Now as we all know or rather should I say as most people do,
we tend to have new year resolutions or ‘goals’ that we speak of, register in
our minds, write down and hope to achieve all for the intended year (2014 in
this case). Now while this might sound good to the ears or seem easy, we must
all admit it is not necessarily an easy feat. A few of us are able to achieve
and tick off all the listed goals by the end of the year, some of us are able
to achieve some but not all and then most of us find out that by the end of the
month of January we have already started derailing or shifting away from our
stated goals.
Yeah we could quickly get back on our feet sometime in the
year but truth be told once we have
missed our way early on, it is usually difficult for some of us to get back on
track when we have relaxed. Meanwhile to cut the Long story short, this is the
beginning of the year and if we want to see a difference in this one compared
to the last we need to have and write down those goals and be passionate enough
to work on them.
Goal Setting is the Master skill of Success and;
- This begins with a paper, pen and yourself
- Writing down your goals most times would change your life
In setting the goals we need to be clear or clarify our
ideas. Questions we could ask ourselves before setting a goal or goals are;
- What do I intend to do or achieve?
- How will I go about doing it and what are my current assumptions?
- What is my aim in life? Work? Family?...?
- What are my real or important goals and how would they affect my personal life?
When written, goals can be prioritized. For example;
- An ‘A’ goal should be the goal or something very important that if achieved would make you extremely happy.
- A ‘B’ goal would be one that you would like to achieve but not quite as important as the ‘A’ goal.
- A ‘C’ goal would be that goal that would just be nice to have or achieve but not as important as the ‘A or B’ goal.
Five Techniques that we could apply to help accelerate the
speed required to achieve our goals are such as:
- Always try and Visualize the goals as Reality
- Positively Affirm yourself or state the goal as accomplished
- Take responsibility for any results – good or bad
- Step out in FAITH (you just gotta believe in yourself people and pray with faith if religious)
- Try your best to do something or take a step daily.
I would end with this; one of the imperfect ways to instil
confidence and esteem in people is to give them goals to achieve. In order to
achieve the goals or something you have never achieved before, you must become
someone that you have never been before. Knowledge is Power but Practical
Knowledge is True Power.
So let
us all get down to writing our goal or goals, be passionate about it, work and
have FAITH in achieving them
