How setting goals and being committed leads to success

BY MAKAYLA B. – 12 YEARS OLD

“It’s not about what it is. It’s about what it can become.”  Dr.Seuss

Success. What is it? Is it the act of accomplishing goals or doing what someone asks of you correctly?

There are many different meanings of what success is and it is different for everyone. It can be achieving something as small as finishing a craft or project, or reading 100 books within roughly two months.

One of my goals is to finish reading one entire book in a week, every single week. This is something I enjoy and is something I am more than capable of doing. Goals, like finishing a project within a time span of one to two months are usually some of the short-term goals that I have made and accomplished. In order to be successful every day I usually try and do something to work towards my goal and try to get as close to accomplishing what I want in whatever time I have.

I think that to be successful you need to be committed to accomplishing your goals. Being successful and being committed are connected due to the fact that being committed means to be dedicated to something you are doing, and in order to be successful you need to stay committed in order to achieve your goals and become successful in life.

Usually when I set my goals, I try and make sure that it is something I have the ability to achieve because if it isn’t, then I will have a hard time reaching that goal and it will take an exceedingly long time to accomplish those goals.

So that is it. Set goals, stay committed, and you will be successful.
