Set Achievable Goals

I’m going to make this article simple, and, as short as possible, because goal setting is something that has been preached over and over, time and time again.  I will just deal with the key points, since this is not a “new” topic.  Here it is.   


Goal setting has been around since; well since man started having retentive memory.  If you really want success in your targeted endeavors, it is best to set goals, because this will help you focus and also serve as a base for evaluation.  If you are seeking a hidden treasure without a map for direction, you may go in circles, mope around and never find that treasure, because you have no idea where it is or how to get there.


Setting of goals can be long or short termed, depending on what we are after.  When setting our goals, these tips can help us; write down your goals, set realistic/achievable goals, be precise, and, be positive about each goal.


I am not the best when it comes to strict adherence to guidelines like this,J funny isn’t it, but you don’t have to follow my steps, we all have our different destinies and “goals”, but you may find these guidelines useful;


Goal setting motivates you to focus and organize your time and resources, so you can achieve maximum success.  By setting defined goals, we get pride in the achievements of those goals.


Keep these tips in mind:

-       Separate irrelevant and distractive things from important stuffs
-       Decide what you want to achieve in your life
-       Get self-motivation
-       Build a self-confidence based on achievements


The chance of succeeding at anything without a goal is very slim.  Set achievable goals today, because goals are like journeys – you know what awaits you at the end.

  2. The conversation went as stated below:

    Folashade Tunde-Awoyinfa: Liz....I disagree with you on one of the tips which is * Build a self-confidence based on achievements.... LEARN TO BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE ON NOTHING ELSE BUT JESUS CHRIST!!!


    Liz Greg: Ma'am, Jesus Christ is our(or my) all in ALL(all areas of life). Jesus Christ gives us wisdom to succeed in life, the scripture says that "if any one of you lack wisdom, let him ask..." ,if you fold your hands and make no plans, set no goals, then say "Jesus is my confidence", that is a recipe for disaster. By self confidence based on achievements, I mean, when you evaluate your achievements, it gives you that confidence that - you can do better, and achieve more than what you have! Of course you don't have to agree with me like I said. Huh?
