Should You Set Goals?

                                   "See your target and keep trying until you reach it." 

                                                                   -Napoleon Hill




Do you want to permanently change your life?

Do you want to create the life of your dreams?

I would imagine that you answered... YES... to both of those questions.

Did you know that there are techniques and methods based on solid scientific research to accomplish changes and make them last?

One way to create change in your life is to ask yourself what do I really want = VISION.
What is... My Vision for MY Life?
Where do I want to see myself in one year? In five years? In ten years?

Then create some yearly, monthly, weekly, daily and sometimes even hourly techniques to get
there = GOALS.

First you must have a plan. If you want to go somewhere you must have a plan.
If you are going to build a house, you need a blueprint. If you are going to travel to a different city, you must have a map or a GPS. If you are going to go on vacation, you must have a plan.
Don't be so busy planning your next vacation that you forget to plan your own life.


 "If you don't set goals for yourself, 
you are doomed to achieve the goals of someone else." 
- Brian Tracy 


So why do you think that you don't need a plan for your life?

People know what they want but they don't know how to get there.

A lot of people are talking about goals, but very few people set them.


Here are a few reasons people don't set goals.

They don't know how. It has not been taught in school and therefore people don't relate to that setting goals is something they need to do.

They don't think that they can accomplish the goals anyhow, so why setting goals. It will be a waste of their time.

They might fear ridicule. Friends, family-members, spouses, co-workers will tell them that they will not be able to do it.

They have never been around people that has ever had or set goals.



Here are  a few more.......

People have had previous disappointments, setbacks and failures.

Sometimes people are setting the wrong goals. Maybe the goals are not their own. It's what other people want them to do or accomplish.

Fear.

Sometimes they lack belief that we will be able to accomplish our goal. They have a lot of skepticism.

A lot of people don't know how to pursue the goal.

Some people are just lazy. Setting goals requires a lot of work.

Sometimes people are not committed to accomplishing their goal. They want the end result but they are not willing and committed to do the work required to accomplish their goal.



"Don't set you goals too low. 
If you don't need much. you will not become much." 
- Jim Rohn


2024 has arrived, make a commitment to yourself to design your own life.

Start creating some goals.

Get a pen and a piece of paper. Sit down and get your thinking-cap on and go to work.


Here is what I want out of life.

Make a list of what you want to be, have and do.

Figure out WHY do you want it. The reasons you want it.

Be specific and write it down.

Set a deadline for your goals. When will I have this goal accomplished. Urgency creates ACTION.

Take daily action steps towards your goal.


"Don't set your goals by what other people deem important." 
- Jaachymm N.E. Ayu
