The Importance Of Setting Exciting Goals

August 30, 2009

Any time of the year would be a good time to think about your future and also to start designing the life you would like to live.  Far too many people on this planet to live their lives and day by day, they have no goals, no plan, and they have no idea where they’re going.  All they know is that they want a fantastic life.  There is a saying that says “failing to plan is planning to fail.” Would you go on a trip without a destination or without a plan?

The most important thing about setting goals is writing them down.  You must spend time thinking about how you would like your life to be.  You can start by planning a one year ahead, and writing down everything you want to achieve it during that year.  Remember to set both long-term and short term goals.

Think about what you would like for your health, relationship, finances and your career.  Set physical and mental goals.  Think about places you would like to go, things you would like to experience, things you would like to have, something you would like to be and write it down on a blank piece of paper.  Writing your goals on paper will increase your chances of actually reaching them.  If you look at the most successful people in the world, a large majority of them have a plan, and it’s written on paper.

It’s important to set realistic goal.  Many people set big goals and then find them too unrealistic to achieve.  This is why you have to break down your long-term goals into smaller short term goals with specific milestones.  Also be clear about what you want to achieve.  Do not set a goal like “I want to lose weight” or “I want to be able to pay my bills”.  These kinds of goals are very unspecific and will only clog your mind.  Make them detailed, for example write down “I want to lose 20 pounds in three months” or “I want to make  X amount of money by the end of the year.”  Now you have specific goals that are reachable, and you can also divide them into weeks and days.

It also helps to write down why you want to reach your goals, and how you would feel when you have reached that goal.  Many professional coaches suggest that you write down your goals on paper as if you have already achieved them.  When you have finished writing down your goals, write down at least one or two actions that you can take to get things started.

Read the list of goals that you created every day.  Set your mind to achieve them and look at them with a positive attitude.  Take action every day, and I promise that your life will change.
