Dreams vs Goals: Road to Fit Body

Setting up goals is very vital to one’s success. However, dreams and goals, as you may find it quite similar, are two different beasts.

It’s important to know both differences. Dreams are things you aspire and hope to achieve someday, things that you like thinking about but don’t know if it will ever happen or not. Goals, meanwhile, are particular things that you have aimed to need to accomplish for a definite period of time. An example case is having a fit body. In a dream statement, you’ll say, “Someday I’ll lose weight and have a fit body”. Whereas with goals, you declare a certain timeframe and your statement will be like, “In three to six months, I will lose fat, gain more muscles and sculpt a rock hard abs.

What’s great is that once you attain your goals, your positive energy boosts to higher level as well as your confidence, allowing you to go on to set and achieve grander goals ahead. The achievement you get gives you that extreme feeling of happiness and the success it brings does create many exciting dreams you wish to aspire. Somehow it builds tremendous optimism and hope and when you’re optimistic, you know you can achieve any goals you set and you just can’t wait to get your hands on the next and win it big time.

On the negative side though, when you’re unable to achieve your goals, you get disheartened, self-confidence suddenly gets an all-time low and you can’t create greater dreams anymore. When you stop dreaming, you don’t have something to look forward to, you then look down which leads to lost hope.

So here’s an advice, set a goal which is close to reality. In that way, you’ll be able to do it step by step until you reach success. If your aim is to have a fit body, find someone who has achieved the same thing as what you’ve set in, someone who is in the same situation as you are and observe how they’re able to do it. Get inspired by their work so it may rub off to you. If they can do it, you can do it too. But of course, you have to consider that all people have different genes, so if that person is able to cut down the weight for let’s say six months or lower, don’t get demoralized if by six months you haven’t reach your goal yet. Just keep on working out and you’ll be surprised at what you have achieved. It may take long shot but you will get there eventually. The road to fitness isn’t just a one night thing, it’s a lifestyle.
