Goal setting is not for me:
Lot of people think that goal setting belongs only to the business people, sales and marketing professionals of Corporates. Hey, it’s for you too, you are a student, salaried, working in lower-upper designation, any class any person, even a housewife. Let me tell you class, designation, position all these are secondary, the first priority is ‘LIFE’.
If you are alive, having goals are important for you too, even a small plant has a goal to grow into a big tree with strong branches and bear lots of sweet fruits.
Setting goals gives you a long-term vision, short-term motivation, it focuses you to acquire knowledge and helps you to organize your time and resources so that you can make the most of your life.
What kind of goals can you set?
Student mentality- set goals for new learning, creativity
Laughing Buddha- set goals for your happiness
Hobbies- set goals for your hobby, live your hobby
Health- set goals for fitness
Family- set goals for family
Wealth- your financial goals
Travel goals
Relationship goals
Time- set deadlines to achieve your goals
And more…
Procrastination: it will take only 10 min for me to set goals so I will do it later, I will set goals tomorrow.
In our locality we see a building getting constructed, and after few months later we realize the same building is now ready to live in, we celebrate a child’s 1st birthday and we say OMG! So quickly she has turned one seems like she was born yesterday, many of us say OMG! It’s a last day of the year didn’t realize how fast year passed.
Time flies, set your goals now, there is never tomorrow, don’t fail to set your goals
I don’t want to share my goals with anyone
If you think that they may laugh about it, they may prejudge you, they may be jealous on you, they may distract you, that’s oh k! Let them
But do share your goals with people because the number of times you talk about it to others, that many times that message actually goes to your subconscious mind and to your 32.7 trillion cells, that helps you to stay positive and achieve your goal. Not only you but your 32.7 trillion cells also know about your goals now, So there is no space for negative thoughts, only high level of confidence lies in you and No one will stop you from achieving your goals.
And there are people who may believe in you and get inspired by you
I will manage all alone
You guys know the story of a father and his 5 sons, the father didn’t want them to get separated so he gives them a lesson. He gives them all a bundle of sticks and asks them to break it, one after one all the sons tried but they failed. The father then separates the sticks and gives each son one and asks them to break it and they could easily manage to break it
the moral that he wanted to convey is that staying together no one could separate them, similarly alone you may not able to break bundle of sticks (to handle bundle of responsibilities) you may fail but with a team you will never. ‘If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to far, go together’ – African Proverb.
I will celebrate only after completing an entire goal
the Indian cricket team celebrates every wicket they take, the Football team celebrates every goal they hit, parents celebrate their baby’s first step,
It’s important to celebrate the small achievements that help you and your team to stay motivated
