How Far are You in Achieving your Goal?

Do you recall when the year began? How the shelves at the supermarkets and notebooks at the bookstores cleared? How journalists flooded the ground and handed the mic to you and asked of your plan for the year?

You probably sat down with a fresh mind, filled with ambition, and carefully curated a vision board. The board was a reflection of your aspirations—personal growth, financial success, better relationships, or even a long-overdue trip to your dream destination.

But now, a few months into the year, it’s time to pause and ask yourself: how far are you?

Vision boards are powerful tools that help manifest our desires. They serve as daily reminders of what we hope to achieve, but they are only as effective as the effort we put into making them a reality.

Dreams without action remain mere wishes. So, have you been intentional about taking the necessary steps toward your goals?

Perhaps you promised yourself to read more books, adopt a healthier lifestyle, or improve your financial habits. Three months into the year, have you been consistent, or have these aspirations faded into the background of a busy life?

If you feel behind, don’t be too hard on yourself. Progress is rarely linear. The beauty of a vision board is that it allows for adjustments. If certain goals now seem unrealistic or no longer align with your current path, it’s okay to refine them. The key is to stay committed.

If you are on track, congratulations! Keep that momentum going. But if you realize you’ve been sidetracked, don’t wait for another new year to start over. Revisit your vision board, break your goals into smaller, actionable steps, hold yourself accountable and mark off the small steps you take to your goal.

Even small progress is progress. Therefore, how far are you with your vision board? More importantly, what’s your next move? Because the vision is still valid—you just need to keep chasing it.
