Setting goals for 2022 (I)

This year is as good as over and the new year is just round the corner. Every phase of our lives is very important and the way we plan for each phase will determine how we will fare. The new year is critically important and if we will succeed as we ought to we need to have goals.

If you set goals and go after them with all the determination you can muster, your gifts will take you places that will amaze you. Les Brown Goals are very critical to our success. Goals help us to track our success as we journey through life.

If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us. Jim Rohn

When we sit down to draw up our goals it helps us to organize our thinking so we can constructively build our lives. It will help us know what we need to do, how to get them done and when to do them. Goal setting helps us foresee our future and make plans how to arrive at that future. When we set goals we are able to intelligently know what resources we have at our disposal to execute our purpose and where we find we are short of resources we plan how to get what is needed to get the job done. The importance of goal setting cannot be over emphasized.

Without dreams and goals, there is no living, only merely existing, and that is not why we are here. Mark Twain

The world’s greatest achievers have been those who have always stayed focused on their goals and have been consistent in their efforts. Roopleen

Many people do not set goals for many reasons. Some have set goals and because the goals were not achieved they become disillusioned about goal setting so they have given up completely on setting goals.

Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal. Prepare yourself in every way you can by increasing your knowledge and adding to your experience, so that you can make the most of opportunity when it occurs. Mario Andretti

Others just can’t be bothered to go through the stress of sitting down to set goals. Some think it is a waste of time – that what will happen will happen so why bug yourself down trying to determine what you don’t have control over. Some other people just simply don’t know how to set goals and some don’t understand the value of goal setting.

We must set goals. In life we always plan for what is important to us. We put in a lot of man hours in planning for weddings, funerals and parties because we want it to succeed. We don’t not want to have an event that is not well planned or that flops because of the value we place on the event and because we want to make judicious use of the resources we have invested into the event. If events“ weddings, funerals, parties etc are so important that they demand serious planning why then do we refuse to plan for our life. Why don’t we put the same effort we put into planning events into planning for the year ahead of us? The truth of the matters is that we do not put the same value we put on events on our lives.
