What are your goals? (Each person should make a list.)
Are any of these items free? Maybe some of them… happiness, companionship, friendship, etc.
However, in order to reach certain goals, we need to plan for them and in most cases; we need to figure out a way to pay for them.
Using the list of goals that you have written down, think about the tips listed above.
Are your goals stated positively? Did you think about time frames? Are your goals short, medium, or long term?
- Short-term goals = within 1 year
- Medium-term goals = between 1-5 years
- Long-term goals = over 5 years
When was the last time that you accomplished a task or achieved something that you thought would never happen? It made you feel good, didn’t it? The same is true of goals and goal setting.
When doing this, think about time frames or target dates and assign each goal and achievement date.
Prioritize your goals, number each of them (1,2,3, etc.) with number one being the goal that is most important to you.
Most of all, be realistic! Don’t set yourself up for failure. And remember, you are not a bad person for not reaching some of your goals. Be flexible.
Always be prepared to re-examine your goals.
Your goals and priorities will change over time.
