There are times when you feel you have no reason to get out of bed in the morning. you may know what you want your life to look like but have no idea on how to get there. It can be frustrating at times because it indicates a lack of purpose in life. to get a clear picture of how to live the life of your dreams you need to have goals. A goal is a dream or wish you plan to attain in life. A goal is something that takes planning and preparation. it is different from an aspiration. a lot of people think they have goals but all they really have are just aspirations. for example, stating that you want to be a millionaire is an aspiration but actually starting up a business that will get you the millions is a goal. To aspire and to dream is not a bad thing but those things never happen until you prepare and plan for it. A goal set effectively will have a plan of action to go with it. setting quality real life goals makes you the best version of yourself. it helps you measure and quantify growth in life. learning to set goals in life will leave you feeling more prepared for certain circumstances. setting goals helps you in decision making and teaches you on how to prioritize and simplify your life and let unnecessary things fall away. when you set a goal, the process in which you set it should give you a guided map. Your goal is not meant to be something that is binding but a means to help give you direction on your journey. like everything else in life, setting goals effectively is a skill set. it comes naturally to some and leaves others having to work at it, but the great thing about the skill is that it is something anyone can work on improving, if they want to. in setting goals, you must choose a goal that acts as a compass to give you the life you desire. set goals that will bring you an awesome life. try setting goals based on the journey and not the destination. instead of setting just life goals think about setting the life direction. figure out the things that would create a fun, meaningful and compelling journey. you can ask yourself,how do I want to spend my time, what daily activities make me want to get out of bed, what do I want to learn, and so on and be specific as possible. write out what you would like to achieve and get better at, write out what you are already doing to achieve your goal, write out what you could be doing better to achieve your goal and plan out time you could be working towards achieving your goal. give yourself a time limit on how long it should take you to achieve your goal. there is so much power in writing out your goals and working hard to achieve them. if you are not deliberate about the things you want in life, then the things you want will elude you. finally, ensure you track your goals. The truth is, many people feel unfulfilled because they don’t define and track their goals. when you track your goals, motivation kicks in. you become happy and confident knowing that your goals are within reach. remember, effective goal planning is only the first step. after you make your goals, it is time to turn your plans into action. It is the action that you take now, that will propel your life for a change in the future. Identifying what needs to get done doesn’t mean it actually gets done. goals are only accomplished by taking consistent actions. the more control you feel over your destiny, the more confidence you’ll have and the happier you’ll be.
