How to Achieve Dreams with SLAM Goals

Achieving a dream is one of the most fulfilling and rewarding feelings in the world. Not only does it affirm that all things are possible, but that with an intention and determination, you and I have the power to create our own, perfect reality!

Everyone has dreams, but those individuals that set goals to achieve their dreams are, realistically, one step closer to success than those people who merely hope and have faith. You can pray all you want, but when the opportunity presents itself and you don’t take it, nothing will change for you.

Goals are like building blocks that pave the way to your inevitable success. Why? Because they set goals that create a grand SLAM in our lives! A “grand slam” by definition is a sweeping success or total victory…isn’t that how you’d like to describe your life now? Yes it is. So here’s how it’s done…

A SLAM goal is simply defined as:

Specific | Lovable | Aspirational | Measurable

Specific Goal

Getting clear of what it is that you desire, is the first step in realizing your dream. Most people know what they don’t want, but very little focus on what they do want. If you continuously focus on things and situations that you do not want, you’ll attract more of it and further steering you away from your goal. It’s important that you clear your head and intentionally picture only that which you do want first and then be specific about the detail. Being vague will bring you vague results.

Lovable Goal

Set goals for something you absolutely LOVE. The positive emotions associated with your goal, is as important, as identifying your goal. When we focus on something with a lot of passion, we help create it faster! Anyone who has watched “The Secret” will understand what I’m talking about. The key is to get excited and follow your gut.

Aspirational Goal

Playing it safe won’t get you far in life! And so it is with goals. If you only ever set goals for things that seem achievable given the resources and knowledge you have to your disposal, you will never ever reach for your highest potential. It is not your job to focus on the HOW, you’re only job is to focus on the WHAT & WHY. How your goal will become a reality, will become clear once you reach for the stars…so ASPIRE for more than you can imagine possible!

Measurable Goal

Establish specific ways of how you will MEASURE your progress in attaining your goal.

A) Set a time frame for each goal i.e. a due date to keep you on track of your goals.

B) Next, list the results that need to happen in order for you to feel like you’re accomplishing your goals. List exactly what it is you will see, hear and feel when you reach your goal. Identifying and picturing your desired outcome will further clarify your goals.

Here’s an example to get you started:
