“Big thinking precedes great achievement.”-Wilfred A. Peterson

Great achievements don't just "happen" . They begin as a thought, followed by action. Whatever goals we have for ourselves, whether health and fitness related or otherwise, it's important to think, and actually believe, we can achieve our goals.

First, we have to set a SPECIFIC goal.   It is difficult to achieve a vague ambition. Rather than say, "I want to be healthier", we should say, "I will eat a vegetable at every meal", or "I will drink 8 glasses of pure water each day". Having a specific goal, one that requires you to act, will be much more achievable.

Second, take action. Once we have a goal set, and have a plan of action, we need to ACT. Eat your vegetables, drink 8 glasses of water each day, exercise 5 times a week, sleep 7 hrs a night, etc... whatever it is, just do it.

Finally, be consistent. If we fail, we will try again. It takes a consistent effort to achieve  goals. Once we achieve one goal, we should prepare to set another. Think it, write it down, act on it, and continue acting upon it consistently.

I love the shakira song from the movie "Zootopia". The lyrics are so uplifting and encouraging. "No, I won't give up, I won't give in, until the end, then I'll start again, Try everything".

When we think it and make a consistent effort to achieve it, we can accomplish anything.
