The road to success is often paved with goals. Setting and achieving goals is a crucial element in reaching success in any endeavor. Here are some factors that contribute to the success behind every goal:
Clarity: Clearly defining your goals is essential. You need to have a clear understanding of what you want to achieve. Vague or ambiguous goals can lead to confusion and lack of direction. Clearly defined goals help you stay focused and motivated.
Specificity: Goals should be specific and well-defined. Instead of setting a broad goal like "I want to lose weight," it is better to set a specific goal like "I want to lose 10 pounds in three months." Specific goals provide a clear target and allow for better planning and measurement of progress.
Planning: Setting goals is just the beginning; creating a solid plan of action is crucial. Break down your goals into smaller, manageable steps and create a timeline. Planning helps you stay organized, track your progress, and make adjustments as needed.
Commitment: Success requires dedication and commitment. Once you have set your goals, you need to commit yourself to take consistent action towards achieving them. It may involve sacrifices, hard work, and perseverance. Without commitment, goals are merely wishes.
Persistence: Achieving goals often involves facing obstacles and setbacks along the way. It's important to stay persistent and not give up easily. Maintain a positive mindset, learn from failures, and keep pushing forward. Persistence helps you overcome challenges and stay on track towards success.
Accountability: Holding yourself accountable for your goals is vital. Share your goals with others, seek support from friends, family, or mentors, or consider joining groups or communities with similar aspirations. Being accountable to others helps you stay motivated, focused, and provides a support system during challenging times.
Continuous Learning: Success is not just about reaching a specific goal; it's also about personal growth and development. Embrace a mindset of continuous learning and improvement. Seek knowledge, acquire new skills, and adapt to changing circumstances. Learning helps you become better equipped to overcome obstacles and achieve long-term success.
Remember, success is a journey, and goals are stepping stones along the way. By incorporating these elements into your goal-setting process, you increase your chances of achieving success and fulfilling your aspirations.?

Imagine experiencing those three factors… Life would be great – wouldn’t it?
We made the definition even more specific for our own personal usage. For that, we reflected on our ‘what’ (what we care most about), on the ‘how’ (how we want to live), and on ‘ourselves’ (what makes us feel good). This is what we came up with (a very personal definition):
‘We, Patrick and Anne-Marie, feel?successful if we do our best to help others thrive, while thriving self, and having fun in the process’.
This definition does not provide an ‘unreachable goal’ (whereas trying to be perfect is unattainable). In addition, it encourages us to live the life we desire the most, day after day.?
When we wonder ‘am I successful enough?’ we just have to check: have we really done our best to help others thrive, while thriving ourselves and while having fun in the process? If the answer is yes, we allow ourselves to say ‘yes – we’re pretty successful’. If the answer is no, we know what to focus upon the next days and hours.
