Our article for June is entitled, Goals For Life Planning.
| Gaining control of your life by setting goals is the foundation for
success in your life. But there are traps to setting goals. Many of
us give up after a while. We lose energy and momentum. But even more,
we don't set the right goals.
Tip: Goal setting works only when a goal is to do the right thing, in the right way, for the right reason. Setting goals for your life is a much more rigorous process than simply writing down dreams, such as to be a millionaire, run your own company...those are wishes. Goals must have legs on them to take you where you want to go. Goals must come from your heart, not just your head. Goals must be aligned with life principles that help you grow. So why do people fail to reach their goals? Defining Success Failures aren't born. They're made. So are successes. Studies have shown that defining success is the first step in achieving it. This means defining success for you, in your terms. People who don't have a personal definition of success feel less successful and less satisfied in their lives. They also earn less money. If your life is not guided by a plan you create, it will be guided by a default plan, a plan created by your past conditioning and other's expectations of you. Some people resist the idea of a plan for their lives because they think it's something rigid. But having a plan is exactly what allows you to take advantage of serendipity, the unexpected, new opportunities. Your goals allow you to recognize and take advantage of the unexpected when it shows up in your life. Your success as a person depends on 3 things: goals, motivation, and right thinking. What you will be 1 year from now depends on how well you balance 2 areas of growth: personal and professional. To use any professional growth you've achieved, you must develop as a person.
