Goal Setting

Goal Setting

Our lives are affected by several factors, one of which is the environment, where we live, the parents we have, the school we attend and our friends all play a role in our lives. We are shaped by events and circumstances that happen in our lives. Knowledge or lack thereof also shapes our lives. Out of all the factors that affect our lives, nothing has the power of transforming our lives for the good, than our thoughts and the decisions and actions that we take.
By knowing your purpose in life, you now know why you exist. The knowledge of knowing your vision, where you are going and where you want to be and to be doing and the decision that you take will motivate and inspire you to practice goal setting.

You are not going to start brainstorming and writing down anything and everything that comes to your mind, but you will be guided by the seeds of thoughts that you are thinking and planting. These seeds could be your dreams, things that you want and think about a lot, material possessions you would like to have, your career of becoming a doctor or singer and places you would like to visit. Remember there are no limits, except those that you set for yourself. Therefore do not limit your life by disallowing yourself to imagine great possibilities for fear that you may not achieve them.

Here is what you need to do! Write down all your short and long term goals.

Prioritize your goals

Select ten goals from your list and start writing reasons why you want to achieve those goals. Next select three goals that are more pressing in your life and convert them into specific and measurable objectives and act on them with the belief that you will achieve them. Your goals have to be clear in every detail in order for you to achieve your goals. Include all possible details, colour of the car you want, make and model; the location of the house you want, number of rooms, furniture and any other vivid details, then provide a date by which you expect to own whatever it is that you want. For those who are new in this science, it is recommended that among your small goals such as passing that exam, getting higher grades, landing that first job or getting that promotion, that you should include ‘Big Goals’ that will stretch you, because this science works whether you want to create a button or a mansion, it works whether you believe in the law of attraction or not. Once you have written down all your goals, both large and small, make sure to read your goals at least twice a day- morning and evening. Write your goals on a 3x5 card, the size of your business card and keep them in your wallet.
