The ABCD of Bridging the gap between Goal Setting and Goal Achieving

 



The ABCD of bridging the gap between Goal Setting and Goal Achieving 


Intent is Great. 

Planning is Important.

Support System is crucial. 

Execution gets the Job Done. 


We are touching 50 days into 2025 and some of us have already let go of the efforts for our goals.  

Somewhere along the way, intent didn't translate into action and motivation fizzled out.


Why? Because setting goals is the easy part.

Achieving them requires a structured approach.



Let’s break it down:


A. Intent is Great: But It’s Just the Beginning


Setting goals is exciting. 

We visualize success, feel inspired, and convince ourselves that this time, things will be different.

But intent alone doesn’t create results.

Think about it: how many times have we set goals but failed to execute? 

Intent is the spark, but it needs fuel to keep the fire burning.


B. Planning is Important: But Don’t Get Stuck There


A goal without a plan is just a wish. 

Planning gives intent a structure, a roadmap, and a timeline.

Break down the goal: What steps are needed to achieve it?

Set clear deadlines: Without deadlines, goals get pushed indefinitely.

Anticipate obstacles: Identify challenges in advance and prepare for them.

However, beware of analysis paralysis. 

Some people spend so much time planning that they never take action. 

Planning should guide execution, not delay it.


C. Support System is Crucial: You Can’t Do It Alone


The journey from goal setting to goal achieving is not a solo endeavor. The right support system can make or break your success.


- Mentors & Coaches: They provide guidance, accountability, and perspective.

- Peers & Colleagues: A strong network keeps you motivated and offers valuable feedback.

- Friends & Family: Their emotional support helps you stay resilient through setbacks.


Having the right people around you ensures that you stay committed when motivation dips.


D. Execution Gets the Job Done: Action Over Everything


You can have the best intent, the perfect plan, and a strong support system, but if you don’t take action, nothing happens.


This is where most people fail. They wait for:

- The right time – but there’s never a perfect time.

- More motivation – but action creates motivation, not the other way around.

- Ideal conditions – but success is built by working through imperfect conditions.


Start before you feel ready. 

Take small, consistent steps. 

Progress compounds over time.


So, How Do You Bridge the Gap?

- Set the goal with clear intent.

- Create a roadmap with actionable steps.

- Surround yourself with the right people.

- Commit to action and be consistent.


Your dreams don’t work unless you do.

Make 2025 the year where you don’t just set goals; 

but achieve them with resounding success.


What are the GOALS you’re committed to ACHIEVE this year? 

Drop it in the comments! 👇

Make a public declaration and put it out in the world. 

And let the universe transpire to help you achieve it.

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

Image
    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
