It is habits which decide the quality of the person and by extension, the quality of the person’s life.

it is necessary to have something motivational in place to remind you to stick to your plan and keep working even when you don’t want to.
One-month goals should add up to form 3-month goals, which in turn add up to form 6-month goals; 6-month goals will add up to yearly goals, etc.
It is important that you have some celebrations planned out for every milestone that you meet.
There is also the small matter of feeling even more motivated to succeed once you involve another party, who proceeds to become invested in your success, at least to some degree.
