We All Love To Win, If You Do Not Like To Work Toward It, You Do Not Really Want It

We all want an "easier way to win" than we see the path of, so to speak. We all have complaints about how hard our road is, and some even claim they have it too easy and complain in the opposite direction of the people who complain how hard their road is. Either way, a complaint is a complaint, and all satisfaction is genuinely up to you and your mind as it is up to my mind and my personal reality. Also, either way, wanting something is more exciting than having it most of the time. It sounds a little stupid, indeed, though that reality of life is a human truth. Everyone wants an easier way to get what they want and want something better than they have usually.
Recently, I faced a few small crisis points that told me in so many ways about the realities about life I have just mentioned culminating with my Mother telling me that it could be worse, and I should be grateful that it is not worse.
Listen, we all prefer better, and we all prefer to consistently and always win, but, without the bad, we definitely cannot have the good. I realize that. Indeed, what I also realize is that without losers, you cannot have winners. I know that is a reality that sounds horribly dualistic, but without up, you cannot have down and the other directions, and political correctness about it will save nobody. The only way out is through with objective correctness or realistic correctness.
Recently, I watched a Dr. Matt James video on you tube about cause and effect and realized the full basis of this article that you can only make a better effect by working fully on the cause in reality. It cannot work any other way or for all down time, there is always up time. For every flower blooming there are weeds dying somewhere.
Like anyone, I would love to circumvent the "bad medicine" and the "even worse" cure that comes from the "bad medicine". Reality is bitter work and sweet reward, almost always. It could work in other ways as genuinely anything is rationally possible such as bitter rewards and sweet work, or the process being better than the end. Again, the reward and win is in the eye and mind of the beholder, so is the genuine loss.
There are certain solutions that have a "did the chicken or the egg come first?" type thing going on, and I just mentioned one of those realities. It is up to you.
My name is Joshua Clayton, I am a freelance writer based in Inglewood, California. I also write under a few pen-names and aliases, but Joshua Clayton is my real name, and I write by that for the most part now. I am a philosophical writer and objective thinker and honest action taker. I also work at a senior center in Gardena, California as my day job, among other things, but primarily I am a writer.

What Is Behavior-Based Goal Setting?

When we think of goal setting, we usually think of things that envision a specific outcome. Some examples include:
• Lose 20 pounds.
• Increase income by 10%.
• Buy a larger house/newer vehicle.
• Run a marathon.
• Save money for college.
Of course, these are just a few of the more common goals that people set for themselves. But what if we based them on changing behaviors instead of obtaining a specific outcome? Could we modify or completely change behaviors that would lead us to the desired outcome quicker, healthier, and with less stress? Some experts certainly think so.
Many times, when we set intentions, we focus on the negative, i.e. what we don't want rather than what we do want. Behavior-based goals focus more on the behaviors we want to strengthen rather than the negative actions we want to remove. In strengthening the positive behaviors, we change the way we act and react in many situations - not just situations surrounding a target that is outcome-based. The ripple effect of creating more positive behaviors in our lives is wide-reaching, affecting far more than just what we may have had in mind when creating the goal.
Many businesses today are focusing on behavior-based objectives rather than outcome-based ones, because of this ripple effect. Smart companies know that when behavior changes for the positive, the employee is happier not only at work but in their personal life and family life as well. A happier employee is a more productive employee. So managers are learning to integrate behavior-based goals at each employee review.
This type of target-setting isn't seen just in the office, either. Personal trainers, life coaches, psychologists, therapists, and so many other professions are adding behavior-based goal setting to their repertoire of techniques. This helps those in these industries to help their clients reach success, whatever that may mean to them.
Targets that change behaviors can be seen as a kind of intermediate goal that helps one achieve outcome-based objectives easier, faster, and with more residual positive effects. A positive behavior that is strengthened in order to reach a goal is going to be strengthened in every situation where that behavior is utilized.
Try setting a few behavior-based goals of your own and you'll see that positively changing a behavior really helps in so many different areas of your life. The results are great, and your new positive behaviors will serve you well for the rest of your life.
