GOALS

There is a great phrase to goes something like this. “If you do not know where you are going, How do you know you arrived”

Great eh! Sometimes the most simple of concepts is the most elusive to you. In my course of interacting with people I have noticed several things.

1. people are in debt up to their eyeballs
2. people pretend they can handle this situation
3. people are mad at each other
4. people are mad because they are stressed
5. people drift through their jobs stressed
6. people are stressed because the JOB is not what they wanted
7. people want to change jobs or quit
8. people have fear
9. people depressed

10.people are overweight, poor, have low self esteem

JOB= Just Over Broke

FEAR=False Evidence Appearing Real

Goal=Must be specific, measurable, action, realistic and time specific

  SMART EXAMPLE

Specific -  Means not wishy washy “Attain weight level of xxx lbs”

Measurable – This is reality “lose 6-7 lbs per month

Action – exercise 3 times per week / 20 minutes (READ up on it)

Realistic – Not fantasy “ be a size 3 and I have size 50 bones”

Time Specific – Not in 3 weeks (get real)

Problems/Obstacles

Temptation of sweets, Time Frame, Tasty Food

Plans to Counter

Reduce sugar intake, 20 minute exercise/day, increase fiber

No I am not an expert in this arena; if I was I would be living in a tropical paradise. But I have learned to set a goal. Goals are your road maps to your end destination. For example, a business needs a business plan so that it can gauge, review any progress or shortfall in its projections. People require a life plan to gauge the accomplishments, possessions, and retirement aspirations.

Ah but here is the rub, the problem, the shortfall, the “I’m pretty sure about what I am doing, I think”  So without a GOAL people are mad, peeved, pissed, annoyed, crazy driving, stressed, depressed, upset

Well, you get the picture!!

No, GOALS are not the cure to the problems in this world, but they are a step in the right direction. Think about recycling, conservation, patience, pride, reward in a career well done ( note I did not say JOB)

Well that was my 2 cents on this matter. If you want to help yourself , help others, help this planet, then here are a few books to peruse.

How to Develop a Winning Personality – Martin Panzer

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People – Stephan R. Covey

Choices with Clout – Wilber Cross

Success is Never Ending Failure is Never Final – Robert H Schuller

The Power to Dream – Wintley Phipps

Advanced Rhinocerology – Scott Alexander

Wake Up and Dream – Pat Mesiti

The Lighted Path – Risha Henrigue

What You Say is What You Get – Don Gossett

If you do not want to improve or think you have accomplished everything, then I would say you are in a RUT!!
