw you off course. They
could be discouraging at the moment, but also serve as great
opportunities to continue learning and growing.
The Bible encourages us in Chronicles 15:7 But as for you, be
strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.

20. STRATEGIES FOR GOAL ACHIEVEMENTS
Stop comparing yourself to others all the time.
Watching your peers hit major milestones can be frustrating,
especially when those same accomplishments seem to be
slipping through your fingers. Comparing yourself to others is
almost unavoidable, but try not to let it get to you.
Trade negative self-talk for positive affirmations and replace
envy with gratitude.
Celebrate yourself. Celebrating even your smallest victories
boost self-esteem and helps take you onto your next
challenge.

21. • Goals require plans, sacrifices and perseverance. It
requires a change of attitude from pessimistic to
optimistic; from fear to faith; from I cannot do it to I can
do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
(Philippians 4:13)
• Instead of thinking this goal appears impossible, think
with God all things are possible (Matthew 19:26).
• Instead of thinking what if this goal is not achieved, think
what if I am able to achieve this goal. (Hebrews 11:1).

22. • God has given each one abilities, skills,
talents, capabilities, wisdom, knowledge,
understanding, insights and creative minds
to do good works.
• So do not give up on your goal(s) in life, or
feel incapable. For God has promised, “my
grace is sufficient for you and is made
perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).

23. CONCLUSION
A goal does not become achieved by magic; it takes determination,
hard work, discipline, focus, willingness and readiness to learn.
There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs.
When setting goals, always start by acknowledging God first. Then:
Be Specific. Be clear about the goal you wish to achieve.
Plan: Thinking about the future can be intimidating sometimes, but
do not limit yourself. You can think “outside of the box” and dream
big! Your future is yours to create.
• Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed,
for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold
you with My righteous right hand."
