How To Set and Achieve Goals By the time you read this article, the clock will have struck midnight, the Y2K problem will be behind us and the new millennium will have begun. You have probably made your new years resolution. Yes, the same one you made last year and the year before that only to break it three days into the New Year. Instead of making a resolution that you can't keep, why not set goals that you can achieve. After all Goals are dreams with a deadline. Goals should cover four areas: 1. Career, 2. Personal Development (who you are committed to becoming. emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually), 3. Material and 4. Financial. Take a blank sheet of paper, write as fast as you can. Keep the pen moving for ten minutes. Write down anything that you would like to do, be or have. What would you like to master? What are your career goals? Social goals? Spiritual goals? Get creative. What fears do you want to conquer? What weight or energy level would you like to achieve? You may not know how you are going to do it, but that is not important right now. Go through each goal and put a time line on it. A one if it's something you're committed to accomplishing in the next year. A three, if next three years; a five if next five years; a 10 if next 10 years, etc. Go through the list and select your one-year goals that you are absolutely committed to achieving within the next year. Write a paragraph as to why you are absolutely committed to achieving these goals. The Reasons come first. The answers come second. Your reason should be strong enough to compel you to achieve your goals. If not, you need stronger reasons or better goals. Now, you have a list of goals you are absolutely committed to achieving and the timeline for achieving them. You know why you want them and that's the power. You should be thoroughly inspired and motivated to achieve them. If you are, you will achieve them. If not, you need better goals. Take your top priority, one year goals and your why for achieving them and put them someplace where you can see them every day. Develop an action plan-the steps you need to take, to achieve your goals. Happy New Life! |
