Goal Setting Explained

Posted on October 23, 2007 | Filed Under Motivation 

You say you have set your goals?

Congratulations!

Are they set for the right reason?

We set goals for short term objectives. Most of these
objectives concern materialistic wants: money, and physical
things.

Let’s look at a slightly different approach and I think you
will find yourself much better off in the long run.

Begin by working backwards from the future by deciding what
your life should be. What will your life five years from
now? Ask yourself these questions.

What are my surroundings? What kind of places am I in?What
am I feeling? What are my emotions?What types of people are
around me? What kind of feelings do I get from them? What
am I doing? Physically?Where am I going? My future? Where
have I been?

Notice I did not ask about money, or named places, or named
people. These answers will provide you with attitudes,
feelings, values, perceptions and other non tangible ideas
that make life worth living no matter where you are, who
you are with, or what you are doing!

Create a life that we like, and the physical part of our
lives will fit right in perfectly! Take a look at the
lifestyle you want to create, and set your plan to achieve
the lifestyle instead of ‘things’ we set our goals to
achieve.

To go even deeper, define your values very clearly and make
sure that your vision of your life in five years fits with
your values.

Is it worth it? You have heard the phrase ‘plan your work
and work your plan’? If you do not create your life by
setting goals and a plan to reach them, someone is doing it
for you. If you think about it, that is really scary! What
kind of vision would some else have for you?

Think of it this way. Look back five years ago in your
life. Are you today where you imagined you would be five
years ago? Or are you where someone else imagined you would
be?

How much would your life improve if you made the plan
instead of ‘them’? Don’t you think you might have a little
more interest in your life than someone else? I should hope
so.

As the advertisement says so well:

Just do it!
