Beginning your Goal Setting Plan
The first step in setting personal goals is to consider what you want to
achieve in your lifetime, as setting lifetime goals that gives you the overall
perspective that shapes all other aspects of your decision making process.
To help give you a broad, and balanced coverage of all important areas in
your life, try to set goals in some or all of the following categories:
• Artistic:
Do you want to achieve any artistic goals? If
so, what is it? Do you want to write a book; paint a masterpiece, or write a
song?
• Attitude:
Does your own mindset hold you back
from making progress? Is there any part of the way that you behave that upsets
you for example, do you talk too much? If so, set a goal to improve your
behavior or find a solution to the problem.
• Career:
What level do you want to reach in your career? Is it your goal to be the boss
or own your own company someday, or do you want to be the president of someone
else’s company?
• Education:
Is there any
knowledge you want to acquire in particular or some area of study that you
would like to pursue? What information and skills will you need to achieve
these goals?
• Family:
Do you want to be a parent? If
so, how are you going to be a good parent? How do you want your partner or
family members to see you?
• Financial:
How much do
you want to earn by what age in your life? What can you do to make that come
about?
• Physical:
Are there any athletic goals you
want to achieve, or do you want good health deep into old age? What steps are
you going to take to achieve this?
• Pleasure:
How do
you want to enjoy yourself? You should ensure that some of your life is geared
toward making yourself happy for no reason other than being happy.
• Service:
Do you want to make the world a better place by your
existence? If so, how?
How to begin to achieve your
Goals
Once you have decided your goals in these categories, you
have to assign a priority to them if you want to succeed.
Then review
the goals and re-prioritize until you are satisfied that they reflect the shape
of the life that you want to lead.
Also, you should ensure that the
goals that you have set are the goals that you want to achieve, and not what
your parents, spouse, family, or employers want them to be.
Success
only happens when you are working for your own well being because doing it for
others will ensure that you sabotage your own success.
Once you have set your lifetime goals, the best thing that
you can do is set a 25 year plan of smaller goals that you should complete if
you are to reach your lifetime plan.
From there you can just shorten
your overall goal spans for example, you set a 5 year plan, 1 year plan, 6
month plan, and 1 month plan of progressively smaller goals that you should
reach to achieve your lifetime goals.
Each of these should be based
on the previous plan. It is the best way to begin to achieve a lifetime that is
filled with and results in a life without any failed wishes. It results in a
life without regret.
You see, by starting out slowly, you are giving
yourself the chance to realize and work on achieving the goals that you set out
to.
Nobody ever succeeds at attaining a goal that was forced through.
Those that tried never really got what they were hoping for. In rushing through
and trying to achieve your goals quickly you will likely miss a few key aspects
that can really change your outcome.
Think of it this way; if you
were to run a 10K marathon and decided to take a cab for half of the journey;
have you really achieved that goal? Would you be satisfied when you crossed the
finish line?
It would be a hollow victory that could only provide a
moment’s happiness.
Finally set a daily to do list of the things
that you should do today to work towards your lifetime goals.
At an
early stage these goals may be to read books and gather information on the
achievement of your goals. This will help you to improve the quality and
realism of your goal setting and in effect; make it easier to achieve them.
You also have to review your plans, and make sure that they fit the way in
which you want to live your life.
Once you have decided what your
first set of plans will be, keep the process going by reviewing and updating
your to-do list on a daily basis.
You have to periodically review the
longer term plans, and change them to reflect your changing priorities and
experiences in your life.
To your Success, may you reach your
goals.
