Go Move that Mountain

Accomplishments may seem impossible when looked at from a distance. They may seem like a mountain that we cannot climb or move out of the way.

In order to make strides toward things that we want, we must focus on not the big picture but rather the steps along the way. Steady progress will eventually lead us to any goal, big or small.

If we do not hope and wish for accomplishments, then our life will not find any. Goal Setting is an important part of your personal and professional development.

According to Mindtools.com there is a SMART way to set goal:

S Specific - be specific about what you want
M Measurable - make your goal something that you can measure
A Attainable - make it something that is realistic for you to obtain or achieve
R Relevant - find something that is relevant to your life or career
T Trackable - something that you can look back on and see what exactly you have accomplished

Set your mind on a goal, make continuous steps toward it, and eventually you will Move any Mountain!
