GOAL goals

-
By now, I am sure you are convinced like I am that goal setting is important. I found out that most time after people have gotten to this point, they begin ask and wonder how to go about setting goals. So if your question is ‘how do I start, what do I put first, what should be my yardstick for measuring progress’.

Then, this writeup is for you In answering these questions, I discover by observation and from people who have done this research before me that there are two types of goals. I will succinctly explain these two approaches

THE SHORT TERM GOAL
I saw that the goals considered as short term goals are the goals you set to accomplish over a short period of time. These types of goals affect your day to day activities. These are the goals you set to make your day fulfilling. I mean every morning before you stand up from your bed, you should know what you want to do that day. Don’t just stand up from bed and do whatever comes your way. Plan your day because your daily fulfillment is embedded in carrying out your daily plans. Setting daily goals is a form of short term goals.
In fact, short term goals could be over a week. For a student goals over a short term could be; goals ranging from academics, to finance, to spiritual growth. For a working class, the goals may range from what you want to accomplish at work over a short period of time.
I discover that the most important thing about short term goal is that the result should be measureable within a short period of time.

When you achieve this short term plans, what you have is a steady and constant progress in life but then, this short term plans should have a steady overall value that is being added to the long term goal. There is therefore no point in setting goals that really have no positive effect to add to you in the long term because such plans are taking you nowhere. Do not do things that really are not important at the expense of the things that are important.
In conclusion, I will advise that, for every month, you should write out the plan of what you want to achieve in relation to your overall long term goals. Also, every morning, make plans directed towards monthly fulfillment. A student who wants to get distinction at the end of the year needs to plan to read per day. Planning to read daily is the short term goal targeted at achieving a long term goal of getting distinction. A manager who wants to expand is company at the end of the year should be able to plan to save monthly towards this expansion.

THE ACHIEVER'S ULTIMATE DISCOVERY 2

-
In my previous writeup, I pointed out how I discovered that it was impossible to be an achievr without having goals. Then I began to point out the reasons for goal setting.I will continue from there by mentioning some other points Goals give direction Now that you seem to have understood the relationship between goal and vision, I would proceed to tell you that knowing what you want to achieve would ultimately give your actions a specific direction. When you have a mental picture without a definite action plan as to how to achieve them, what you are doing is fantasizing or should I say wishful thinking. But, I tell you, once you know what you want to achieve, you can go ahead to create a roadmap on how to arrive at that future you want to future in. I mean to say that, it should be obvious top you that without goals, you cant set a roadmap as there is ...

THE SUPERNATURAL ACHIEVER

-
In the last writeup, I began to talk briefly on how to partner with the supernatural in achieving our goals. I also mentioned that any goals achieved without the involvement of the supernatural will not give you the ultimate satisfaction. In the world today, a lot of things are happening. The social world is become more involving, the political world is failing, the financial world is evolving, the education sector is become less relevant and also the spiritual world is appearing insignificant! However, only a few in there pursuit of achievement have come to realize that the world is controlled from the spiritual realm. Things happen here in every sphere of influence because there are spiritual forces put to work. This shows that for anyone to cause any major change and become a major achiever, he has to have a spiritual standing. Now, when I talk about the spiritual, I am not talking about religion as to whether you are a Christian or a muslim or a budhist-No, I am not! I am talkin...

LONG TERM GOALS

-
In the last writeup, I began to examine the various aspect you should focus your long term goals. I want to go further today by talking about some more areas where goal settings are important SPIRITUAL AND ETHICAL Let’s get this cleared, any goals set without careful consideration of its spiritual effect on the one setting it and on the people that will be influenced by such goals doesn’t make a good goal. A good goal is one that motivates, leading to a better spiritual growth. It is of outmost importance that in all of your setting of goals, one should deliberately create goals channeled towards spiritual growth. Growths are not accidental, spiritual growth happens by a deliberate action steps taken by the person growing. To grow spiritually, you may have to decide to start going to church regularly, to start praying for a certain number of minutes every day, to study the word of God every day. Spiritual growth is consciously achieved when you deliberately set out time f...
