Learn this simple yet effective goal setting technique to choose your destiny and achieve your dreams
Are you exactly where you would like to be at this point in your life? Are you making daily progress toward the life you truly desire? Do you know where it is that you are going to be in a year, 5 years, or 10 years? Does everything that you do have meaning and purpose?
If you answered YES to all of these questions, I would be willing to place a bet on the fact that you have goals. But if you answered any of them with a NO, goal setting is something that you may need to take a little more seriously.
Goals are essential for a happy and successful life. They give you direction, they add meaning to everything that you do, they offer a sense of hope and power, and they allow you to build a life that brings you happiness.
Many people do not understand the fundemantals of goals setting, and they do not know how to get started. I want to share a goal setting technique that will work wonders in your life, if you apply it.
Create a Vision You cannot set short term or long term goals unless you know what you want to achieve. The starting point of setting goals is getting in your mind a clear picture of how you want to be. Imagine yourself ten years from now, what does your ideal life look like? The more clear your mental image, the better you will be able to create it.
Write a Mission Statement To solidify that image, write out on a piece of paper a Mission Statement. Cleary outline your life’s vision, and do so in the present tense as if you are living the life you desire. Make it clear, precise, and as detailed as possible. Sign your name to it and keep it somewhere that you will see it and review it on a daily basis.
Set Long Term Goals If you want to be living the life of your vision in ten years from now, what will you need to accomplish in the next five years, the next year, and the next six months. You may not know everything that you need to do, but write out long term goals that will take you closer to your idea life.
Set Short Term Goals Once you know what you need to accomplish in the next few years, decide on monthly, weekly, and daily goals that will bring you step by step closer to your vision. Baby steps taken on a daily basis will take you ever closer to living your dream life. Looking at everything that stands between you and your idea life can be daunting, but when you break it down and only focus on one small activity at a time, you will feel in control and you will be more likely to stick to your vision.
Never Give Up If you use this goal setting technique and never lose sight of your goals, and you never lost the motivation to achieve them, you will never quit. And the good news is that if you are unwilling to quit, you will eventually have everything that you intended.
