Goals we set are goals we get, or at least get close to. It can
be a wish or a hope or a dream. If you can't write it out in clear
detail, then odds are against you achieving it. Not only do you have to
be able to write out the goal clearly, you have to able to right out the
major steps to reaching the goal as well.
Does that sound like a lot of work? It should. Setting goals for the major areas of your life should take some major time. I did this last week and it took me five hours to write the overview of my goals. I have since been working on the breakdown of those goals. Thinking your way through the major steps can be almost as challenging as clearly defining your goals.
What's the alternative?
How did last year go for you? Would you like a repeat performance, or something a little better? The reality is that only about 3% of Americans have written goals. And what do most people do? They whine and complain about how awful their life is, yet they won't spend a couple hours a year directing it. I find this to be one of the more frustrating things as I listen to people tell their tales of whoa.
If you are one of those people who do not set goals and are a little offended by my comments... GOOD! It's your life. Why are you letting everyone else direct it for you? Is every goal going to be reached exactly as you planned? No. Most won't even come close. There are two things to keep in mind when trying to reach goals. Number one, you are trying something new, so there is a learning curve involved. Number two, goals are meant to send us in a direction. Often times that direction is to something better than the origianlly planned goal. But if you set no goals, you get what's left over.
Goals give us control.
We feel happy to the extent we feel in control. Goals can quite easily be the key to your happiness. Are goals going to solve all your problems and give you the life of your dreams overnight? No. But it reduces your daily stress exponentially because you know where you are heading, and the plan to get you there. That is powerful and makes many bad incidences much more palatable along the way.
Take the time. Set your goals. Live your life your way.
