Law of Goal Setting in Our Daily Activities
Goal setting is the act of setting a target for a particular task or
project which we hope to complete or accomplish within a time frame. All
goals are achievable if only we could discipline ourselves to pursue
them.
Theory of goal setting suggests that it can serve as
effective tool for making progress in our career by ensuring what they
must do to achieve an objective. If you don't set a goal for that
business in small way today, you may never get the chance of becoming a
hero tomorrow. Planning is the factor of a goal setting that gives you
long-term vision and short-term motivation. It is important in a man's
life, don't neglect it, else it leads to failure. The size of your
dreams will determine the size of the person you will be. It helps you
to develop skills and to organize your time and your resources so that
you can achieve success in your life-time.
Every notable
achievement recorded in human history is a product of law of time and
goal setting. God set the goal of creation and this came to fruition.
The following questions are relevant as a guide to setting targets in
any area of life:
a- Where? This is a question of Direction. Where will my career take me to?
b- What? This is a question of purpose. Of what relevance is this goal and objective to me?
c-
When? When would this career/business be achieved? When a good idea
drops in your mind, no matter
where your are, stop and write it down, it
might be the idea that would take you to your new world. Your
determination can take you to your destination.
d- Who? This is a
question of personality; who shall benefit from the end product of my
careers and to whom shall be the glory/favour?
Every fact of life
requires that an individual has a goal or objective for achievement in
mind. This is necessary in order to have a yardstick of measuring
progress at the time of stock taking. We have six stream-lined areas.
1- Spiritual: Your relationship and level of faith in God, the creator.
2-
Financial: This has to do with monetary and financial blessings. How
much do you want to earn at various stages of production?
3-
Business: This is the work of your hand. What level do you want to reach
in your career? Your today's today labour and difficulties are the raw
materials for your future enjoyment. Champions are men of courage and
patience. Courage will make you conquer any problems.
4- Social: Your associates and influence on your work, for example Facebook.com, Nairaland.com etc
5- Shelter/Protection: Your physical building and the environment of your dwelling place.
6- Education: What information and skills will you need to break through and achieve your desire goals?
Every
journey begins with a destination in mind, before being embarked upon.
So your life's journey must be directed by concrete, achievable goals.
Set them and pursue them and you would see yourself achieving them.
After all, a journey of a thousand miles, says the Chinese adage begins
with a single step. Remember, that step must be in the right direction.
