How to end up where you desire

Life is a journey. Not just any journey, but the most fantastic journey in the universe. It is a journey from where you are to where you want to be. You can choose your own destination. Not only that, you can choose how you are going to get there. Goal setting will help you end up where you want to be.

For you to get to where you want to be, goal setting is a criteria to get there. When it comes to setting goals, start off with what important to you in life.

THE JOURNEY TO GOAL SETTING:

To set goal, take out a sheet of paper. Sit quietly, and on that sheet of paper, brainstorm what you want to accomplish between now and the end of your life. This process is very vita. I could still remember how we do write down our goals at the beginning of the year in my local Assembly, in order to prepare and focus on our goal in prayers and otherwise.

Use another sheet of paper, and this time consider yourself and your personal goals for the next 12 month period. Some key areas in which you might set personal goals include: family, personal growth, financial, health, social, career, hobbies, spiritual, and recreation. Write down the things that you plan to accomplish or achieve or attain during this one year period.

Now, go back and compare the two goal lists you have made, looking at the goals that are on your list at this time. If there is any that you are not willing to pay the price for, go ahead and cross them out, leaving only those items you are willing to cause to happen in your life. This does not necessarily mean you have the money or the other resources for attaining the goal at that particular point in time

Now, on still another sheet of paper, create the job goals that are important to you during this upcoming 12 month period. Identify what outcomes you wish to attain or achieve during this one year period in your specific area of responsibility and authority.  Some key areas in which you might consider writing job goals, if you did not already, include: quality, quantity, cost control, cost improvement, equipment, procedures, training, sales, financial, and personnel.

As a next step, look for the blending between your job or work goals and your personal goals. Anywhere you notice that you are attaining a goal on the job while at the same time you are attaining a personal goal, note this relationship: it is in these areas you will be most highly motivated. For each of the three lists that you have just created, take an additional sheet of paper and list the activities that you must do to attain the most important goal that you have on each of your lists.

Continually look for ways to integrate or blend personal and professional goals. Setting a goal that you believe is unattainable will result in frustration. To be challenging and motivating, goals must be perceived as realistic and attainable.

Finally, set goals that you will be proud to have achieved. Have a vision that you know is unquestionably right and you will be internally driven to achieve that vision. A goal is "reasonable" when you can see the entire process needed to get to its attainment. Good planning assists in sensing reasonableness of challenging goals. With this tips, I believe you are set to get to where you desire to be in life.
