There are countless methods under the sun for settings goals, and you should always use the one that is most comfortable for you. Here are a few tips that you might want to consider adding to your goal setting technique:
Desire
The more desire you put into your goals, the more likely you are to achieving them. We always hear about having goals that we are passionate about, and it is so because it is very easy to create desire for something we have a built in passion for. Think of desire as “constructive obsession”. You need to be absolutely 100% involved into making this goal happen.
Keep it to yourself
Ideally, it would make sense to tell everyone about our goals. However, that’s not the smartest way to go about it. Most people will try to discourage others from following their dream and going after a specific goal. Whatever the reason why this is so, who knows, but it just is. You are safest to keep your goal to yourself and work towards it, instead of trying to defend your decision or trying to convince someone else why this is YOUR goal.
Assess obstacles
It is important to be aware of what may block you from accomplishing your goals. Be objective and look at the situation from all angles possible. Ask yourself, what could go wrong? Then, make a note of all these obstacles and prepare a plan of action in case any of them actually happens. This way, you will be ready for whatever comes your way, and you will know what to do in such a case.
Review daily
The first act of your morning should be to review your goals. After all, you need to remind yourself why you are getting up, and thus spark your desire and create the proper level of motivation necessary to devote yourself to your goals. It is very easy to forget a lot of things while we sleep, so it is crucial to review our purpose and goals first thing in the morning.
Hope these goal setting tips make a difference in your life!
