Goal setting and realization are a difficult task for most
people. As simple as it may seem to be, thinking about and
setting a goal is not really that easy. Just like anything
else, there are steps and methodologies that have been used
by successful persons - systematic approaches to ensure
success.
Analysts, motivational gurus and psychologists
have discovered that successful people have developed a 10-
step process on how to write down and realize their goals.
All of successful persons recommend that goals have to be
written down in order to give us clearer (thereby more
manageable) outlooks as to how to accomplish the goals. When
you write down your goals, make sure they conform to the
following guidelines:
1. DEFINITE and CLEAR. It is easier to accomplish a task if
you are aware of the necessary steps to be carried out. If
your goals are vague and ambiguous, their accomplishment
will be a hit or miss exercise.
2. SIMPLICITY. Commit yourself to goals that are clear-cut
and unambiguous; complex goals will surely result in zero
accomplishments, if at all.
3. IMPORTANT. The goal you set must be valuable; it is
human nature to take care of something that is personally
valuable; we do everything to protect and ensure that
anything of value is safe and sound.
4. PURPOSEFUL. For your goals to be achievable, make sure
that they will provide benefits and comforts in your life.
Make sure your goals will give you fulfillment,
accomplishment and improvement.
5. MEASURABLE. Itemize your goals in terms of time,
duration, significance or advantage so that you are able to
determine your progress over a period of time.
6. REALISTIC. Set goals that are logical and possible to
achieve. For example, if you want to be a successful
businessperson, first you have to have a business, right?
7. CONCRETE. Visualize your goals so they become tangible
to your senses, so much so that they inspire and motivate
you to action.
8. WRITTEN. Daily activities including problems and
frustrations, more often than not, make us forget what needs
to be done. The same thing happens with our goals, if we don
not write them down we will most certainly forget them once
we are bogged down with life’s daily obstacles.
9. SHARED. By sharing your aspirations with your family,
the people you love, you indirectly generate the positive
energy they have to help you accomplish what you set out to
do. Sharing draws support, encouragement and determination
from people who matters most in your life.
10. IN TUNE WITH YOUR PRINCIPLES IN LIFE. Your goals should
reflect your moral values and principles in order to be
achievable. If not, it would be an almost impossible task
just to set out and achieve any of them because they
conflict with everything you believe in.
