Goal Setting

By Jeffrey Wallace


Achieving a goal takes a long time and due to this reason, many people tend to divert from achieving their goals. Clearly, there are is no short cut method to achieve success. However, if you are smart enough or take smart actions, then you can reach your goals in a much shorter time compared to others. Nevertheless, do not expect to do in one day what others might take years to achieve. Listed below are few smart moves that you can follow in order to achieve success in a shorter time compared to others.

You must be able to set goals in your mind clearly. This means you must have the ability to point out your goals specifically. Often people set goals that are not specific. For example, if a person says that he wants to be rich, then that is not a goal because it has no specifications. Richness can be in terms of wealth, education, and many such things. Therefore, be specific in your goal.

Make your goals short and simple. This will make it easier for you to achieve and you can focus on the on what exactly is needed or the achievement of goals. Discuss the action plans you will take with those who will be with you during your goal achievement days. It is important to involve every person directly related to your goal and ask for his or her suggestions. It is necessary for you to know the reason behind each goal. This is because if you do not know the reason as to why you have set the goal, then you will not feel the necessity to achieve the goal.

Break down your achievement goal into small actionable goals. This will make the process fair, accurate and easier for you to achieve. You will get a definite outcome from these small goals. Keep the goals in mind as well as jot them down in a piece of paper. By only jotting them down in a paper, you will forget the goals or you will lose the motivation to reach your goal. While keeping them in mind will give you the motivation every day. Make your goals public. This way you will be promising to deliver the goals as you have promised them in public. Effectively monitor your progress. You have to this yourself, as you are the one who knows yourself the best. Thus, this is how you can set goals that are achievable.

When we set a goal, we also set a time to achieve the goal. There can be different types of goals, namely, daily, monthly, yearly and lifetime goals. Many people only set a lifetime goal. They simply do not know that to achieve the lifetime goal, it is essential to succeed in the daily, monthly or yearly goals. These small goals pave the way to a lifetime success.

Achievement is the final and the largest goal of life, the goal that you generally set as a long-term goal. When you achieve something in life, it means that you have finally reached the target that you set in your life. Achievement of something brings a sense of satisfaction within you and derives the pleasure from all the hard work given to achieve this success. In other words, it is the fulfillment of the lifetime goal.

In order to achieve the goal, you have to set our eyes on it just as an animal before catching its prey fixes their eyes on the prey.

However, keep in mind that you must not forget the principles of your life while you set to achieve the goals. Most people often forget their principles of life and resort to dubious means in order to achieve the target. Keep away from them.

The fourth major mistake that people make is that they discuss matters of importance to achieve goal with the wrong people. They make the whole process more confusing and at times negative comments or wrong comments can make you demotivated. Further, they tend to give wrong suggestions, which make it even more difficult for you to achieve success.

Among all the goals stated here, achievement goal is the most common and most understood by people. However, people know of the other goals too, but not by their names. Here after reading this, they can know the names of these goals and fix their eyes on the goals specifically. The final words say set a goal to lead a happier and confusion-free life.
