Everyone keeps talking about goals.
"What are your goals?"
"Did you accomplish your goals?"
"Did you see how many goals he scored"
What the heck is all the hype about goals? Can't we just go with the flow? Who are we to decide what we want out of our lives?
If you're the type of person that will allow life to decide your future than whatever I have to say after this sentence is of no interest to you.
For those of you who want to be in control of where your lives will go you need to set goals. Setting the goals is the easy part, accomplishing them, now that's the hard part. You need three important things if you have any chance of accomplishing your goals.
- Skills - knowledge, experience, natural talent
- Resources - ownership, money
- Support - people, organizations
- Skills - Super achievers have ambitions and goals that are in harmony with their natural talents. Someone who has natural a talent for composing music will have a low efficiency rating developing mechanical designs. Someone who has natural talent for mechanical designs will have a low efficiency rating for composing music. (There are exceptions, but they are rare.) It is important to discover your natural talent and set goals that are in harmony with it. This discovery may be difficult, but it is generally related to personal interest or what motivates you.
- Resources - Money, money, money, money,.....money!!!( Remember that song? anyways) is a very important resource that must be managed wisely. If you are broke, trust me, it will be much, much harder to get your goals accomplished. You have to learn to live within your means.
- Support - Socialize with people who have similar interests as you. Make connections! People will help you if you ask them to, so don't be afraid of accepting help in order to acheive your goals.
- Besides the three things that help you set accomplish goals you need to be organized and plan as well. Most major goals require mini goals. Acquiring skills can be considered a mini goal. The same could be true for resources. When you see your mini goal accomplished, you get excited and naturally begin setting bigger goals. eventually we get to where we want to be.
" We become what we think about all day." If we are focused on our goal, we will achieve it. If we spend all day thinking about how much money we owe - we will continue to owe money.
A person does not know what they are capable of until they try.
Trying and failing is better than not trying at all.
Remember - Money, power and influence are not goals - they are rewards ONLY for personal achievement.
Set a goal and don't let anybody, even yourself, get in the way of acheiving it!!
