Setting goals for 2022 (II)

Last time we began looking at goal setting. We saw that goals are very critical to our success. Goals help us to track our success as we journey through life.

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

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.

Far too many people just live life as it comes and do just what is expected by society. They go to school, they graduate, they get a job , get married, have children, build a house and as far as they are concerned they have lives well. Life is more than the expected.

When you stop to set goals and think about what you want, you break out of auto-pilot and start living a life of your conscious creation. Instead of letting others tell you what to do; you proactively take charge and think about what you want for yourself. Celestine Chua

Goals are critical to success. Goals are the arrows that gives life a target to aim and shoot at. What is the use of a bow and arrow coupled with an instruction to shoot without a target.

All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible. Orison Swett Marden

We cannot afford to live an aimless life.

Without goals we cannot accurately track our progress in life. Our lives are too important to be lived without goals.

“Men do not succeed in business or in life, no matter how intelligent they may be, no matter how sharply their aptitudes are defined, no matter how brilliantly they may be educated unless they are oriented toward the proper goals and have the drive or motivating force to succeed. One has to want something mighty hard and keep on wanting things all his life. . . .” Wallace H. Wulfeck

We must live a goal oriented life. There can be no meaningful and enduring success without goals.

“Goals are objectives, targets, purposes, intentions and plans that you intend to achieve. You set your goals to inspire yourself to further success and achievement and to measure your progress on worthwhile contributions and accomplishments. Susan M. Hearthfield

It’s been said and it’s actually true that every human being has goals. We can either have goals consciously or unconsciously.

It’s been said that everyone has goals, whether we know it or not. We have goals to keep our current job, or to get a different one. We have goals to save for the future, or to travel, take a vacation, or purchase the things we need and want to make our lives more enjoyable. An important distinction, however, is that top achievers are very intentional and focused on their goals, while many of the rest of us are not.

Top achievers know that the wording, structure, timing and format of a goal can make it’s achievement much easier – or far more difficult. Top achievers understand the basic skills for setting and reaching their goals, every time! They know how to design goals that create success.” Dr. Philip E. Humbert
