It is Imperative that you set goals and update them if you want to succeed in life. Before you embark on any business or personal undertaking, decide early what you really want to achieve. You will never leave where you are till you decide where you would rather be.
In 1952, a prominent university discovered that only three out of one-hundred graduates had written down a clear list of goals. Ten years later, their follow-up study showed that three percent of the graduating class had accomplished more financially than the remaining ninety-seven percent of the class.
Those three percent were the same graduates who had written down their goals. "..."Write the vision and make it plain on tablets,That he may run who reads it". Habakkuk 2:2 (NKJV)
When you decide exactly "what" you want, the "how to do it" will emerge. When your heart decides the destination, your mind will design the map to reach it. Jesus knew his purpose and mission. "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:10 NKJV. Jesus knew the product He had to offer. "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly". John 10:10 (NKJV)
Take a sheet of paper and write the first heading
"My Lifetime Dreams and Goals"- here write in total everything you would like to become, do or have during lifetime. Dream in detail on paper
Second heading will be:
"My Twelve-Month Goals" - list everything you want to get done within the next twelve months.
Third heading will be:
"My Thirty Days-Day Goals" - write out in detail what you would like to accomplish for the next thirty days.
Last heading goes like this:
"My Ideal Success Daily Routine" - now write down the six most important rituals you can do daily...The Secret Of Your Future Is Hidden In Your Daily Routine.
Set your goals realizing that your goals will change throughout your life. Someday you will look back at this very moment and be amazed at the goals you presently have. Things so vital to you at twenty years of age will become unimportant to you at thirty and so forth.
6 Helpful Tips Concerning Your Dreams And Goals
1. Invest one hour in writing down clearly the goals that really matter to you at this point. Keep it confidential and private.
2. Permit unexciting dreams of yesterday to die. Stop pursuing something that does not excite you anymore. Do not feel obligated to keep trying to obtain expired goals...if you are in a different place in your life.
3. Do not depend on others to understand your dreams and goals. Permit them their individuality, also. They have every right to love the things they love. Refuse however to be intimidated by their efforts to persuade you to move in a different direction with your life.
4. Never make permanent decisions because of temporary feelings. One young lady got so excited about a new friend that she dropped the lease on her own apartment and moved into the apartment of her friend. Within a week she realized her mistake!
5. Avoid intimate relationships with those who really do not respect your dreams. You will have to sever ties. Life is too short to permit discouragers close to you.
6. Anticipate changes to your goals. Your present feelings and opinions are not permanent. New experiences are coming. New relationships are ahead. Stay conscious of this. When you evaluate and assess your goals, you will unclutter your life of the unnecessary. Set goals and update them continuously.
