"Without passion you can never succeed. So even passion to devotion will make you a very good achiever." - Avdhoot Baba Shivanandji.

At the beginning of every year, our hearts pound with new aspirations and hopes. The will to achieve new horizons is at its peak whenever we welcome a new year, a new beginning. We have this joy within us where we feel blessed, and we wish for it to remain this way throughout the year so that we can fulfil our deepest wishes and meet our major goals. Gradually the year unfolds and goes by so quickly that in the end we find ourselves facing incomplete projects and unfulfilled dreams. It was just another year!

If we really want to achieve what we have in mind for the year, then we really need to work towards it holistically. That is, through our mind, thoughts, actions and behaviours. As much as achieving a goal sounds simple, it is in practice, very complex. There are indeed many schools of thoughts who have devised and designed systems to meet objectives effectively and efficiently. They are very useful to meet corporate goals but can be quite difficult to use them in our daily life.

Here is a little step-by-step method towards achieving your objectives or meeting your main goal. Easy to create and follow, we only need to put in some effort.

Step 1

Write down all your plans/wishes/objectives you have in mind to achieve throughout the year. Randomly just write down everything. For example, build a new shed in the backyard, join Zumba classes, finish the painting left to be done in your house, literally anything. You may be surprised by the amount of things you wish to get done.
