Hidup ini indah. Adakala keindahan itu dilindung mendung dan awan kelabu. Adakala keindahan bertambah seri disinari mentari. Keindahan dan kesayuan silih berganti dan kita sendiri tidak pasti. Adakala kita berkobar-kobar dan mengimpikan syurga, lantas kita merasakan hidup ini penuh erti dan penuh isi. Adakala kita merasa sangat lemah dan terbayang neraka, lalu merasakan hidup ini tiada harapan lagi dan kosong tak bermakna. Kita termenung sendiri, mencari erti di sebalik perhentian-perhentian dalam kehidupan.

Wonder why some people could not even achieve an inch of what they dream of becoming? Blame it on pure dreaming and lack of setting goals for achieving their dreams.
Setting goals is a very significant part of success and positive accomplishments. It is like scaling a 20 feet building and marking early on what feet you would like to reach at this specific period.
People who set goals literally create a map of their target achievements in life, marking where they should begin, where to pause, where to delve a bit, and where and when to stop. Once this map is created, it allows the map drawer to check where he is in the scheme of things and whether or not he is making some achievements that will take him closer to his goals.
By setting goals, people will know how they are doing and what they should be doing to achieve their targets or dreams in life. They will know if they can relax or if they have to double their efforts when they are falling short of what is expected of them.

As usual, I am not giving success to you but I am stimulating you to think about gaining it. Again, I am not giving solution to you, but I am stimulating your mind to think about the best solution for yourself. Are you ready to think? Let us think together.
- Do you want success?
- Have you define your success?
- If that success is really what you are looking for, then for what?
- If you do not gain that success, then what?
- Finally, how?
People are talking about success and therefore you want to talk about it also. Then, do you understand what are you talking about? Which direction are you going for? Are you having your own goal or are you pursuing others’ goals? When we talk about success, most of us are eager to have it as their main objectives living in this world but some of us are actually blur and just becoming a follower. Now, let us be a thinker. If you want success, define it now. What kind of success are you searching for and is it the thing that you actually have to aim for? If not, what is it then?
After defining your success and you are really clear about that, list the importance of achieving that success. After you have got the success, then what it has to do with yourself? Does it provide a final satisfaction or does it just something unclear? If you still cannot answer this question, think further and make your list of reasons.
Let say you do not gain that success, will it lead to the end of your life? Hmmm…How about others? Will they get some effects from your failure? Make sure you are certain with the answers. These answers are going to affect your action after this (if you really want to change yourself for the better future).
Finally, define how you are going to achieve your success that you have defined before. What it takes to make that goal become real and practical? You should know your own abilities in making this goal achievable.
Others can give us advice and help us defining our direction of life, but we are the one who live our life. So why wait for others to change us? Change our own self. Now! Not later.
