Your time and energy are extremely treasured, so
it's better to invest a little parcel of time to set the correct goals. You
don't wish to waste your efforts on ill set goals and end up crying over
spilled milk after finding out you've spent your time vainly. You don't need to
be blowing time on goals you never really wanted in the first place.
What Are You Aiming For
As you arrange your goal,
you need to see to it that they stick with the principles below. These are what
will guide you to decide the right goals so that you might pursue them.
1. Assure congruency with
your life purpose.
Your goals have to be
specified in the context of your life purpose. Everything in your life ought to
be in line with your purpose. Your purpose is the focus for everything in your
life.
If your goals and your
purpose are not congruous with one another, it either connotes:
a) Your goals are not in
line with what you wish to achieve. If so, review them to perceive your central
motives for listing them
b) You've limited the
definition of your purpose. If this is the case, try to build on the definition
of your purpose.
Do you realize what your
purpose is? By differentiating your purpose, you then have absolute clarity on
your direction and focus in life. The last thing you need to do is to spend
your whole life trying to grow apples when you truly wanted oranges.
2. Assure your goal is an
80/20 goal.
How much does this goal
interest you? Is this goal a fundamental goal in your life - in other words, an
80/20 goal? Your 80/20 goal refers to the 20 percent of goals which when
achieved, will give you 80 percent of the collective happiness from achieving
all your goals. What are these 20% goals, which really interest you? These are
what you should begin centering on.
3. Grasp your motives.
Have you ever had an
experience where you pursued a goal totally, only to distinguish you never
truly required it? There are a few basic symptoms, which come out when you
don't truly wish a particular goal: like self-sabotaging yourself in your goal
quest, losing interest during the goal achievement process, feeling hollow
after the goal has been achieved.
As you ascertain your
goal, be unclouded on your fundamental motives. Your goal should be something
that you truly wish, and not what others wish for you. How come you need this
goal? Is it for you or for others? What will you achieve out of getting this
goal? Being clear on your fundamental wants will drive you ahead in the times
when you face obstructions.
If you find yourself
setting a goal, which isn't what you truly wish but what others wish you to
accomplish, it's a sign that you're chasing imposed purposes -purposes placed
on you by others around you. It's the opposite of freeing purposes - purposes
that are live creations by you and your cognizance.
