Goal Setting - What You Need To Know

Goal setting is something that we have been taught since we were young. From grade school all the way through adult life accomplishing our goals is something we strive for. The problem is many times we do not get the job done. It's not because of lack of effort. Many times it's usually the approach we take towards getting what we want. We have some tips to help you reach your desires and define what you want better.


1. Write your goals down. It seems a lot of us will try to just remember what we need to get done and that is great. The truth is when you see it written down you tend to put more value on it. Carry around your written ideas and look at them often so you will never forget them. This will keep you striving to reach them.

2. Make your goals specific. One of the biggest mistakes people make is making them too vague. It is much easier to reach something when you know exactly what you want or must do. Vague suggestions or desires just give you a chance for failure. Be as specific as you can for greater success.

Remember the quote "keep it simple stupid". Well this same quote also applies to goals. Most people make things more complex than they really have to. Keeping things as simple as possible means success will be a lot easier to obtain. Never make things tougher then you have to. Simple always seem to work best and that goes with goals as well.

Having friends and family as a support system around you is a very good idea. Tell them what you want to get done. They can help push you and encourage you. In the beginning this might not seem like a lot, but it will help you out. Sometimes people need a little extra push.

5. Your goals need to make sense as well. Do not make something that is not reasonable. Your goals and desires are reachable, but if you are starting out make it rational. Going overboard will just make it tougher for you to reach your outcome. Know what you're capable of, and do not try to do more than you can.

Goal setting is something that we all need to do sometime in our lives. Many of us will set short term and long term goals. No matter what type you set it is good idea to always go over them now and then. It will help you see how well you are progressing and what changes you may need to make.

KNOW YOURSELF

People tell you their thinking mind

For you perceive no self esteem

You change to suite all in kind

But you alone determine that you are

God made all but differently unique

Your perception to cope Gods hope

For you are somebody, one to frolique

Though many things you are not shows

Note the spiritual, the physical changes

For a child is at end a father

An over-comer to change all things strange

But you to note step by step

You are that of God inclined

Though not all sees that note

You are that of time yearned refined

Yet in scriptural understanding birthed
