Do you have certain goals that you are aiming to accomplish? Or are you the type of person to live each day without a certain goal in mind?

Well, setting goals keeps you moving in life. When you have goals, you are creating your path towards success. This is because you will be striving for more in life and you will be reaching closer to those specific goals each day.

Ever since I started setting goals and working towards them, I have seen a huge improvement in my life.

Not only with getting things done but also with my self confidence. Each time I get something done, my self-esteem feels like it has been raised just because I feel proud of myself.

So, how do I do this?

Take It 1 Day At A Time

Whether it is a big or a small goal, I am constantly striving to achieve it. No matter how hard it may seem.

Yes. It may sound crazy because your goal may be huge and seem so far from where you are at now, but you must start somewhere.

You must take that first jump and start moving towards it.

I mean, you can't forget...

"Good things take time."

So, my best advice is to take it 1 Day At A Time.

Once you do take that jump and get started, things will begin to get much clearer and even more exciting!

Having a large goal may seem overwhelming, complicated, and leave you feeling stressed.

But the good news is...it doesn't have to be this way!

If you begin to move towards your goals in little steps each day, you will see a large amount of progress completed overtime.

You can not look straight at the finish line. But instead, you must make small goals or critical tasks for yourself each day that will help you move towards your overall goal.

For example:

A big goal of mine was to graduate with my Associates Degree for free.

Looking at this as a whole, made me feel and seem crazy.

But my sophomore year of high school, I began to take college credits over the summer. I took class by class for the next two years until I was a senior. I studied extra hard, had to turn down some plans, and even got a tutor for one of the classes.

But after two years of hard work, patience, and dedication. I received my first college degree at the age of 17, before I even got my high school diploma. And I saved over 6,000 dollars because I was dual-enrolled.

My dad :)

This was totally worth it!

So how did I do it?

I worked each day on something small that would help me reach towards my bigger goal.

If your goal is to lose some weight, you must start somewhere.

This can be an example of your goals for one week that will help you reach your overall goal after some time.

Sunday - Run a mile

Monday - Bike 30 minutes

Tuesday - Rest Day... but don't eat any sweets and only drink water

Wednesday - Play a full game of beach volleyball

Thursday - Dance to your top 10 favorite songs with high-energy

Friday - Swim 15 laps

Saturday - Get a HIIT workout in

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
